Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Notices 487 

annual renewal fee for loans made 

under the Business and Industry (B&I) 

Guaranteed Loan Program. Pursuant to 

that authority, the Agency is 

establishing the renewal fee rate at onehalf of 1 percent for the B&I Guaranteed 

Loan Program. This rate will apply to all 

loans obligated in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 

that are made under the B&I program. 

As established in 7 CFR 4279.107(b)(1), 

the amount of the fee on each 

guaranteed loan will be determined by 

multiplying the fee rate by the 

outstanding principal loan balance as of 

December 31, multiplied by the percent 

of guarantee. 

The Agency was authorized by the 

2012 Appropriations Bill, and 

subsequent Appropriation Acts, to 

charge a maximum of 3 percent for its 

guarantee fee for FYs 2012, 2013, and 

2014. The 2015 Appropriations Act does 

contain a provision to charge a 

maximum of 3 percent for its guarantee 

fee for FY 2015. As such, the guarantee 

fee for FY 2015 will be 3 percent. 

As set forth in 7 CFR 4279.107(a) and 

4279.119(b)(4), each fiscal year, the 

Agency shall establish a limit on the 

maximum portion of B&I guarantee 

authority available for that fiscal year 

that may be used to guarantee loans 

with a reduced guarantee fee or 

guaranteed loans with a guarantee 

percentage exceeding 80 percent. 

Allowing a reduced guarantee fee or 

exceeding the 80 percent guarantee on 

certain B&I guaranteed loans that meet 

the conditions set forth in 7 CFR 

4279.107 and 4279.119 will increase the 

Agency’s ability to focus guarantee 

assistance on projects which the Agency 

has found particularly meritorious. For 

reduced guarantee fees, the borrower’s 

business must support value-added 

agriculture and result in farmers 

benefiting financially or must be a high 

impact business investment as defined 

in 7 CFR 4279.155(b)(5) and be located 

in rural communities that experience 

long-term population decline and job 

deterioration, remain persistently poor, 

are experiencing trauma as a result of 

natural disaster, or are experiencing 

fundamental structural changes in its 

economic base. For guaranteed loans 

exceeding 80 percent, such projects 

must qualify as a high-priority project (a 

requirement of 7 CFR 4279.119(b)), 

scoring at least 50 points in accordance 

with 7 CFR 4279.155(b). 

Not more than 12 percent of the 

Agency’s quarterly apportioned B&I 

guarantee authority will be reserved for 

loan requests with a reduced fee, and 

not more than 15 percent of the 

Agency’s quarterly apportioned 

guarantee authority will be reserved for 

guaranteed loan requests with a 

guarantee percentage exceeding 80 

percent. Once the respective quarterly 

limits are reached, all additional loans 

for that quarter will be at the standard 

fee and guarantee limits.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Pacific Halibut Fisheries: 

Charter Permits. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0592. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (revision 

and extension of a currently approved 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 68. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Application for Transfer of Charter 

Halibut Permit, Application for Military 

Charter Permit, Application for Transfer 

between IFQ and Guided Angler Fish, 2 

hours each. 

Burden Hours: 98. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

The Alaska Pacific Halibut Charter 

Program established Federal Charter 

Halibut Permits (CHPs) for operators in 

the charter halibut fishery in IPHC 

regulatory Areas 2C (Southeast Alaska) 

and 3A (Central Gulf of Alaska). Since 

February 1, 2011, all vessel operators in 

Areas 2C and 3A with charter anglers 

onboard catching and retaining Pacific 

halibut must have a valid CHP onboard 

during every charter vessel fishing trip. 

CHPs must be endorsed with the 

appropriate regulatory area and number 

of anglers. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) implemented this program 

based on recommendations by the North 

Pacific Fishery Management Council to 

meet allocation objectives in the charter 

halibut fishery. This program provides 

stability in the fishery by limiting the 

number of charter vessels that may 

participate in Areas 2C and 3A and 

decreasing the overall number of 

available CHPs over time. The program 

goals are to increase the value of the 

resource, limit boats to qualified active 

participants in the guided sport halibut 

sector, and enhance economic stability 

in rural coastal communities. 

Revision: Charter permits and appeals 

regarding charter permits are no longer 

applicable and have been removed from 

this collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations; individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory. 

This information collection request 

may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow 

the instructions to view Department of 

Commerce collections currently under 

review by OMB. 

Written comments and
