If the commission notifies a requestor of estimated or determined fees in excess of $25, as provided in section (2) of this rule, the requestor shall upon commission’s request, pay a deposit of such estimated or determined fee prior to the commission complying with such request. (4) No fees shall be assessed to other governmental agencies or offices.
