SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
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 during the
Assessment 1 webinar are as follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the Data Webinar, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
A series of recent Executive Orders
aimed at eliminating, improving, and
streamlining current regulations and
associated regulatory processes in a
variety of areas have been issued. On
January 24, 2017, President Trump
issued Executive Order (E.O.) 13766,
‘‘Expediting Environmental Reviews
and Approvals for High Priority
Infrastructure Projects’’ (82 FR 8657,
January 30, 2017). This E.O. requires
infrastructure decisions to be
accomplished with maximum efficiency
and effectiveness, while also respecting
property rights and protecting public
safety. Additionally, the E.O. makes it a
policy of the executive branch to
‘‘streamline and expedite, in a manner
consistent with law, environmental
reviews and approvals for all
infrastructure projects.’’
On January 30, 2017, President Trump
issued E.O. 13771, ‘‘Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs’’ (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017).
E.O. 13771 provides that ‘‘it is essential
to manage the costs associated with the
governmental imposition of private
expenditures required to comply with
Federal regulations.’’ Toward that end,
E.O. 13771 directs that ‘‘for every one
new regulation issued, at least two prior
regulations be identified for elimination,
and that the cost of planned regulations
be prudently managed and controlled
through a budgeting process.’’
On February 24, 2017, President
Trump issued E.O. 13777, ‘‘Enforcing
the Regulatory Reform Agenda,’’ which
established a federal policy ‘‘to alleviate
unnecessary regulatory burdens placed
on the American people’’ (82 FR 12285,
March 1, 2017). Among other issues,
E.O. 13777 directs Federal agencies to
establish a Regulatory Reform Task
Force (Task Force), which will
‘‘evaluate existing regulations and make
recommendations to the agency head
regarding their repeal, replacement, or
modification, consistent with applicable
law.’’ Further, the E.O. directs each Task
Force to identify regulations that meet
the following criteria: Eliminate jobs, or
inhibit job creation; are outdated,
unnecessary, or ineffective; impose
costs that exceed benefits; create a
serious inconsistency or otherwise
interfere with regulatory reform
initiatives and policies; are inconsistent
with the requirements of section 515 of
the Treasury and General Government
Appropriations Act, 2001; and/or derive
from or implement Executive Orders or
other Presidential directives that have
been subsequently rescinded or
substantially modified. Section 3(e) of
