sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
(NRDA). The ROD documents the
Trustee Council’s decision to select
Integrated Habitat Restoration Planning
as the preferred alternative under NEPA
because this alternative is most suited to
fulfill the goal of the NRDA to restore
injured natural resources and services
and it meets the purpose and need for
restoration planning. This alternative is
specifically designed to improve
habitats that function in support of
multiple fish and wildlife species, as
well as the food base for these species.
This approach is expected to deliver
broad ecosystem benefits concentrated
within and around the area where the
injuries to natural resources and natural
resources services have taken place.
This alternative would consist of habitat
restoration actions implemented within
geographic priority areas within and
around the Portland Harbor Superfund
Study Area. The scale of restoration
activity that will be implemented by the
Trustee Council under the PEIS/RP will
depend upon the resolution of natural
resource damage claims with the parties
responsible for releases of hazardous
substances and oil. Under CERCLA,
settlements received by the Trustee
Council, either through negotiated or
adjudicated processes, must be used to
restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or
acquire the equivalent of those natural
resources that have been injured. The
Final PEIS/RP will guide future Trustee
Council decision-making regarding the
expenditure of settlements and the
implementation of restoration activities.
NOAA is not soliciting comments on
the PEIS/RP but will consider any
comments submitted that would assist
us in preparing future NEPA
documents. An electronic copy of the
PEIS/RP is available at: https://

PortlandHarbor/Documents/201706_
FINAL_PEIS.pdf. Electronic
correspondence regarding it can be
submitted to megan.callahan-grant@
noaa.gov. Otherwise, please submit any
written comments via U.S. mail to the
responsible official named in the
ADDRESSES section.

North Pacific Fishery Management
Council; Public Meeting
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
NMFS has requested the
Center for Independent Experts (CIE) to
conduct a peer review of the agency’s
stock assessments for the Aleutian
Islands golden king crab (AIGKC) and
Norton Sound red king crab (NSRKC)
stocks. The CIE is a group affiliated with
the University of Miami that provides
independent peer reviews of NMFS
science nationwide, including reviews
of stock assessments for fish, shellfish
and marine mammals. The AIGKC and
NSRKC stock assessments are reviewed
annually by the Alaska Fisheries
Science Center, the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council (NPFMC)
Crab Plan Team, and the NPFMC
Scientific and Statistical Committee.
The CIE review will examine whether
the assessments incorporate the best
scientific information available for
making management decisions and
whether they provide reasonable
approaches to understanding the
population dynamics and stock status
for the AIGKC and NSRKC stocks. The
public is invited to attend and observe
the presentations and discussions
between the CIE panel and the NMFS
and Alaska Department of Fish & Game
(ADFG) scientists who designed the
underlying assessment models,
collected the data, and performed the
stock assessments.
DATES: The meeting will be held on
Monday, June 18, 2018, through
Thursday, June 21, 2018 from 8 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at
the Alaska Fisheries Science Center,
7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA
98115–6349. Visitors will need to
provide proper ID and sign in at the
front desk.
Council address: North Pacific
Fishery Management Council, 605 W.

reviewers who will assess materials
related to the topics, participate in a
review workshop with the NMFS and
ADFG scientists who developed the
assessment models and the analytical
approaches, and produce a report. This
review will be highly technical in
nature and will cover mathematical
details of the analytical approaches.
Members of the public are invited to
observe, and will be provided
opportunities to contribute on June 18–
20, 2018. The final report will be
available prior to the September NPFMC
Plan Team meetings and will consist of
individual reports from each panelist
and a summary report. The results of the
review will be presented during the
September 2018 NPFMC Crab Plan
Team meeting, which will be
announced later in the Federal Register.
Special Accommodations
These workshops will be physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language
interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to Laura Oremland,
