Arms Sales Notification, 79475-79477 [2020-27188]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 238 / Thursday, December 10, 2020 / Notices jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES percentage by sector equals the lower of 3 percent or direct program costs (DPC) for that sector divided by total ex-vessel value (V) for that sector multiplied by 100 (Fee percentage = the lower of 3 percent or (DPC/V) × 100). ‘DPC,’ as defined in the regulations at § 660.115(b)(1)(i), are the actual incremental costs for the previous fiscal year directly related to the management, data collection and analysis, and enforcement of each program (Shorebased IFQ Program, MS Co-op Program, and C/P Co-op Program). Actual incremental costs means those net costs that would not have been incurred but for the implementation of the Groundfish Trawl Rationalization Program, including both increased costs for new requirements of the program and reduced costs resulting from any program efficiencies or adjustments to costs from previous years. ‘‘V’’, as specified at § 660.115(b)(1)(ii), is the total ex-vessel value, as defined at § 660.111, for each sector from the previous calendar year. To determine the ex-vessel value for the Shorebased IFQ Program, NMFS used the ex-vessel value for calendar year 2019 as reported in the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) from Shorebased IFQ electronic fish tickets as this was the most recent complete set of data. To determine the ex-vessel value for the MS Co-op Program and the C/P Co-op Program, NMFS used the retained catch estimates (weight) for each sector as reported in the North Pacific Observer Program database multiplied by the average price of Pacific whiting as reported in PacFIN from the Shorebased IFQ sector in 2019. NMFS does not collect pricing data for these two sectors so it uses the Shorebased IFQ sector price data as a proxy. The fee calculations for the 2021 fee percentages are described below. IFQ Program: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Dec 09, 2020 Jkt 253001 • 2.5 percent = the lower of 3 percent or ($1,482,104.69/$60,388,316.00) × 100. MS Co-op Program: • 1.3 percent = the lower of 3 percent or ($137,542.72/$10,625,816.30) × 100. C/P Co-op Program: • 0.2 percent = the lower of 3 percent or ($44,255.85/$23,703,577.63) × 100. MS Average Pricing MS pricing is the average price per pound that the C/P Co-op Program will use to determine the fee amount due for that sector. In the absence of MS price data, NMFS calculates MS pricing using Pacific whiting price data from the Shorebased IFQ Program in PacFIN. The C/P sector value (V) is calculated by multiplying the retained catch estimates (weight) of Pacific whiting harvested by the vessel registered to a C/P-endorsed limited entry trawl permit by the MS pricing. NMFS has calculated the 2021 MS pricing to be used as a proxy by the CP Co-op Program as: $0.09/lb for Pacific whiting. Cost recovery fees are submitted to NMFS by fish buyers via Pay.gov (https://www.pay.gov/). Fees are only accepted in Pay.gov by credit/debit card or bank transfers. Cash or checks cannot be accepted. Fish buyers registered with Pay.gov can login in the upper righthand corner of the screen. Fish buyers not registered with Pay.gov can go to the cost recovery forms directly from the website below. The links to the Pay.gov forms for each program (IFQ, MS, or C/ P) are listed below: IFQ: https://www.pay.gov/public/ form/start/58062865; MS: https://www.pay.gov/public/ form/start/58378422; and C/P: https://www.pay.gov/public/ form/start/58102817. As stated in the preamble to the cost recovery proposed and final rules, in the spring of each year, NMFS will release an annual report documenting the PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79475 details and data used for the fee percentage calculations.
