SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning
Monday, September 27, 2007, the
Ecosystem SSC, along with invited
ecosystem modeling experts and other
workshop attendees, will continue the
process begun in an earlier workshop of
evaluating the feasibility of using an
ecosystem modeling approach to
address fishery management related
issues. The group will document data
sources used in the Ecopath with
Ecosim model of the Gulf of Mexico,
and they will identify uncertainties
associated with the model. The group
will also discuss with Southeast
Fisheries Science Center assessment
biologists differences between
ecosystem modeling and single species
stock assessments and, if possible,
resolve contradictory results between
single species assessments and
ecosystem modeling results. The group
will also begin developing a proposal
for integrating ecosystem modeling
activities into the process for evaluating
potential management measures.
On Wednesday, September 26, the
Ecosystem SSC will meet jointly with
the Joint Standing and Special Reef Fish
SSC to summarize the ecosystem
modeling process, preliminary results,
and differences with single species
assessment results. The Joint Standing
and Special Reef Fish SSC will review
and comment on the adequacy of the
science, and may provide other
comments as it deems appropriate.
Beginning Thursday, September 27,
the Joint Standing and Special Reef Fish
SSC will meet with the Reef Fish AP to
hear presentations on Public Hearing
Draft Reef Fish Amendment 30A
(greater amberjack/gray tilefish), an
options paper for Reef Fish Amendment
30B (red grouper/gag), and a scoping
document for Reef Fish Amendment 29
(grouper/tilefish limited access). The
Joint Standing and Special Reef Fish
Scientific SSC and the Reef Fish
Advisory Panel (AP) will then meet
separately - each will discuss the
Amendment 30A public hearing draft,
the Amendment 30B options paper, and
the Amendment 29 scoping document,
and make recommendations to the
Council. Each will also discuss possible
adjustments to the deep-water grouper
and tilefish total allowable catches
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(TACs) and, time permitting, will
review the proposed goliath grouper
cooperative research program. The Reef
Fish AP will also elect a new Chair and
Vice-chair.
Copies of the agendas and other
related materials can be obtained by
calling (813) 348–1630.
Although other non-emergency issues
not on the agendas may come before the
SSC’s and AP’s for discussion, in
accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during these meetings. Actions of
the SSC will be restricted to those issues
specifically identified in the agendas
and any issues arising after publication
of this notice that require emergency
action under Section 305(c) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the
public has been notified of the Council’s
intent to take action to address the
emergency.
Special Accommodations

accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
