The Government Records Department may, in its discretion and at the
request of a records requester, waive all or a portion of the fees
otherwise chargeable for records requests by tribal members under
a predetermined amount established in the fee schedule adopted by
the Department. Any other waiver of fees would have to be approved
by the Chief Executive Officer when in his or her judgment fulfilling
the request would be in the public interest. The criteria and determination
that a request is in the public interest shall consider whether the
request and dissemination of the information requested relates to
promoting the health, safety and welfare of the broader tribal community
and is intended to promote public policy initiatives within the Tribal
government and is not primarily intended for the personal, political
or commercial benefit of the records requester.
