SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this meeting is to address
outstanding issues within Amendment

meeting, the SMB Committee requested
that the Amendment 11 Fishery
Management Action Team (FMAT), the
SMB Advisory Panel, and the SMB
Committee meet regarding mackerel
limited access to resolve ongoing
historical participation issues. These
participation issues led the Committee
to recommend delaying adoption of
Amendment 11’s alternatives regarding
mackerel limited access. The Committee
will recommend further action pending
the results of the May 26, 2010 meeting
and the Council may take action on
Amendment 11 at its June 2010 Council
meeting in New York, NY.

Notice of Public Review and Comment
Period on NOAA’s Arctic Vision and
Strategy
AGENCY: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration.
ACTION: Request for comments.
SUMMARY: The Arctic has profound
significance for climate and functioning
of ecosystems around the globe. The
region is particularly vulnerable and
prone to rapid change. Increasing air
and ocean temperatures, thawing
permafrost, loss of sea ice, and shifts in
ecosystems are evidence of widespread
and dramatic ongoing change. As a
result, critical environmental, economic,
and national security issues are
emerging, many of which have
significant impacts for human lives,
livelihoods, and coastal communities.
Though NOAA has numerous and
diverse capabilities that support these
emerging issues, a strategic approach
that leverages NOAA’s existing
priorities and strengths, as well as those
of our national and international
partners, is needed. This document
provides a high-level framework and six
strategic goals to address NOAA’s
highest priorities in the region. It is
based upon assumptions that the region
will: continue to experience dramatic
change; become more accessible to

human activities; and, be a focus of
increasing global strategic interest.
DATES: Comments must be submitted by
June 10, 2010.

the following methods–

I. Summary of the Strategy
NOAA envisions an Arctic where
decisions and actions related to
conservation, management, and use are
based on sound science and support
healthy, productive, and resilient
communities and ecosystems. The
agency seeks a future where the global
implications of Arctic change are better
understood and predicted.
NOAA will focus its efforts on the
following six priority goals needed to
realize this vision:
(1) Forecast Sea Ice
(2) Strengthen Foundational Science to
Understand and Detect Arctic Climate
and Ecosystem Changes
(3) Improve Weather and Water
Forecasts and Warning
(4) Enhance International and National
Partnerships
(5) Improve Stewardship and
Management of Ocean and Coastal
Resources in the Arctic
(6) Advance Resilient and Healthy
Arctic Communities and Economies
These goals were selected because
they represent areas where NOAA can
address urgent and timely issues that
meet two key criteria: providing the
information, knowledge, and policies to
meet NOAA mandates and stewardship
responsibilities, and providing the
information, knowledge, and services to
enable others to live and operate safely
in the Arctic.
Each goal also fulfills international
goals and establishes, enhances, or
leverages partnerships with other Arctic
nations, international organizations,
government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations, academia,
and local communities. The goals are
also geared towards generating large
societal benefits relative to the resources
required and strengthening NOAA’s
