hunting for seals. Since most seal
hunting is done during the winter and
spring when the anchor handling
program is not operational, NMFS
considers that the potential effects to
seal hunting are largely avoided.
Mitigation measures to be
implemented include participation in
operational Com Centers (below). With
these mitigation measures and the
nature of the proposed action, we are
confident that any harassment of seals
resulting from the 2016 anchor handling
program will not have an unmitigable
adverse impact on the availability of
seals to be taken for subsistence uses.
Plan of Cooperation or Measures To
Minimize Impacts to Subsistence Hunts
Regulations at 50 CFR 216.104(a)(12)
require IHA applicants for activities that
take place in Arctic waters to provide a
Plan of Cooperation (POC) or
information that identifies what
measures have been taken and/or will
be taken to minimize adverse effects on
the availability of marine mammals for
subsistence purposes.
Fairweather has prepared a draft POC,
which was developed by identifying
and evaluating any potential effects the
proposed anchor retrieving operation
might have on seasonal abundance that
is relied upon for subsistence use.
Specifically, Fairweather will take
important time periods into
consideration when planning its anchor
retrieving operation, including the
beluga whale subsistence activities near
Kotzebue and in the Chukchi Sea, and
bowhead whale subsistence activities in
the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.
Fairweather plans to enter the Beaufort
Sea as soon as Point Barrow is ice-free
and be finished at the Sivulliq location
well before the August 25, 2016
commencement date of bowhead
whaling. Although not anticipated with
the proposed schedule, if crew changes
are needed, they will occur at either
Wainwright or Prudhoe Bay depending
on the location of the vessel.
Fairweather will work with the
community of Wainwright through its
joint venture with Olgoonik
Corporation. Through the establishment
of village liaisons and onboard PSOs,
Fairweather will ensure there are no
conflicts with subsistence activities.
Fairweather has developed a
communication plan and will
implement this plan before initiating the
anchor handling program. The plan will
help coordinate activities with local
Com Centers and thus subsistence users,
minimize the risk of interfering with
subsistence hunting activities, and keep
current as to the timing and status of the
bowhead whale hunt and other

subsistence hunts. The communication
plan includes procedures for
coordination with Com Centers to be
located in coastal villages along the
Chukchi Sea during the proposed
anchor handling activities.
Fairweather attended the AEWC
meeting in Barrow from February 3–5
and presented the project components
and developing mechanisms to work
with the communities to present
consistent and concise information
regarding the planned anchor handling
program. Fairweather intends to sign a
Conflict Avoidance Agreement (CAA).
Throughout 2016, Fairweather will
continue its engagement with the
marine mammal commissions and
committees active in the subsistence
harvests and marine mammal research.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
Within the project area, the bowhead,
humpback, and fin whales are listed as
endangered under the ESA. NMFS’
Permits and Conservation Division
engaged in consultation with staff in
NMFS’ Alaska Region Protected
Resources Division under section 7 of
the ESA on the issuance of an IHA to
Fairweather under section 101(a)(5)(D)
of the MMPA for this activity. In May
2016, NMFS issued a Biological
Opinion concluding that the issuance of
the IHA associated with Fairweather’s
anchor retrieval operations in the
Chukchi and Beaufort seas during the
2016 open-water season is not likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of
the endangered bowhead, humpback,
and fin whales. No critical habitat has
been designated for these species,
therefore none will be affected.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
NMFS prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) that includes an
analysis of potential environmental
effects associated with NMFS’ issuance
of an IHA to Fairweather to take marine
mammals incidental to conducting
anchor retrieval operations in the
Chukchi and Beaufort seas. The draft EA
was available to the public for a 30-day
comment period before it was finalized.
Based on the EA, NMFS made a Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for
this action. The FONSI was signed on
June 30, 2016, prior to this issuance of
the IHA. Therefore, preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement is not
necessary.
Authorization
As a result of these determinations,
NMFS has issued an IHA to Fairweather
for the take of marine mammals, by
Level B harassment, incidental to

