SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 21, 1999, NMFS published a
Federal Register document (64 FR
71396) proposing regulations to
implement an industry fee system for
repaying the reduction loan. The final
rule was effective and fees were first
due on February 10, 2000 (65 FR 5278,
February 3, 2000). Interested persons
should review these for further program
details.
The BSAI AFA Pollock Capacity
Reduction (Buyback) loan in the amount
of $75,000,000 will be repaid in full
upon receipt of buyback fees on
landings through February 29, 2020.
Based on buyback fees received to date,
landings after February 29, 2020, will
not be subject to the buyback fee.
Therefore, buyback loan fees will no
longer be collected in the BS/AI Pollock
Fishery on future landings.
Buyback fees not yet forwarded to
NMFS for AFA Pollock landings
through February 29, 2020, should be
forwarded to NMFS immediately. Any
overpayment of buyback fees submitted
to NMFS will be refunded on a pro-rata
basis based upon best available fish
ticket landings data. Any discrepancies
in fees owed and fees paid must be
resolved immediately. After the subloan is closed, no further adjustments to
fees paid and fees received can be made.
