SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ABC
Control Rule Working Group will meet
to discuss and finalize a draft of the
acceptable biological catch (ABC)
control rule being developed. The
discussion will include completion of a
table of dimensions, tiers within
dimensions, and points for use in
developing the appropriate probability
of overfishing to use for stocks that have
adequate data to use the P-star approach
to determining ABC. For data-poor
stocks, those with inadequate data to
apply the P-star approach, the Group
will complete development of a
decision tree of dimensions and tiers
within dimensions to use in selecting an
appropriate alternative approach to
setting ABC that makes the best use of
the available data. For each of the
methods, the Group will select stocks to
use as case studies in applying the
method. The Group will also discuss
what advice it can provide to the
Council on setting a minimum stock
threshold below which harvest will not
be allowed.
