Workshop is a data report that compiles
and evaluates potential datasets and
recommends which datasets are
appropriate for assessment analyses.
The product of the Assessment Process
is a stock assessment report that
describes the fisheries, evaluates the
status of the stock, estimates biological
benchmarks, projects future population
conditions, and recommends research
and monitoring needs. The assessment
is independently peer reviewed at the
Review Workshop. The product of the
Review Workshop is a Summary
documenting panel opinions regarding
the strengths and weaknesses of the
stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South

constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of fee rate adjustment.
AGENCY:
NMFS issues this notice to
inform the public that there will be a
decrease of the fee rate required to repay
the reduction loan financing the nonpollock groundfish fishing capacity
reduction program. Effective January 1,
2023, NMFS is decreasing the Loan A
fee rate to $0.020 per pound to ensure
timely repayment of the loan. The fee
rate for Loan B will remain unchanged
at $0.001 per pound. The decreased fee
rate is due to the 15 percent increase in
non-pollock groundfish Total Allowable
Catch (TAC) for 2023 since the fee rate
was raised in 2021.
DATES: The non-pollock groundfish
program fee rate decrease will begin
with landings on January 1, 2023. The
first due date for fee payments with the
decreased rate will be February 15,
2023.

reduction programs. In particular,
section 312(d) authorizes industry fee
systems for repaying reduction loans
which finance reduction program costs.
Subpart L of 50 CFR part 600 is the
framework rule generally implementing
section 312(b)–(e). Sections 1111 and
1112 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936
(46 App. U.S.C. 1279f and 1279g)
generally authorize reduction loans.
Enacted on December 8, 2004, section
219, Title II, of FY 2005 Appropriations
Act, Public Law 104–447 (Act)
authorizes a fishing capacity reduction
program implementing capacity
reduction plans submitted to NMFS by
catcher processor subsectors of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI)
non-pollock groundfish fishery
(reduction fishery) as set forth in the
Act.
The longline catcher processor
subsector (Longline Subsector) is among
the catcher processor subsectors eligible
to submit to NMFS a capacity reduction
plan under the terms of the Act. The
longline subsector non-pollock
groundfish reduction program’s
objective was to reduce the number of
vessels and permits endorsed for
longline subsector of the non-pollock
groundfish fishery. All post-reduction
fish landings from the reduction fishery
are subject to the longline subsector
non-pollock groundfish program’s fee.
NMFS proposed the implementing
notice on August 11, 2006 (71 FR
46364), and published the final notice
on September 29, 2006 (71 FR 57696).
NMFS allocated the $35,000,000
reduction loan (A Loan) to the reduction
fishery and this loan is repayable by fees
from the fishery.
On September 24, 2007, NMFS
published in the Federal Register (72
FR 54219), the final rule to implement
the industry fee system for repaying the
non-pollock groundfish program’s
reduction loan and established October
24, 2007, as the effective date when fee
collection and loan repayment began.
The regulations implementing the
program are located at § 600.1012.
NMFS published a final rule to
implement a second $2,700,000
reduction loan (B Loan) for this fishery
in the Federal Register on September
24, 2012 (77 FR 58775). The loan was
disbursed December 18, 2012 with fee
collection of $0.001 per pound to begin
January 1, 2013. This fee is in addition
to the A Loan fee.
Purpose
The purpose of this notice is to adjust
the fee rate for the reduction fishery in
accordance with the framework rule’s
§ 600.1013(b). Section 600.1013(b)
directs NMFS to recalculate the fee rate
