"If a request would cost less than the appropriate limit to answer, and there is no other basis on which it may be refused or otherwise dealt with, the public authority must comply with the request. It cannot charge for the areas listed [below] in relation to the request:
* determining whether [the authority] holds the information requested
* locating the information or documents containing the information
