SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
workshop will address the following
three issues: (1) Evaluate the
performance of the 40–10 harvest policy
for stocks with different life history and
stock-recruit patterns, (2) Evaluate
alternative methods to estimate proxies
for initial or unfished biomass (B0) and
the biomass that produces maximum
sustainable yield (BMSY) and provide
recommendations on their use, and (3)
Provide recommendations on the use of
priors for key assessment parameters in
stock assessment models. Parameter for
which priors could potentially be useful
include natural mortality, stock-recruit,
steepness, survey catchability, and
recruitment variability. Workshop
participants will develop guidance for
stock assessment authors and provide
recommendations for consideration by
the Council and its advisory bodies. No
management actions will be decided at
this workshop.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agendas may
be discussed, those issues may not be
the subject of formal action during these
meetings. Advisory body action will be
restricted to those issues specifically
listed in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management

notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

exceed the maximum amounts specified
below, if we conclude, during our initial
review of the application, that the
proposed goals and objectives cannot be
obtained with the specified maximum
amount.
• For an applicant who is not
currently receiving a McNair Program
grant, the maximum award amount is
$220,000 for a project that will serve a
minimum of 25 participants.
• For an applicant who is currently
receiving a McNair Program grant, the
maximum award is the greater of (a)
$220,000 or (b) an amount equal to
$9,000 multiplied by the number of
participants the applicant is proposing
to serve, not to exceed 105 percent of
the applicant’s grant award amount for
FY 2006.
Estimated Number of Awards: 180.
Note: The Department is not bound by any
estimates in this notice.
