205.320.

����� (5) The custodian of a public record may furnish copies without charge or at a substantially reduced fee if the custodian determines that the waiver or reduction of fees is in the public interest because making the record available primarily benefits the general public.

����� (6) A requester who believes that there has been an unreasonable denial of a fee waiver or fee reduction may petition the Attorney General or the district attorney in the same manner as a requester who petitions when inspection of a public record is denied under ORS 192.311 to 192.478. The Attorney General, the district attorney and the court have the same authority in instances when a fee waiver or reduction is denied as when inspection of a public record is denied.

����� (7) A public body shall make available to the public a written procedure for making public records requests that includes:

����� (a) The name of one or more individuals within the public body to whom public records requests may be sent, with addresses; and

����� (b) The amounts of and the manner of calculating fees that the public body charges for responding to requests for public records.

����� (8) This section does not apply to signatures of individuals submitted under ORS chapter 247 for purposes of registering to vote as provided in ORS 247.973. [Formerly 192.440; 2025 c.30 �1]

����� 192.329 Public body�s response to public records request. (1) A public body shall complete its response to a written public records request that is received by an individual identified in the public body�s procedure described in ORS 192.324 as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay.

����� (2) A public body�s response to a public records request is complete when the public body:

����� (a) Provides access to or copies of all requested records within the possession or custody of the public body that the public body does not assert are exempt from public disclosure, or explains where the records are already publicly available;

����� (b) Asserts any exemptions from disclosure that the public body believes apply to any requested records and, if the public body cites ORS 192.355 (8) or (9), identifies the state or federal law that the public body relied on in asserting the exemptions;

����� (c) Complies with ORS 192.338;

����� (d) To the extent that the public body is not the custodian of records that have been requested, provides a written statement to that effect;

����� (e) To the extent that state or federal law prohibits the public body from acknowledging whether any requested record exists or that acknowledging whether a requested record exists would result in the loss of federal benefits or imposition of another sanction, provides a written statement to that effect, citing the state or federal law that the public body relies on, unless the written statement itself would violate state or federal law; and

����� (f) If the public body asserts that one or more requested records are exempt from public disclosure, includes a statement that the requester may seek review of the public body�s determination pursuant to ORS 192.401, 192.411, 192.415, 192.418,
