On May 16, 2012, we published a
notice announcing that the Proposed
Plan was available for public review and
comment (77 FR 28855). Comments
were due by July 16, 2012. On June 22,
2012, we received a letter from the
Pacific Fisheries Management Council
(Council) requesting an extension of the
public comment period. The Council
noted that the comment period
precluded the opportunity for their
advisory bodies and staff to review the
Proposed Plan and develop comments
for approval at the September 2012
Council meeting. The Council is a
valued partner in planning and
implementing recovery for West Coast
salmon and steelhead. To afford the
Council sufficient opportunity to review
the Proposed Plan and provide
comments through their typical
processes, we are reopening the
comment period for 30 days. New
comments will be due by October 9,
2012.
For background information on the
development, content, and expected use
of the Plan, please refer to the original
notice of availability for public
comment (77 FR 28855; May 16, 2012)

Public Comments Solicited
We are soliciting written comments
on the Proposed Plan. All substantive
comments received by the date specified

ADDRESSES:
On
November 16, 2004, NMFS published a
Federal Register document (69 FR
67100) proposing regulations to
implement an industry fee system for
repaying the reduction loan. The final
rule was published July 13, 2005 (70 FR
40225) and fee collection began on
September 8, 2005. Interested persons
should review these for further program

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.
