I. Background
Sections 312(b)–(e) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1861a(b)
through (e)) generally authorizes fishing
capacity reduction programs. In
particular, section 312(d) authorizes
industry fee systems for repaying
reduction loans which finance
reduction program costs.
Subpart L of 50 CFR part 600 is the
framework rule generally implementing
section 312(b)–(e).
Sections 1111 and 1112 of the
Merchant Marine Act, 1936 (46 App.
U.S.C. 1279f and 1279g) generally
authorizes reduction loans.
Enacted on December 8, 2004, section
219, Title II, of FY 2005 Appropriations
Act, Public Law 104–447 (Act)
authorizes a fishing capacity reduction
program implementing capacity
reduction plans submitted to NMFS by
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
catcher processor subsectors of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
(‘‘BSAI’’) non-pollock groundfish
fishery (‘‘reduction fishery’’) as set forth
in the Act.
The longline catcher processor
subsector (the ‘‘Longline Subsector’’) is
among the catcher processor subsectors
eligible to submit to NMFS a capacity
reduction plan under the terms of the
Act.
The longline subsector non-pollock
groundfish reduction program’s
objective was to reduce the number of
vessels and permits endorsed for
longline subsector of the non-pollock
groundfish fishery.
All post-reduction fish landings from
the reduction fishery are subject to the
longline subsector non-pollock
groundfish program’s fee.
NMFS proposed the implementing
notice on August 11, 2006 (71 FR
46364), and published the final notice
on September 29, 2006 (71 FR 57696).
NMFS allocated the $35,000,000
reduction loan to the reduction fishery
and is repayable by fees from the
fishery.
NMFS published in the Federal
Register on September 24, 2007 (72 FR
54219), the final rule to implement the
industry fee system for repaying the
non-pollock groundfish program’s
reduction loan and established October
24, 2007, as the effective date when fee
collection and loan repayment began.
The regulations implementing the
program are located at § 600.1012 of 50
CFR part 600’s subpart M.
NMFS published in the Federal
Register on November 2, 2009 (74 FR
56592), a notice to decrease the fee rate
to .016 per pound effective January 1,
2010. Then, on November 12, 2010 (75
FR 69401), a notice to decrease the fee
rate to $0.015 per pound, effective
January 1, 2011.
II. Purpose
The purpose of this notice is to adjust,
in accordance with the framework rule’s
§ 600.1013(b), the fee rate for the
reduction fishery. Section 600.1013(b)
directs NMFS to recalculate the fee rate
that will be reasonably necessary to
ensure reduction loan repayment within
the specified 30 year term.
NMFS has determined for the
reduction fishery that the current fee
rate of $0.015 per pound is more than
needed to service the loan. Therefore,
NMFS is decreasing the fee rate to
$0.0145 per pound which NMFS has
determined is sufficient to ensure timely
loan repayment.

III. Notice
The new fee rate for the non-pollock
Groundfish fishery will begin on
January 1, 2012.
From and after this date, all subsector
members paying fees on the non-pollock
groundfish fishery shall begin paying
non-pollock groundfish fishery program
fees at the revised rate.
Fee collection and submission shall
follow previously established methods
in § 600.1013 of the framework rule and
in the final fee rule published in the
Federal Register on September 24, 2007
(72 FR 54219).
Authority
The authority for this action is Public
Law 108–447, 16 U.S.C. 1861a (b–e),
and 50 CFR 600.1000 et seq.

Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) is seeking a
three-year clearance for a new survey
data collection for the College
Affordability and Transparency List
Explanation Form (CATEF). The
collection of this information is
necessary pursuant to the Higher
Education Opportunity Act (HEOA)
Section 111, Part C (20 U.S.C. 1015a)
with the goal of increasing transparency
of college tuition prices for consumers.
The clearance should start with the
2011–12 collection year and extend
through the 2012–13 and 2013–14
collections. Part C of Section 111 of
HEOA included provisions for
improved transparency in college
tuition for consumers. In response to
these provisions, the Department of
Education created The College
Affordability and Transparency Center

(CATC) which can be accessed through
College Navigator. The CATC includes
information for students, parents, and
policymakers about college costs at
America’s colleges and universities. The
CATC also includes several lists of
institutions based on the tuition and
fees and/or net prices (the price of
attendance after considering all grant
and scholarship aid) charged to
students, including a list of institutions
that are in the five percent of
institutions in their institutional sector
that have the highest increases,
expressed as a percentage change, over
the three-year time period for which the
most recent data are available. The
clearance being requested is to survey
the institutions on this list using the
College Affordability and Transparency
Explanation Form to collect follow-up
information. The lists appearing in
CATC are generated using data collected
by NCES through the Integrated
Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS). IPEDS is a mandatory data
collection for institutions that
participate in or are applicants for
participation in any federal student
financial aid program authorized by
Title IV of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (20 USC 1094,
Section 487(a)(17) and 34 CFR
668.14(b)(19)). The additional
information to be collected will be used
to write a summary report for Congress
which will also be posted on the College
Navigator Web site. The report will
summarize the general and sector
specific findings from the CATEF using
descriptive statistics. The main cost
areas showing the highest increases will
be identified using the percent change
information provided by institutions.
The most commonly reported plans to
reduce the increases in those cost
increases will also be indicated. Finally,
the extent to which institutions
participate in setting tuition and fees
and net prices for students will be
described and the agencies outside of
the institutions that decide those
student charges will be identified.

Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is
seeking a three-year clearance for a new survey data collection for the
College Affordability and Transparency List Explanation Form (CATEF).
The collection of this information is necessary pursuant to the Higher
Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) Section 111, Part C (20 U.S.C. 1015a)
with the goal of increasing transparency of college tuition prices for
consumers. The clearance should start with the 2011-12 collection year
and extend through the 2012-13 and 2013-14 collections. Part C of
Section 111 of HEOA included provisions for improved transparency in
college tuition for consumers. In response to these provisions, the
Department of Education created The College Affordability and
Transparency Center (CATC) which can be accessed through College
Navigator. The CATC includes information for students, parents, and
policymakers about college costs at America's colleges and
universities. The CATC also includes several lists of institutions
based on the tuition and fees and/or net prices (the price of

increases, expressed as a percentage change, over the three-year time

being requested is to survey the institutions on this list using the
College Affordability and Transparency Explanation Form to collect
follow-up information. The lists appearing in CATC are generated using
data collected by NCES through the Integrated Postsecondary Education
