natural resources and services of the
site. As a result of this incident, injuries
to the site’s natural resources and their
services were observed and
documented. Therefore, the Trustees
have jurisdiction to pursue restoration
under the OPA.
Determination to Conduct Restoration
Planning. The NRDA regulations under
OPA, provide that the Trustees are to
prepare a Notice if they determine
certain conditions have been met, and if
they decide to quantify the injuries to
natural resources and to develop a
restoration plan. Accordingly, the
Trustees have determined, pursuant to
15 CFR 990.42(a), that:
1. As stated above, injuries have
resulted from the incident on May 18,
2011.
2. Response actions did not address
all injuries resulting from the incident
to the extent that restoration would not
be necessary. Although response actions
were initiated soon after the spill, the
nature of the incident (fire, oil spill, and
physical disturbance) and the sensitivity
of the environment precluded the
complete prevention of injuries to
natural resources. Injured natural
resources may return to baseline, but
interim losses of services provided by
these natural resources have occurred,
and will continue until resources return
to baseline health/condition.
3. Feasible primary and compensatory
restoration actions exist to address
injuries and lost human uses resulting
from the incident. In preparation for
restoration planning, the Trustees have
begun to compile a list of restoration
projects that could potentially be
implemented to compensate for interim
losses resulting from the incident. All
potential restoration sites would be
located within the bounds of NBVC
Point Mugu and would involve
construction projects to enhance the
services of existing wetlands.
The Trustees have the tools and
procedures to evaluate the injuries and
define the appropriate type and scale of
restoration for the injured natural
resources. Among the available
procedures are computer modeled
injury assessments; field and laboratory
study of geology and sediment, plants,
wildlife, water quality, hydrologic
resources; as well as additional
literature searches. Appropriate

procedures such as these will be used to
determine the extent of injury to natural
resources and their services, and Habitat
Equivalency Analysis will be used to
determine the appropriate
compensation for those injuries.
During the restoration planning
phase, the Trustees will evaluate
potential projects, determine the scale of
restoration actions needed to make the
environment and the public whole, and
release a draft Damage Assessment and
Restoration Plan for public review and
comment.
Administrative Record. The Trustees
have opened an Administrative Record
(Record) in compliance with 15 CFR
990.45. The Record will include
documents considered by the Trustees
during the preassessment, assessment,
and restoration planning phases of the
NRDA performed in connection with
the crash. The Record will be
augmented with additional information
over the course of the NRDA process.
The Record is available in accordance

Section
455(b) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended (HEA) (20 U.S.C.
1087e(b)), provides formulas for
determining the interest rates charged to
borrowers for loans made under the
Direct Loan Program including: Federal
Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans (Direct
Subsidized Loans); Federal Direct
Unsubsidized Stafford Loans (Direct
Unsubsidized Loans); Federal Direct
PLUS Loans (Direct PLUS Loans); and
Federal Direct Consolidation Loans
(Direct Consolidation Loans).
Direct Subsidized Loans, Direct
Unsubsidized Loans, and Direct PLUS
Loans (collectively, Direct Loans) first
disbursed on or after July 1, 2013, have
a fixed interest rate that is calculated
based on the high yield of the 10-year
Treasury notes auctioned at the final
auction held before June 1 of each year,
plus a statutory add-on percentage (a
‘‘margin’’). Therefore, while the interest
rate determination for new loans will be
different from year to year, each of these
loans will have a fixed interest rate for
the life of the loan. In each case the
calculated rate is capped by a maximum
interest rate.
The following chart contains specific
information on the calculation of the
interest rates for Direct Loans first
disbursed on or after July 1, 2015, but
before July 1, 2016. We publish a
separate notice containing the interest
rates for Direct Loans that were made in
prior years.
