2:        If the repository charges what is the fee structure?
 
3:        How are the fees established and collected?
 
4:        How is a collection determined to be liable for the fee?
 
5:        How has charging for collections effected receipt of
          collections?
 
6:        How has charging for collections effected techniques used
          in the field?
