Collection Access and User Charging Principles

The NFSA is seeking public comment on our proposed Collection Access and User Charging Principles. Since becoming an independent statutory authority, the NFSA has been progressively reviewing the way it does business. As part of that, it is examining the basis on which it charges fees to collection access users and is now releasing a draft statement of NFSA Collection Access and User Charging Principles.

The NFSA is interested in consulting as part of its decision making process and invites comments by 30 June 2010. The principles, once finalised, will be used to support a revision of Access Fees during 2010/11. Comments can be made via the survey form.

The NFSA will treat information provided through the survey as confidential and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
