O'Day Act COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM PEOPLE Sec. 51 8.15 Collection
of fees and charges. (a) Except when prepayment is required, payments
shall be collected to the fullest extent possible at the time the requested
materials are furnished. Payments shall be made by requesters within 30
days of the date of the billing. (b) Payments shall be made by check, draft,
or money order made payable to the Treasury of the United States. (c) In instances where a requester has previously
failed to pay a fee, the Committee may require the requester to pay the
full amount owed, plus any applicable interest as provided below, as well
as the full estimated fee associated with any new request before it begins
to process the new or subsequent request. (d) On requests that result in fees being
assessed, interest will be charged on an unpaid bill starting on the 31st

at the rate prescribed in section 3717 of Title 31 United States Code,
and will accrue from the date of the billing. (e) In attempting to collect fees levied
under FOIA, the Committee will abide by the provisions of the Debt Collection

agencies and in the use of collection agencies, where appropriate, to
encourage payment.
