The purpose of the Charter Halibut
Management Committee meeting is to
identify a range of potential
management measures for the Area 2C
and Area 3A charter halibut fisheries in
2021 using the management measures in
place for 2020 as a baseline. For Area
2C, the baseline management measure
includes regulations applicable to
charter halibut fishing in all areas, and
a daily limit of one fish less than or
equal to 45 inches or greater than or
equal to 80 inches. For Area 3A, the
baseline management measure includes
regulations applicable to charter halibut
fishing in all areas, no annual limit, a
daily limit of two fish, one fish of any
size, and a second fish which must be
32 inches or less in length. No days are
closed to charter halibut fishing.
Committee recommendations will be
incorporated into an analysis for
Council review in December 2020. The
Council will recommend preferred
management measures for consideration
by the International Pacific Halibut
commission at its January 2021 meeting,
for implementation in 2021. The agenda

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
which 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,
Highly Migratory Species 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 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion at the SEDAR
71 Gag Grouper Data and Assessment
Webinar are as follows:
• Discuss and make final
recommendations on any ongoing
data issues as needed
• Discuss modeling issues as needed
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
