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 multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report that 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 that
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,
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 in the PostData Workshop Discard Mortality
Webinar are as follows: Participants will
review discard mortality information for
use in the assessment of Gulf of Mexico
red snapper.
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

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING
COMMISSION
Agricultural Advisory Committee
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission.
ACTION: Notice; request for nominations

AGENCY:
The Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (CFTC or
Commission) is requesting nominations
for membership on the Agricultural
Advisory Committee (AAC or
Committee) and is also inviting the
submission of potential topics for
discussion at future Committee
meetings. The AAC is a discretionary
advisory committee established by the
Commission in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act.
DATES: The deadline for the submission
of nominations and topics is September
7, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Nominations and topics for
discussion at future AAC meetings
should be emailed to AAC@cftc.gov or
sent by hand delivery or courier to
Brigitte Weyls, AAC Designated Federal
Officer, Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, 77 West Jackson Blvd.,
Suite 800, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Please use the title ‘‘Agricultural
Advisory Committee’’ for any
nominations or topics you submit.
Submissions through the AAC@cftc.gov
email address are encouraged.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brigitte Weyls, AAC Designated Federal
Officer, at 312–596–0547 or email:
bweyls@cftc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The AAC
was established to assist the
Commission in assessing issues
affecting agricultural producers;

consumers; processors; lenders; other
major market participants, including
derivatives intermediaries, buy-side
representatives, and exchanges;
regulators, and others interested in or
affected by the agricultural derivatives
markets through public meetings and
Committee reports and
recommendations. The duties of the
AAC are solely advisory and include
calling for reports and/or
recommendations by the AAC or AAC
subcommittee(s), adopting reports and/
or recommendations, transmitting
reports to the Commission, and making
recommendations to the Commission.
Determinations of actions to be taken
and policy to be expressed with respect
to the reports or recommendations of
the AAC are made solely by the
Commission.
AAC members generally serve as
representatives and provide advice
reflecting the views of organizations and
entities that constitute the structure of
the agricultural derivatives markets.
Depending on the issues faced, the
Commission may, from time to time,
appoint experts to serve as Special
Government Employees (SGEs), or
officials of other Federal agencies to
serve, on the AAC. If nominated, SGEs
will be asked to submit and complete a
Confidential Financial Disclosure
Report (OGE Form 450). Historically,
the AAC has had between 30–40
members representing the following
viewpoint categories: (i) agricultural
producers and/or direct and indirect
users/consumers of agricultural
products; (ii) providers of agricultural
credit; (iii) other major market
participants, including derivatives
intermediaries, buy-side representatives,
and exchanges; (iv) regulators or
representatives from other relevant
government agencies; and (v) academia
or public interest groups. The AAC has
held approximately one meeting per
year. AAC members serve at the
pleasure of the Commission. In
addition, AAC members do not receive
compensation or honoraria for their
services, and they are not reimbursed
for travel and per diem expenses.
The Commission seeks members who
represent organizations or groups with
an interest in the AAC’s mission and
function and reflect a balanced and
representative sample of agricultural
producers; consumers; processors;
lenders; other major market
participants, including derivatives
intermediaries, buy-side representatives,
and exchanges; regulators, and others
interested in or affected by the
agricultural derivatives markets. To
advise the Commission effectively, AAC
members must have a high-level of
PO 00000

expertise and experience in the
agricultural derivatives markets and the
Commission’s regulation of such
markets, including from a historical
perspective. To the extent practicable,
the Commission will strive to select
members reflecting wide ethnic, racial,
gender, and age representation. AAC
members should be open to
participating in a public forum.
The Commission invites the
submission of nominations for AAC
membership. Each nomination
submission should include relevant
information about the proposed
member, such as the individual’s name,
title, and organizational affiliation, as
well as information that supports the
individual’s qualifications to serve on
the AAC. The submission should also
include suggestions for topics for
discussion at future AAC meetings as
well as the name and email or mailing
address of the person nominating the
proposed member.
Submission of a nomination is not a
guarantee of selection as a member of
the AAC. As noted in the AAC’s
Membership Balance Plan, the CFTC
identifies members for the AAC through
a variety of methods. Such methods may
include public requests for nominations
for membership; recommendations
sought from existing advisory
committee members; consultations with
knowledgeable persons outside the
CFTC (agricultural producers, consumer
groups, other market participants, state
or Federal government agencies,
academia, etc.); requests to be
represented received from individuals
and organizations; and Commissioners’
and CFTC staff’s professional
knowledge of those experienced in the
agricultural derivatives markets.
The office of the Commissioner
primarily responsible for the AAC plays
a primary, but not exclusive, role in this
process and makes recommendations
regarding membership to the
Commission. The Commission, by vote,
authorizes proposed members to serve
on the AAC.
The Commission also invites
submissions from the public regarding
the topics on which the AAC should
focus. In other words, topics that:
(a) Reflect matters of public concern
to agricultural derivatives markets, such
as contract design, hedging
effectiveness, price discovery, customer
protection, the role of intermediaries,
exchange rules; and/or
(b) Are important to otherwise assist
the Commission in identifying and
understanding the impact and
implications of the evolving market
structure of the agricultural derivatives
markets.
