SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agenda
The Advisory Panel will review
analyses prepared for Amendment 8
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS). Measures include alternative
Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC)
control rules and measures to address
potential localized depletion and user
conflicts in the herring fishery. The
panel may identify preferred
alternatives for the Committee to
consider the following day. They will
also discuss recommendations for the
Committee to consider for 2018 work
priorities for the Herring Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The Council is
scheduled to have an initial discussion
of potential 2018 priorities at the
September Council meeting. The panel
will discuss if there are any regulations
in the Herring FMP that could be
eliminated, improved, or streamlined.
Several recent Executive Orders have
been issued about streamlining current
regulations, and NOAA is seeking
public input on the efficiency and
effectiveness of current regulations and
whether they can be improved. Other
business will be discussed as necessary.
Although other non-emergency issues
not on the agenda may come before this
group for discussion, those issues may
not be the subject of formal action
during this meeting. Actions will be
restricted to those issues specifically
listed in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
