SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic,
and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three
step process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
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,
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.
The items of discussion in the Data
Workshop agenda are as follows:
1. An assessment data set and
associated documentation will be
developed.
2. Participants will evaluate all
available data and select appropriate
sources for providing information on
life history characteristics, catch
statistics, discard estimates, length and
age composition, and fishery dependent
and fishery independent measures of
stock abundance, as specified in the
Terms of Reference for the workshop.

Department of Defense (DoD).
Notice.
On behalf of the U.S.
Government, DoD is contemplating
negotiating and concluding a Reciprocal
Defense Procurement (RDP)
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Ministry of Defense of Latvia.
DoD is requesting industry feedback
regarding its experience in public
defense procurements conducted by or
on behalf of the Latvian Ministry of
Defense or Armed Forces.

qualifying countries, as defined in the
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) 225.003, at the
level of the Secretary of Defense and his
counterpart. The purpose of an RDP
MOU is to promote rationalization,
standardization, and interoperability of
conventional defense equipment with
allies and other friendly governments.
These MOUs provide a framework for
ongoing communication regarding
market access and procurement matters
that enhance effective defense
cooperation.
RDP MOUs generally include
language by which the Parties agree that
their defense procurements will be
conducted in accordance with certain
implementing procedures. These
procedures relate to—
• Publication of notices of proposed
purchases;
• The content and availability of
solicitations for proposed purchases;
• Notification to each unsuccessful
offeror;
• Feedback, upon request, to
unsuccessful offerors concerning the
reasons they were not allowed to
participate in a procurement or were not
awarded a contract; and
• Provision for the hearing and
review of complaints arising in
connection with any phase of the
procurement process to ensure that, to
the extent possible, complaints are
equitably and expeditiously resolved.
Based on the MOU, each country
affords the other country certain
benefits on a reciprocal basis consistent
with national laws and regulations. The
benefits that the United States accords
to the products of qualifying countries
include—
• Offers of qualifying country end
products are evaluated without applying
the price differentials otherwise
required by the Buy American statute
and the Balance of Payments Program;
• The chemical warfare protection
clothing restrictions in 10 U.S.C. 2533a
and the specialty metals restriction in
10 U.S.C. 2533b(a)(1) do not apply to
products manufactured in a qualifying
country; and
• Customs, taxes, and duties are
waived for qualifying country end
products and components of defense
procurements.
If DoD (for the U.S. Government)
concludes an RDP MOU with the
Ministry of Defense of Latvia, then
Latvia would be listed as one of the
qualifying countries in the definition of
qualifying country at DFARS 225.003,
and offers of products of Latvia or that
contain components from Latvia would
be afforded the benefits available to all
qualifying countries. This also means
