P.R. Laws tit. 4A, § 6
The party requesting the copy of the recording shall pay for the services of the preparation thereof the amount of five (5) dollars per hour or fraction thereof taken in the preparation of the duplicate plus the cost of each magnetic tape with its reel, if any, as it appears from the certificate issued by the authorized officer of the office of Court Administration. If only part of a magnetic tape is used for the duplication of the record, the total cost of the same shall be charged.
Whenever the court authorizes, at its own initiative, the issuance of a copy of the magnetic tape for the use of one party, the said party shall pay the aforementioned fees before its delivery.
When at the request of a party the court permits that the recording be copied, said party shall supply the recording equipment to that effect including the corresponding magnetic tapes, but it shall pay the amount of five (5) dollars per hour or fraction thereof taken in the preparation of the duplicate of the recording for the services of the employee of the court who operates the tape recorder.
When any party requests the certificat[ion] of a total or partial transcript of the tape prepared by said party, it shall deposit with the office of the Clerk of the Court stenographers for the benefit of the State [sic].
