(1) This rule defines "reasonable fees" which the Child Support Program (CSP) will pay to financial institutions for implementing and conducting computerized data matches under ORS 25.640 through 25.646.

(b) Computer system expenses specifically related to establishing and conducting the data match;

(c) Costs of material acquired, consumed or expended specifically for the purpose of establishing and conducting the data match;
