compiles and evaluates potential
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
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
Highly Migratory Species (HMS)
Management Division, and Southeast
Fisheries Science Center. Participants
include data collectors and database
managers; stock assessment scientists,
biologists, and researchers; constituency
representatives including fishermen,
environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
SEDAR 32 Data Webinar: Participants
will present summary data, and discuss
data needs and treatments.
Special Accommodations

The New England Fishery
Management Council (Council) is
scheduling a public meeting of its
Herring Advisory Panel on January 16,
2013 to consider actions affecting New
England fisheries in the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ).
Recommendations from this group will
be brought to the full Council for formal
consideration and action, if appropriate.
DATES: This meeting will be held on
Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 10 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Advisory Panel (AP) will discuss the
development of Framework Adjustment
2 to the Herring Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) and the 2013–2015 Atlantic
herring fishery specifications; develop
related AP recommendations for the
committee and Council to consider.
Framework 2 includes alternatives to
modify the herring fishery specification
process to allow for seasonal splitting of
sub-ACLs (annual catch limits) in all
four herring management areas, as well
as annual carryover of un-utilized subACL under certain conditions. The
2013–2015 herring fishery specifications
include alternatives for 2013–2015
overfishing limit (OFL), acceptable
biological catch (ABC) and ABC control
rule, management uncertainty and a
total annual catch limit (ACL), domestic
annual harvesting (DAH), domestic
annual processing (DAP), border
transfer (BT), options for sub-ACLs
(annual quotas) for four herring
management areas, set-asides for
research and fixed gear fisheries, and
alternatives for accountability measures
(AMs) in the herring fishery. Other
business may be discussed.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group 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 Magnuson-Stevens
Act, provided the public has been

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

opportunity in the California drift

gillnet fishery. Since the PLCA was
established to reduce the take of
endangered leatherback sea turtles in
this fishery, other mitigation measures
may be considered to compensate for
any additional fishing opportunity.
Specifically, the HMSMT will consider
a regulatory limit on the annual number
of incidental take interactions allowed
in the fishery. This regulatory approach
has been used successfully in the
Hawaii-based shallow-set pelagic
longline fishery to limit takes of
leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles.
The HMSMT will also begin work on
the next Stock Assessment and Fishery
Evaluation document, which is
prepared annually, summarizing
information from the previous year.
Informational topics may also be
discussed, time permitting.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in the meeting agenda may be
discussed, those issues may not be the
subject of formal action during these
meetings. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed in this
document and any issues arising after
publication of this document that
require emergency action under section
305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,

the emergency.
