SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
primary purpose of the GMT webinar is
to receive a presentation from NMFS on
the analysis of trawl gear regulation
changes, which are designed to reflect
the individual accountability provided
by the trawl catch share program. In
March 2016, the Council recommended:
Allowing vessels to carry and use
multiple trawl gears types on a single

trip (fish caught using different gears
must be stowed separately); eliminating
minimum mesh size regulations for the
codend and body of the net; eliminating
restrictions on codends; eliminating
chafing gear restrictions; allowing a new
haul to be brought onboard and dumped
before all catch from previous haul has
been stowed; and changing the selective
flatfish trawl gear definition and
restrictions. The selective flatfish trawl
gear definition would be changed to
allow the use of four seams nets.
Furthermore, the restriction that
requires use of selective flatfish trawl
gear shoreward of the Rockfish
Conservation Area in the area north of
40°10′ N. latitude would be replaced by
a restriction that requires use of small
footrope trawl in that area. At its June
2016 meeting, the Pacific Council added
to this list a recommendation to allow
a vessel to fish in multiple management
areas on the same trip and assign catch
to management areas in proportion to
the vessel’s effort in each area on that
trip. A detailed agenda for the webinar
will be available on the Pacific
Council’s Web site prior to the meeting.
The GMT may also address other
assignments relating to groundfish
management. No management actions
will be decided by the GMT. The GMT’s
task will be to assist in the analysis as
necessary. The GMT will provide a
report summarizing the expected tasks
and workload to the Pacific Council its
June 2017 meeting.
Although nonemergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may be
discussed, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during these
meetings. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that
require emergency action under section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
provided the public has been notified of
the intent to take final action to address
the emergency.

technical support, and training, and
other associated support equipment and
services. The total estimated cost is $80
million.
This proposed sale will enhance the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States by
helping to improve the security of a
NATO ally that has been, and continues
to be, an important force for political
stability and economic progress. Greece
intends to use these defense articles and
services to modernize its armed forces
by increasing its rotary-wing transport
capability. This will contribute to the
Greek military’s goal to upgrade its
capability while further enhancing
greater interoperability between Greece,
the U.S. and other allies.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support does not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
There is no principal contractor as the
systems will be coming from U.S. Army
stocks. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to travel to
Greece for equipment de-processing/
fielding, system checkout and new
equipment training.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
