Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 20, 2009 / Notices
overfishing through the use of ACL and
AM. Federal FMPs must establish
mechanisms for ACL and AM by 2010
for stocks subject to overfishing and by
2011 for all others, with the exceptions
of stocks managed under an
international agreement or stocks with a
life cycle of approximately one year.
On January 16, 2009, NMFS
published amended guidelines for
National Standard 1 (NS1) of the MSA
to provide guidance on how to comply
with new ACL and AM requirements.
The NS1 guidelines include
recommendations for establishing
several related reference points to
ensure scientific and management
uncertainty are accounted for when
management measures are established.
The purpose of this meeting is to
develop alternatives to address those
issues, and to plan analyses that will be
used to evaluate those alternatives in a
National Environmental Policy Act
analysis.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may
come before the SAC for discussion,
those issues may not be the subject of
formal action during this meeting.
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 MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, provided the public
has been notified of the intent to take
final action to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is physically accessible
to people with disabilities. Requests for
sign language interpretation or other
