(3) A requester shall pay the applicable fees to the department prior to or at the time the department complies with the request. No refund of fees shall be made. If the department notifies a requester of determined or estimated fees in excess of $25, as provided in section (2) of this rule, the requester shall, pay a deposit of such determined or estimated fee prior to the department complying with the request.
