manner of collation, or volume of a government record embodied in the form
of printed matter to
be inspected, examined, or copied pursuant to this section is such that
the record cannot be
reproduced by ordinary document copying equipment in ordinary business
size or when fulfilling
a request requires an extraordinary expenditure of time and effort. See

Special service charges must be based upon the actual direct cost of
