58.7  Cost of Compliance

In the event of a request from the Authority pursuant to clause 58.2, the Service Provider shall as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request, inform the Authority of the Service Provider's estimated costs of complying with the request to the extent these would be recoverable if incurred by the Authority under section 12(1) of the FOIA and the Fees Regulations.  Where such costs (either on their own or in conjunction with the Authority's own such costs in respect of such Request for Information) will exceed the appropriate limit referred to in section 12(1) of the FOIA and as set out in the Fees Regulations (the Appropriate Limit) the Authority shall inform the Service Provider in writing whether or not it still requires the Service Provider to comply with the request and where it does require the Service Provider to comply with the request the ten (10) Business Days period for compliance shall be extended by such number of additional days for compliance as the Authority is entitled to under section 10 of the FOIA.  In such case, the Authority shall notify the Service Provider of such additional days as soon as practicable after becoming aware of them and shall reimburse the Service Provider for such costs as the Service Provider incurs in complying with the request to the extent it is itself entitled to reimbursement of such costs in accordance with its own FOIA policy from time to time.