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 152 / Monday, August 8, 2016 / Notices
Part F of
title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA), specifies the
criteria, data elements, calculations, and
tables the Department of Education
(Department) uses in the Federal Need
Analysis Methodology to determine the
EFC.
Section 478 of the HEA requires the
Secretary to annually update the
following four tables for price
inflation—the Income Protection
Allowance (IPA), the Adjusted Net
Worth (NW) of a Business or Farm, the
Education Savings and Asset Protection
Allowance, and the Assessment
Schedules and Rates. The updates are
based, in general, upon increases in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI).
For award year 2017–18, the Secretary
is charged with updating the IPA for
parents of dependent students, adjusted
NW of a business or farm, the education
savings and asset protection allowance,
and the assessment schedules and rates
to account for inflation that took place
between December 2015 and December
2016. However, because the Secretary
must publish these tables before
December 2016, the increases in the
tables must be based on a percentage
equal to the estimated percentage
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) for
2016. The Secretary must also account
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
for any under- or over-estimation of
inflation for the preceding year.
In developing the table values for the
2016–17 award year, the Secretary
assumed a 2.5 percent increase in the
CPI–U for the period December 2014
through December 2015. Actual
inflation for this time period was .7
percent. The Secretary estimates that the
increase in the CPI–U for the period
December 2015 through December 2016
will be 2.1 percent.
Additionally, section 601 of the
College Cost Reduction and Access Act
of 2007 (CCRAA, Pub. L. 110–84)
amended sections 475 through 478 of
the HEA affecting the IPA tables for the
2009–10 through 2012–13 award years
and required the Department to use a
percentage of the estimated CPI to
update the table in subsequent years.
These changes to the IPA impact
dependent students, as well as
independent students with dependents
other than a spouse and independent
students without dependents other than
a spouse. This notice includes the new
2017–18 award year values for the IPA
tables, which reflect the CCRAA
amendments. The updated tables are in
sections 1 (Income Protection
Allowance), 2 (Adjusted Net Worth of a
Business or Farm), and 4 (Assessment
Schedules and Rates) of this notice.
As provided for in section 478(d) of
the HEA, the Secretary must also revise
the education savings and asset
protection allowances for each award
year. The Education Savings and Asset
Protection Allowance table for award
year 2017–18 has been updated in
section 3 of this notice.
Section 478(h) of the HEA also
requires the Secretary to increase the
amount specified for the employment
expense allowance, adjusted for
inflation. This calculation is based on
increases in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics’ marginal costs budget for a
two-worker family compared to a oneworker family. The items covered by
this calculation are: Food away from
home, apparel, transportation, and
household furnishings and operations.
The Employment Expense Allowance
table for award year 2017–18 has been
updated in section 5 of this notice.
The HEA requires the following
annual updates:
1. Income Protection Allowance. This
allowance is the amount of living
expenses associated with the
maintenance of an individual or family
that may be offset against the family’s
income. The allowance varies by family
size. The IPA for the dependent student
is $6,420. The IPAs for parents of
dependent students for award year
2017–18 are as follows:

2. Adjusted Net Worth of a Business
or Farm. A portion of the full NW
(assets less debts) of a business or farm
is excluded from the calculation of an
expected contribution because (1) the
income produced from these assets is
already assessed in another part of the
formula; and (2) the formula protects a
portion of the value of the assets.
The portion of these assets included
in the contribution calculation is
computed according to the following

4. Assessment Schedules and Rates.
Two schedules that are subject to
updates—one for parents of dependent
students and one for independent
students with dependents other than a
spouse—are used to determine the EFC
from family financial resources toward
educational expenses. For dependent
students, the EFC is derived from an
assessment of the parents’ adjusted
available income (AAI). For
independent students with dependents
other than a spouse, the EFC is derived
from an assessment of the family’s AAI.

