etc.), and (3) suggest other metrics not
described in the Final Biop that could
be used to evaluate the efficacy of the
action in ensuring the groundfish
fisheries are not likely to adversely
affect the survival and recovery of
WDPS of the Steller sea lion.
CIE Panel Review
The CIE panel review will focus on
Chapter 2 from the TORs. Persons or
groups wishing to make a presentation
to the CIE reviewers must submit a
statement of interest with a brief (one
page or less) abstract of the type of
information to be presented.
Presentations must address new
scientific information germane to Steller
sea lions and the groundfish fisheries
that was not available before September
3, 2010. Persons or groups proposing to
present information that does not fall
within the TORs for the CIE review will
not be invited to make presentations.
Due to the limited time available for
the panel review, NMFS encourages
individuals or groups that may have
similar perspectives on the pertinent
scientific information to coordinate
their proposed presentations into
subject specific panels to present the
information effectively and minimize
redundancy. For example, a panel could
be comprised of several fishing industry
representatives or several
representatives of non-governmental
organizations, with each participant
addressing a different facet of the
relevant information.
NMFS will review the statements of
interest, abstracts, and proposed panels
and, in consultation with the CIE
reviewers, will schedule the
presentations so as to focus on the most
relevant scientific information of
interest to the reviewers. The amount of
time available per presenter or panel
will depend on the number of persons
and groups wishing to make
presentations. NMFS will contact the
proposed presenters in advance of the
meeting to specify the amount of time
available and the approximate schedule.
During the meeting presenters may
provide additional written information
to the CIE reviewers for consideration,
but the CIE reviewers are not obligated
under the contract to review documents
beyond those identified in the SOW.
More information on the CIE review,
including the full SOW and TORs and
all written materials for review
identified in the SOW, is available on
the NMFS Alaska Region Web site (see
ADDRESSES).
