recovery for the Amendment 80
Program, the American Fisheries Act
(AFA) Program, the Aleutian Islands
Pollock (AIP) Program, and the Western
Alaska Community Development Quota
(CDQ) groundfish and halibut Programs.
The fee percentage for 2016 is 0.37
percent for the Amendment 80 Program,
0.10 percent for the AFA inshore
cooperatives, 0.10 percent for the AFA
catcher/processor sector, 0.17 percent
for the AFA mothership cooperative, 0
percent for the AIP program, and 0.29
percent for the CDQ groundfish and
halibut Programs. This action is
intended to provide the 2016 standard
prices and fee percentages to calculate
the required payment for cost recovery
fees due by December 31, 2016.
DATES: Effective November 28, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl
Greene, Fee Coordinator, 907–586–7105.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 304(d) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act) authorizes and requires the
collection of cost recovery fees for
limited access privilege programs and
the CDQ Program. Cost recovery fees
recover the actual costs directly related
to the management, data collection, and
enforcement of the programs. Section
304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
mandates that cost recovery fees not
exceed three percent of the annual exvessel value of fish harvested by a
program subject to a cost recovery fee,
and that the fee be collected either at the
time of landing, filing of a landing
report, or sale of such fish during a
fishing season or in the last quarter of
the calendar year in which the fish is
harvested.
NMFS manages the Amendment 80
Program, AFA Program, and AIP
Program as limited access privilege
programs. On January 5, 2016, NMFS
published a final rule to implement cost
recovery for these three limited access
privilege programs and the CDQ
groundfish and halibut programs (81 FR
150). The designated representative (for
the purposes of cost recovery) for each
program is responsible for submitting
the fee payment to NMFS on or before
the due date of December 31 of the year
in which the landings were made. The
total dollar amount of the fee due is
determined by multiplying the NMFS
published fee percentage by the exvessel value of all landings under the
program made during the fishing year.
NMFS publishes this notice of the fee
percentages for the Amendment 80,
AFA, AIP, and CDQ groundfish and

halibut fisheries in the Federal Register
by December 1 each year.
Standard Prices
The fee liability is based on the exvessel value of fish harvested in each
program. For purposes of calculating
cost recovery fees, NMFS calculates a
standard ex-vessel price (standard price)
for each species. A standard price is
determined using information on
landings purchased (volume) and exvessel value paid (value). For most
groundfish species, NMFS annually
summarizes volume and value
information for landings of all fishery
species subject to cost recovery in order
to estimate a standard price for each
species. The standard prices are
described in U.S. dollars per pound for
landings made during the year. The
standard prices for all species in the
Amendment 80, AFA, AIP, and CDQ
groundfish and halibut programs are
listed in Table 1. Each landing made
under each program is multiplied by the
appropriate standard price to arrive at
an ex-vessel value for each landing.
These values are summed together to
arrive at the ex-vessel value of each
program (fishery value).
Fee Percentage
NMFS calculates the fee percentage
each year according to the factors and
methods described in Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 679.33(c)(2),
679.66(c)(2), 679.67(c)(2), and
679.95(c)(2). NMFS determines the fee
percentage that applies to landings
made during the year by dividing the
total costs directly related to the
management, data collection, and
enforcement of each program (direct
program costs) during the year by the
fishery value. NMFS captures direct
program costs through an established
accounting system that allows staff to
track labor, travel, contracts, rent, and
procurement. For 2016, the direct
program costs were tracked from
February 4, 2016 (the effective date of
the rule), to September 30, 2016 (the
end of the fiscal year). In subsequent
years, direct program costs will be
calculated based on a full fiscal year.
NMFS will provide an annual report
that summarizes direct program costs
for each of the programs in early 2017.
NMFS calculates the fishery value as
described under the section ‘‘Standard
Prices.’’
Amendment 80 Program Standard
Prices and Fee Percentage
