GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Final rule. Effective June 29, 2017. 50 CFR Part 259 Summary NMFS hereby amends the Capital Construction Fund (CCF) regulations to eliminate provisions that no longer meet the needs of CCF participants, and to simplify and clarify the regulations to better implement the purposes of the underlying statute. These amendments eliminate the minimum cost for reconstruction projects, requirements for minimum annual deposits and the requirement that any vessel acquired with CCF funds must be reconstructed, regardless of vessel condition. The new regulations also prohibit withdrawals of funds under the CCF program (program) for projects that increase harvesting capacity, unless the project is subject to a limited access system in which the fisheries management authority establishes harvesting limits.

GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Proposed rule; request for comments. NMFS invites the public to comment on this proposed rule. Comments on the proposed rule must be received by November 10, 2014. 50 CFR Part 259 Summary NMFS proposes to amend the Capital Construction Fund (CCF) regulations to eliminate provisions that no longer meet the needs of CCF participants, and to simplify and clarify the regulations to better implement the purposes of the underlying statute. These amendments would eliminate the minimum cost and maximum allowable completion time for reconstruction projects, requirements for minimum annual deposits and the requirement that any vessel acquired with CCF funds must be reconstructed, regardless of vessel condition. The new regulations would also add a restriction that the CCF program (program) would not allow withdrawals of funds for projects that increase harvesting capacity.
