I have experienced one publisher asking for a fee. It was a European journal. We don't have a budget for this, nor would I want to spend money on it. But it does happen. CCC cannot grant perpetual rights for an IR, but sometimes they can helpfully point you in the direction of the actual copyright holder. I have been able to get permission that way.

(We tell students not to pay the ProQuest OA fee for their theses).
