Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 174 / Friday, September 7, 2012 / Notices
The California Dungeness crab subloan of the Pacific Coast Groundfish
Capacity Reduction (Buyback) loan in
the amount of $2,334,334.20 will be
repaid in full upon receipt of buyback
fees on landings through June 30, 2012.
NMFS has received $3,446,217.69 to
repay the principal and interest on this
sub-loan since fee collection began
September 8, 2005. Buyback fees in the
California Dungeness crab fishery
increased rapidly in December 2011
through March 2012 which reduced the
$1 million balance on the loan in a short
period of time resulting in early loan
repayment. Therefore, these buyback
loan fees will no longer be collected in
the California Dungeness crab fishery.
Based on buyback fees received to
date, landings after June 30, 2012 will
not be subject to the buyback fee.
Buyback fees not yet forwarded to
NMFS for California Dungeness crab
landings through June 30, 2012 should
be forwarded to NMFS immediately.
Any overpayment of buyback fees
submitted to NMFS will be refunded on
a pro-rata basis to the fish buyers/
processors based upon best available
fish ticket landings data. The fish
buyers/processors should return excess
buyback fees collected to the harvesters,
including buyback fees collected but not
yet remitted to NMFS for landings after
June 30, 2012. Any discrepancies in fees
owed and fees paid must be resolved
immediately. After the sub-loan is
closed, no further adjustments to fees
paid and fees received can be made.
Fish dealers whose fees for 2012 were
not yet due as they have accumulated
less than $100 in fees should forward
their fees at this time for landings
through June 30, 2012.
Dated: August 31, 2012.
Cherish Johnson,
Acting Director, Office of Management and
Budget, National Marine Fisheries Service.
