SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of the Sablefish MSE Workshop
is to engage fishery stakeholders, Alaska
Native and Tribal governments, First
Nations, scientists, managers, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff
from each region during this two-day
workshop that will foster discussions
among regions about sablefish science
and management. The workshop will
introduce the basic premise, goals, and
utility of an MSE and participants’ roles
in the process. The successful sablefish
MSE experience from British Columbia
will be introduced, along with the range
of time horizons for incorporating
stakeholder input into this Sablefish
MSE. Then the Operating Model (OM)
structure and justification for focusing
on the entire NE Pacific, rather than the

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 68 / Monday, April 12, 2021 / Notices
traditional regional approach to
scientific analyses, will be discussed.
The first key focal point for participant
feedback into this MSE process is in
identifying fishery objectives.
Participants will be provided with an
overview of the types of objectives
commonly used for MSE and
recommend objectives for this MSE.
Next, participants will be provided with
an overview of the types of performance
metrics (quantities for evaluating if
objectives are met) commonly used for
MSE and provide feedback on
performance metrics for this MSE. An
overview of the current regional
sablefish management strategies (the
combination of stock assessment model
and harvest control rule) will precede a
discussion of the proposed near term
MSE management strategies and
identify and prioritize additional ideas
for MSE management strategies for
future research.
Workshop attendees desiring to
engage participants will be required to
register in advance at https://
www.pacificsablefishscience.org/. There
are two registration options for
workshop attendees—participant or
observer. Registrants are asked to selfselect their attendance category.
Participants are expected to engage in
the full two-day workshop, including
approximately three small group
breakout group sessions over the course
of the two days (approximately 20–40
min. for each session). Facilitators will
guide breakout group participants
through questions and discussions
aimed at collecting participant feedback
and ideas on each focal topic.
Facilitators will summarize breakout
group discussions and suggestions to
the full group of observers and
participants. The registration deadline
for participants is Friday, April 16. The
objective is to accommodate everyone
that registers as a participant, although
it may not be possible for all participant
requests to be fulfilled. Early
registration is encouraged to ensure the
ability to participate. Observer-level
registrants will be able to listen to
presentations and full group discussions
and ask questions as time permits
during full group discussions. While
observers are encouraged to register in
advance, observers may register for the
meeting until 5 p.m. April 23.
Additionally, the meeting will be live
streamed via YouTube where
individuals may listen to the
presentations and full group discussions
without registration. YouTube viewers
will not be able to ask questions during
the full group discussion periods and
will not be able to view the breakout
group discussions. Meeting materials

management actions will be decided by
the workshop participants. The
workshop’s participants’ role will be
development of recommendations for
consideration by the PSTAT in
developing the NE Pacific Sablefish
MSE.
Although nonemergency issues not
contained in the workshop agenda may
be discussed, those issues may not be
the subject of formal action during these
meetings. Action will be restricted to
those issues specifically listed 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 of the workshop participants
to take final action to address the
emergency.
