Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Notices
annual renewal fee for loans made
under the Business and Industry (B&I)
Guaranteed Loan Program. Pursuant to
that authority, the Agency is
establishing the renewal fee rate at onehalf of 1 percent for the B&I Guaranteed
Loan Program. This rate will apply to all
loans obligated in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015
that are made under the B&I program.
As established in 7 CFR 4279.107(b)(1),
the amount of the fee on each
guaranteed loan will be determined by
multiplying the fee rate by the
outstanding principal loan balance as of
December 31, multiplied by the percent
of guarantee.
The Agency was authorized by the
2012 Appropriations Bill, and
subsequent Appropriation Acts, to
charge a maximum of 3 percent for its
guarantee fee for FYs 2012, 2013, and
2014. The 2015 Appropriations Act does
contain a provision to charge a
maximum of 3 percent for its guarantee
fee for FY 2015. As such, the guarantee
fee for FY 2015 will be 3 percent.
As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(a) and
4279.119(b)(4), each fiscal year, the
Agency shall establish a limit on the
maximum portion of B&I guarantee
authority available for that fiscal year
that may be used to guarantee loans
with a reduced guarantee fee or
guaranteed loans with a guarantee
percentage exceeding 80 percent.
Allowing a reduced guarantee fee or
exceeding the 80 percent guarantee on
certain B&I guaranteed loans that meet
the conditions set forth in 7 CFR
4279.107 and 4279.119 will increase the
Agency’s ability to focus guarantee
assistance on projects which the Agency
has found particularly meritorious. For
reduced guarantee fees, the borrower’s
business must support value-added
agriculture and result in farmers
benefiting financially or must be a high
impact business investment as defined
in 7 CFR 4279.155(b)(5) and be located
in rural communities that experience
long-term population decline and job
deterioration, remain persistently poor,
are experiencing trauma as a result of
natural disaster, or are experiencing
fundamental structural changes in its
economic base. For guaranteed loans
exceeding 80 percent, such projects
must qualify as a high-priority project (a
requirement of 7 CFR 4279.119(b)),
scoring at least 50 points in accordance
with 7 CFR 4279.155(b).
Not more than 12 percent of the
Agency’s quarterly apportioned B&I
guarantee authority will be reserved for
loan requests with a reduced fee, and
not more than 15 percent of the
Agency’s quarterly apportioned
guarantee authority will be reserved for
guaranteed loan requests with a

guarantee percentage exceeding 80
percent. Once the respective quarterly
limits are reached, all additional loans
for that quarter will be at the standard
fee and guarantee limits.
DATES: Effective Date: January 6, 2015.

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the

Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and

Title: Pacific Halibut Fisheries:
Charter Permits.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0592.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision
and extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 68.
Average Hours per Response:
Application for Transfer of Charter
Halibut Permit, Application for Military
Charter Permit, Application for Transfer
between IFQ and Guided Angler Fish, 2
hours each.
Burden Hours: 98.
Needs and Uses: This request is for

The Alaska Pacific Halibut Charter
Program established Federal Charter
Halibut Permits (CHPs) for operators in
the charter halibut fishery in IPHC
regulatory Areas 2C (Southeast Alaska)
and 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska). Since
February 1, 2011, all vessel operators in
Areas 2C and 3A with charter anglers
onboard catching and retaining Pacific
halibut must have a valid CHP onboard

during every charter vessel fishing trip.
CHPs must be endorsed with the
appropriate regulatory area and number
of anglers.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) implemented this program
based on recommendations by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council to
meet allocation objectives in the charter
halibut fishery. This program provides
stability in the fishery by limiting the
number of charter vessels that may
participate in Areas 2C and 3A and
decreasing the overall number of
available CHPs over time. The program
goals are to increase the value of the
resource, limit boats to qualified active
participants in the guided sport halibut
sector, and enhance economic stability
in rural coastal communities.
Revision: Charter permits and appeals
regarding charter permits are no longer
applicable and have been removed from
this collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under

Written comments and