5. Employment Expense Allowance.
This allowance for employment-related
expenses—which is used for the parents
of dependent students and for married
independent students—recognizes
additional expenses incurred by
working spouses and single-parent
households. The allowance is based on
the marginal differences in costs for a
two-worker family compared to a oneworker family. The items covered by
these additional expenses are: Food
away from home, apparel,
transportation, and household
furnishings and operations.
The employment expense allowance
for parents of dependent students,
married independent students without
dependents other than a spouse, and
independent students with dependents
other than a spouse is the lesser of
$4,000 or 35 percent of earned income.
6. Allowance for State and Other
Taxes. The allowance for State and

SUMMARY: This notice is a republication of a May 24, 2016 notice (81 FR
32737) to include information that was missing from the original
version. The only change to this version is in the ``Education Savings
and Asset Protection Allowance'' table under the ``Parents of Dependent
Students'' section, where the first row of information was missing from
the original notice. No other information has changed.
The Secretary announces the annual updates to the tables used in
the statutory Federal Need Analysis Methodology that determines a
student's expected family contribution (EFC) for award year 2017-18 for
these student financial aid programs. The intent of this notice is to
alert the financial aid community and the broader public to these
required annual updates used in the determination of student aid
eligibility.

[[Page 52419]]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part F of title IV of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), specifies the criteria, data elements,
calculations, and tables the Department of Education (Department) uses
in the Federal Need Analysis Methodology to determine the EFC.
Section 478 of the HEA requires the Secretary to annually update
the following four tables for price inflation--the Income Protection
Allowance (IPA), the Adjusted Net Worth (NW) of a Business or Farm, the
Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance, and the Assessment
Schedules and Rates. The updates are based, in general, upon increases
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
For award year 2017-18, the Secretary is charged with updating the
IPA for parents of dependent students, adjusted NW of a business or
farm, the education savings and asset protection allowance, and the
assessment schedules and rates to account for inflation that took place
between December 2015 and December 2016. However, because the Secretary
must publish these tables before December 2016, the increases in the
tables must be based on a percentage equal to the estimated percentage
increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
for 2016. The Secretary must also account for any under- or over-
estimation of inflation for the preceding year.
In developing the table values for the 2016-17 award year, the
Secretary assumed a 2.5 percent increase in the CPI-U for the period
December 2014 through December 2015. Actual inflation for this time
period was .7 percent. The Secretary estimates that the increase in the
CPI-U for the period December 2015 through December 2016 will be 2.1
percent.
Additionally, section 601 of the College Cost Reduction and Access
Act of 2007 (CCRAA, Pub. L. 110-84) amended sections 475 through 478 of
the HEA affecting the IPA tables for the 2009-10 through 2012-13 award
years and required the Department to use a percentage of the estimated
CPI to update the table in subsequent years. These changes to the IPA
impact dependent students, as well as independent students with
dependents other than a spouse and independent students without
dependents other than a spouse. This notice includes the new 2017-18
award year values for the IPA tables, which reflect the CCRAA
amendments. The updated tables are in sections 1 (Income Protection
Allowance), 2 (Adjusted Net Worth of a Business or Farm), and 4
(Assessment Schedules and Rates) of this notice.
As provided for in section 478(d) of the HEA, the Secretary must
also revise the education savings and asset protection allowances for
each award year. The Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance
table for award year 2017-18 has been updated in section 3 of this
notice.
Section 478(h) of the HEA also requires the Secretary to increase
the amount specified for the employment expense allowance, adjusted for
inflation. This calculation is based on increases in the Bureau of
Labor Statistics' marginal costs budget for a two-worker family
compared to a one-worker family. The items covered by this calculation
are: Food away from home, apparel, transportation, and household
furnishings and operations. The Employment Expense Allowance table for
award year 2017-18 has been updated in section 5 of this notice.
The HEA requires the following annual updates:
1. Income Protection Allowance. This allowance is the amount of
living expenses associated with the maintenance of an individual or
family that may be offset against the family's income. The allowance
varies by family size. The IPA for the dependent student is $6,420. The
IPAs for parents of dependent students for award year 2017-18 are as
follows:
Parents of Dependent Students

