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: 

• 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/

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 

details and data used for the fee 

percentage calculations. Annual reports 

are available at: https://

POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Egypt—Maritime Domain Awareness 

System 

The Government of Egypt has 

requested a possible sale of a Maritime 

Domain Awareness (MDA) system that 

includes multi-site Acquisition Radars 

(fixed and mobile) with supporting 

facilities, ElectroOptical/Infrared 

Sensors (fixed, mobile, airborne), Radio 

Communications suites, Hybrid Power 

Generation Systems, Closed Circuit 

Television, Power and Data Distribution 

Units, Automatic Identification System, 

and various other surveillance and 

communications systems; and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. Equipment includes: 

thirty-four (34) Integrated Fixed Towers 

with supporting equipment; twentyeight (28) Communication Towers with 

supporting equipment; twelve (12) 

Relay Towers with supporting 

equipment; six (6) Naval Base 

Operations Rooms, two (2) regional 

Operations Centers, and one (1) 

Strategic Operation Center all with 

supporting equipment; six (6) Harbor 

Protection Systems with supporting 

equipment; Intelligent Fiber Intrusion 

Detection System; twelve (12) Vertical 

Take Off and Landing UAV with six (6) 

Ground Stations; fourteen (14) Mobile 

Maritime Surveillance Vehicles; and, 

three (3) Aerostat ISR Integrated 

Platform with supporting equipment. 

The estimated total program cost is $417 

million. 

This proposed sale will support the 

foreign policy and national security of 

the United States by helping to improve 

the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally 

country that continues to be an 

important strategic partner in the 

Middle East. 

Egypt intends to use this Maritime 

Domain Awareness system to provide 

the Egyptian Armed Forces with a 

maritime surveillance capability with 

real-time situational awareness in the 

defense of Egypt maritime boundary, 

natural resources, and ports. Egypt will 

have no difficulty absorbing this 

equipment into its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The prime contractor will be the 

Advanced Technology Systems 

Company (ATSC), McLean, VA. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require annual trips to Egypt 

involving U.S. Government and 

contractor representatives for technical 

reviews, support, and oversight for 

approximately five years. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
