When sufficient quantities of printed material exist to meet internal needs, extra
copies may be sold to the public at a cost of 1 cent per page. However, the cost of
any publications from the Government Printing Office (GPO) is determined by the Superintendent
of Documents. Publications for sale by GPO are listed in the Social Security Rulings
Preface. Refer requests for these publications to GPO for purchase of documents sold
by them.
Preprinted POMS materials are sold only by part (i.e., parts 1, 2, 3, etc.) at the
cost of 1 cent per page. If a requester wants only specific chapters or sections and
does not wish to purchase a complete part, they should use the photocopy procedures.
No charge will be made for services and/or materials under the FOIA when the total
amount of fees does not exceed $7.50. (See subsection GN 03311.005C.3.
