Needs and Uses: This request is for a
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s Coastal Ocean Program
(COP), now known as the Competitive
Research Program (CRP) under the
National Centers for Coastal Ocean
Science, provides direct financial
assistance through grants and
cooperative agreements for research
supporting the management of coastal
ecosystems and the NOAA RESTORE
Science Program (RSP). The statutory
authority for COP is Public Law 102–
567 Section 201 (Coastal Ocean
Program). NOAA was authorized to
establish and administer the Restore
Science Program, in consultation with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, by
the Resources and Ecosystems
Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities,
and Revived Economies (RESTORE) of
the Gulf States Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–
141, Section 1604). Identified in the
RESTORE Act as the Gulf Coast
Ecosystem restoration Science,
Observation, Monitoring, and
Technology Program, the Program is
commonly known as the NOAA
RESTORE Science Program. In addition
to standard government application
requirements, applicants for financial
assistance are required to submit a
project summary form, current and
pending form, and a key contacts form
for both programs. CRP recipients are
required to file annual progress reports
and a project final report using CRP
formats. The RSP are required to file
semi-annual progress reports, a final
report, and a Gantt chart showing
project milestones using RSP formats.
All of these requirements are needed for
better evaluation of proposals and
monitoring of awards.
Several revisions are being requested
for this information collection. The
approved annual and final reports for
CRP will be revised to include the
request for publication digital object
identifiers (DOIs). The RSP semi-annual
and final reports will be revised to
include end-user details. Finally, the
Key Contacts Form will be removed
from the package as the information
contained in this document can be
found in the Standard Form (SF)-424
form and Summary Title Page.
Therefore, the estimated burden hours
will be reduced by 150 hours.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Frequency: Annually, semi-annually,
and on occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

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 3 percent of the annual ex-vessel
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

67921

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
program (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 programs 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 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
programs are provided 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).
