ACTION: Notice of loan repayment.
AGENCY:
NMFS issues this notice to
inform interested parties that the
Washington pink shrimp sub-loan in the
fishing capacity reduction program for
the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery has
been repaid. Therefore, buyback fee
collections on Washington pink shrimp
will cease for all landings after October
31, 2013.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before 5 p.m. EST December 9, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Send comments about this
notice to Paul Marx, Chief, Financial
Services Division, NMFS, Attn:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michael A. Sturtevant at (301) 427–8799
or Michael.A.Sturtevant@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
details.
The Washington pink shrimp subloan of the Pacific Coast Groundfish
Capacity Reduction (Buyback) loan in
the amount of $259,399.63 will be
repaid in full upon receipt of buyback
fees on landings through October 31,
2013. NMFS has received $402,528.12
to repay the principal and interest on
this sub-loan since fee collection began
September 8, 2005. Buyback fees in the
Washington pink shrimp fishery
increased rapidly in the 2012 and 2013
seasons which reduced the 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
Washington pink shrimp fishery.
Based on buyback fees received to
date, landings after October 31, 2013
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
will not be subject to the buyback fee.
Buyback fees not yet forwarded to
NMFS for Washington pink shrimp
landings through October 31, 2013
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 October 31, 2013. 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 2013 were not yet due as
they have accumulated less than $100 in
fees should forward their fees at this
time for landings through October 31,
2013.