For each additional family member add $4,290. For each additional
college student subtract $3,050.
The IPAs for independent students with dependents other than a
spouse for award year 2017-18 are as follows:

For each additional family member add $6,060. For each additional
college student subtract $4,300.
The IPAs for single independent students and independent students
without dependents other than a spouse for award year 2017-18 are as
follows:

2. Adjusted Net Worth of a Business or Farm. A portion of the full
NW (assets less debts) of a business or farm is excluded from the
calculation of an expected contribution because (1) the income produced
from these assets is already assessed in another part of the formula;
and (2) the formula protects a portion of the value of the assets.
The portion of these assets included in the contribution
calculation is computed according to the following schedule. This
schedule is used for parents of dependent students, independent
students without dependents other than a spouse, and independent
students with dependents other than a spouse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the NW of a business or farm is Then the adjusted NW is

3. Education Savings and Asset Protection Allowance. This allowance
protects a portion of NW (assets less debts) from being considered
available for postsecondary educational expenses. There are three asset
protection allowance tables: One for parents of dependent students, one
for independent students without dependents other than a spouse, and
one for independent students with dependents other than a spouse.

4. Assessment Schedules and Rates. Two schedules that are subject
to updates--one for parents of dependent students and one for
independent students with dependents other than a spouse--are used to
determine the EFC from family financial resources toward educational
expenses. For dependent students, the EFC is derived from an assessment
of the parents' adjusted available income (AAI). For independent
students with dependents other than a spouse, the EFC is derived from
an assessment of the family's AAI. The AAI represents a measure of a
family's financial strength, which considers both income and assets.
The parents' contribution for a dependent student is computed
according to the following schedule:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If AAI is Then the contribution is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than -$3,409.......................... -$750
-$3,409 to $16,000......................... 22% of AAI.
$16,001 to $20,100......................... $3,520 + 25% of AAI over $16,000.
$20,101 to $24,200......................... $4,545 + 29% of AAI over $20,100.
$24,201 to $28,300......................... $5,734 + 34% of AAI over $24,200.
$28,301 to $32,300......................... $7,128 + 40% of AAI over $28,300.
$32,301 or more............................ $8,728 + 47% of AAI over $32,300.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contribution for an independent student with dependents other
than a spouse is computed according to the following schedule:
[[Page 52423]]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If AAI is Then the Contribution is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than -$3,409.......................... -$750
-$3,409 to $16,000......................... 22% of AAI
$16,001 to $20,100......................... $3,520 + 25% of AAI over $16,000
$20,101 to $24,200......................... $4,545 + 29% of AAI over $20,100
$24,201 to $28,300......................... $5,734 + 34% of AAI over $24,200
$28,301 to $32,300......................... $7,128 + 40% of AAI over $28,300
$32,301 or more............................ $8,728 + 47% of AAI over $32,300
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Employment Expense Allowance. This allowance for employment-
related expenses--which is used for the parents of dependent students
and for married independent students--recognizes additional expenses
incurred by working spouses and single-parent households. The allowance
is based on the marginal differences in costs for a two-worker family
compared to a one-worker family. The items covered by these additional
expenses are: Food away from home, apparel, transportation, and
household furnishings and operations.
The employment expense allowance for parents of dependent students,
married independent students without dependents other than a spouse,
and independent students with dependents other than a spouse is the
lesser of $4,000 or 35 percent of earned income.
6. Allowance for State and Other Taxes. The allowance for State and
other taxes protects a portion of parents' and students' incomes from
being considered available for postsecondary educational expenses.
There are four categories for State and other taxes, one each for
parents of dependent students, independent students with dependents
other than a spouse, dependent students, and independent students
without dependents other than a spouse. Section 478(g) of the HEA
directs the Secretary to update the tables for State and other taxes
after reviewing the Statistics of Income file data maintained by the
Internal Revenue Service.
