Fishing Capacity Reduction Program 

for the Longline Catcher Processor 

Subsector of the Bering Sea/Aleutian 

Islands (BSAI) Non-Pollock Groundfish 

Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of BSAI Non-Pollock 

Groundfish Longline Catcher Processor 

Subsector reduction payment tender. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this notice to 

inform the public about tendering 

reduction payments under the longline 

catcher processor subsector of the 

Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) nonpollock groundfish fishery. The Freezer 

Longline Conservation Cooperative 

(FLCC) conducted the offer and 

selection process, submitted the 

reduction plan, and accepted four offers 

to remove groundfish license limitation 

program (LLP) licenses. A successful 

referendum approved the reduction loan 

repayment fees of $35 million. 

Accordingly, NMFS is preparing to 

tender reduction payments to accepted 

offerors. 

DATES: The public has until May 29, 

2007 to inform NMFS of any holding, 

owning, or retaining claims that conflict 

with the representations of offers as 

presented by the FLCC. 

ADDRESSES: Send questions about this 

notice to Leo Erwin, Chief, Financial 

Services Division, National Marine 

Fisheries Service, 1315 East-West 

Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910–

3282. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leo 

Erwin, (301) 713–2390. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 219(e) of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act of 2005 established 

the BSAI non-pollock groundfish 

longline catcher processor subsector 

fishing capacity reduction program 

(program). The program was 

implemented after the proposed rule 

was published in the Federal Register 

on August 11, 2006 (71 FR 46364) and 

the final rule on September 29, 2006 (71 

FR 57696). Persons wanting further 

program details should refer to these 

rules. 

The program’s objectives include 

promoting sustainable fishery 

management and maximum sustained 

reduction of fishing capacity from the 

longline catcher processor subsector at 

the least cost. This is a voluntary 

program in which, in return for 

reduction payments, offerors 

permanently relinquish their fishing 

licenses, surrender the fishing histories 

upon which those licenses’ issuance 

were based, and permanently withdraw 

vessels from fishing. 

NMFS finances the program’s $35 

million cost, which post-reduction BSAI 

non-pollock groundfish longline catcher 

processors repay over a 30–year term. 

The fee amount, expressed in cents per 

pound rounded up to the next one-tenth 

of a cent, will be based upon the annual 

principal and interest due on the loan 

and could be up to 5 percent of longline 

subsector BSAI Pacific cod landings. In 

the event that the total principal and 

interest due exceeds 5 percent of the exvessel Pacific cod revenues, an 

additional fee of one penny per pound 

will be assessed for pollock, arrowtooth 

flounder, Greenland turbot, skate, 

yellowfin sole and rock sole. 

The FLCC received member offers and 

subsequently voted to accept four offers. 

The FLCC used the reduction contracts 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 80 / Thursday, April 26, 2007 / Notices 20837 

NMFS published in the Federal Register 

(71 FR 57701). The FLCC submitted a 

fishing capacity reduction plan (plan) 

subsequently approved by NMFS. A 

referendum concerning the fees 

necessary for repayment of the $35 

million loan followed the offer and 

acceptance process. Approval of the 

industry fee system required at least 

two-thirds of the votes cast in the 

referendum to be in favor before the 

program could be implemented and 

payment tendered. 

II. Present Status 

NMFS mailed ballots to 39 qualified 

referendum voters on March 21, 2007, 

after approving the plan. The voting 

period opened on March 21, 2007, and 

closed on April 6, 2007. NMFS received 

34 timely and valid votes. All of the 

votes approved the fees. This exceeded 

the two-thirds minimum required for 

industry fee system approval. 

Consequently, this referendum was 

successful and approved the industry 

fee system. Accordingly, the reduction 

contracts are in full force and effect and 

NMFS is now preparing to tender and 

disburse reduction payments to selected 

offerors. 

III. Purpose 

NMFS publishes this notification to 

inform the public before tendering 

reduction payments to the four accepted 

offers. NMFS will tender reduction 

payments on May 29, 2007. When 

NMFS tenders a reduction payment to a 

selected offeror, the selected offeror 

must permanently stop all further 

fishing with each reduction license and 

reduction privilege vessel the offeror 

has relinquished. NMFS will then: 

(a) Permanently revoke the groundfish 

reduction permit and any other 

reduction permit(s); 

(b) Notify the National Vessel 

Documentation Center to permanently 

revoke the reduction privilege vessel’s 

fisheries trade endorsement; 

(c) Notify the U.S. Maritime 

Administration to make the reduction 

privilege vessel permanently ineligible 

for the approval of requests to place the 

vessel under a foreign country’s 

authority; and 

(d) Record that the reduction fishing 

history represented by any documented 

harvest fishing history accrued on, 

under, or as a result of the operation of 

the reduction privilege vessel and/or 

reduction fishing vessel, the groundfish 

reduction permit, and the reduction 

permit(s) which could ever qualify the 

offeror for any future limited access 

fishing license, fishing permit, or any 

other harvesting privilege of any kind 

shall never again be available to anyone 

for any fisheries purpose. 

The selected offeror has, in 

accordance with the reduction contract 

agreed to notify all creditors or other 

parties with interests in the reduction 

privilege vessel and/or any of the 

reduction permit(s) specified in the 

reduction contract that the selected 

offeror has entered into the reduction 

contract with respect to such vessel and 

permit(s). 

This notice provides the public 

(including creditors or other parties) 30 

days from May 29, 2007 to advise NMFS 

in writing of any holding, owning, or 

retaining claims that conflict with the 

representations of offers as presented by 

the FLCC.

Licenses

(a) The names of the selected offerors; 

(b) The names and official numbers of
