determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
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 Webinar are as follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the data webinars, 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.

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and

Title: Gulf of Mexico Electronic
Logbook.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0543.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 1,410.
Average Hours per Response: 3.
Burden Hours: 4,230.
Needs and Uses: The MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act authorizes the Gulf of
Mexico Fishery Management Council
(Council) to prepare and amend fishery
management plans for any fishery in
waters under its jurisdiction. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) manages the commercial
shrimp fishery in Federal waters of the
Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) under the Fishery
Management Plan for the Shrimp
Fishery of the Gulf.
The electronic logbook (ELB)
regulations for the Gulf shrimp fishery
may be found at 50 CFR 622.51(a)(2).
These regulations require vessel owners
or operators issued a Federal
commercial permit for Gulf shrimp to
participate in the NMFS-sponsored ELB
reporting program. There are
approximately 1,410 valid or renewable
Federal permits to commercially harvest
shrimp from Federal waters in the Gulf.
Reporting through a vessel’s ELB, such
owners or operators must provide
