datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
Summary documenting Panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are

COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY
Draft Guidance on Improving the
Process for Preparing Efficient and
Timely Environmental Reviews under
the National Environmental Policy Act
Council on Environmental
Quality.
ACTION: Notice of availability, draft
guidance on improving the process for
preparing efficient and timely
environmental reviews under the
National Environmental Policy Act.
AGENCY:
The Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) is issuing
its draft guidance on Improving the
Process for Preparing Efficient and
Timely Environmental Reviews under
the National Environmental Policy Act
for public review and comment. The
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and CEQ Regulations
implementing NEPA provide numerous
techniques for preparing efficient and
timely environmental reviews. CEQ is
issuing this guidance for Federal
departments and agencies to emphasize
and clarify these techniques, consistent
with a thorough and meaningful
environmental review and keeping in
mind the following basic principles: (1)
NEPA encourages simple,
straightforward, and concise reviews
and documentation that are
proportionate to and effectively convey
the relevant considerations in a timely
manner to the public and
decisionmakers, while comprehensively
addressing the issues presented; (2)
NEPA should be integrated into project
planning rather than be an after-the-fact
add-on; (3) NEPA reviews should
coordinate and take appropriate
advantage of existing documents and
studies, including through adoption and
incorporation by reference; (4) Early and
well-defined scoping can assist in
focusing environmental reviews on
