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 multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing Webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report that 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 that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:44 Jul 27, 2016
Jkt 238001
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
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the
Assessment Process Webinars are as
follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the Data Workshop, panelists will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population
benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
2. Participants will recommend the
most appropriate methods and
configurations for determining stock
status and estimating population
parameters.
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
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.
Special Accommodations
These meetings are physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to the Council office
(see ADDRESSES) at least 10 business
days prior to each workshop.
Note: The times and sequence
specified in this agenda are subject to
change.

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
On May 30, 2007, the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) published a
Final Rule (72 FR 29891) implementing
a requirement under the Coastal Pelagic
Species Fishery Management Plan (CPS
FMP) to report any interactions that may
occur between a CPS vessel and/or
fishing gear and sea otters.
Specifically, these reporting
requirements are:
1. If a southern sea otter is entangled
in a net, regardless of whether the
animal is injured or killed, such an

occurrence must be reported within 24
hours to the Regional Administrator,
NMFS West Coast Region.
2. While fishing for CPS, vessel
operators must record all observations
of otter interactions (defined as otters
within encircled nets or coming into
contact with nets or vessels, including
but not limited to entanglement) with
their purse seine net(s) or vessel(s).
With the exception of an entanglement,
which will be initially reported as
described in #2 above, all other
observations must be reported within 20
days to the Regional Administrator.
When contacting NMFS after an
interaction, fishermen are required to
provide information regarding the
location, specifically latitude and
longitude, of the interaction and a
description of the interaction itself.
Descriptive information of the
interaction should include: Whether or
not the otters were seen inside or
outside the net; if inside the net, had the
net been completely encircled; did
contact occur with net or vessel; the
number of otters present; duration of
interaction; otter’s behavior during
interaction; and, measures taken to
avoid interaction.
