the RCR. The RCR permit holder is
responsible for submitting this payment
to NMFS on or before July 31, in the
year following the crab fishing year in
which landings of crab were made.
The dollar amount of the fee due is
determined by multiplying the fee
percentage (not to exceed 3 percent) by
the ex-vessel value of crab debited from
the allocation. Specific details on the
Program’s cost recovery provision may
be found in the implementing
regulations at 50 CFR 680.44.

Fee Percentage
SUMMARY:
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Each year, NMFS calculates and
publishes in the Federal Register the fee
percentage according to the factors and
methodology described at § 680.44(c)(2).
The formula for determining the fee
percentage is the ‘‘direct program costs’’
divided by ‘‘value of the fishery,’’ where
‘‘direct program costs’’ are the direct
program costs for the Program for the
previous fiscal year, and ‘‘value of the
fishery’’ is the ex-vessel value of the
catch subject to the crab cost recovery
fee liability for the current year. Fee
collections for any given year may be
less than, or greater than, the actual
costs and fishery value for that year,
because, by regulation, the fee
percentage is established in the first
quarter of a crab fishery year based on
the fishery value and the costs of the
prior year.
Based upon the fee percentage
formula described above, the estimated
percentage of costs to value for the
2017/2018 fishery was 1.85 percent.
Therefore, the fee percentage will be
1.85 percent for the 2018/2019 crab
fishing year. This is an increase of 0.28
percent from the 2017/2018 fee
percentage of 1.57 percent (81 FR 32329,
July 13, 2017). Although direct program
costs for managing the fishery increased
by 2.9 percent from 2016/2017 to 2017/
2018, the increase in the fee percentage
was more affected by a $24.0 million
decrease in the value of the crab
harvested under the Program. Similar to
previous years, the largest direct
program costs are incurred by the
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
and the NOAA Office of Law
Enforcement.
