observations, forecasting, prediction,
and modeling advances required to
improve space weather products.’’
Specifically, the SWAG will (i) assess
the adequacy of current Federal
Government goals for lead time,
accuracy, coverage, timeliness, data rate,
and data quality for space weather
observations and forecasting; (ii)
identify options and methods to, in
consultation with the academic
community and the commercial space
weather sector, improve upon the
advancement of the goals described in
clause (i); (iii) identify opportunities for
collection of new data to address the
needs of the space weather user
community; (iv) identify methods to
increase coordination of space weather
research to operations and operations to
research; (v) identify opportunities for
new technologies, research, and
instrumentation to aid in research,
understanding, monitoring, modeling,
prediction, forecasting, and warning of
space weather; and (vi) identify
methods and technologies to improve
preparedness for potential space
weather phenomena.
This collection identified seven
sectors (Aviation, Emergency
Management, Global Navigation
Satellite System, Human Space Flight,
Power Grid, Research, and Space
Situational Awareness/Space Traffic
Management) that will be consulted as
part of this effort. Information will be
collected on a one-off basis from each of
the sectors. Respondents in each sector
include the general public, defined as
adults ages 18+. Members of the SWAG
will oversee recruitment of the
respondents. Respondents will be asked
questions about their current use of
space weather observations,
information, and forecasts,
technological systems, components or
elements affected by space weather,
current and future risk and resilience
activities, future space weather
requirements, and unused or new types
of measurements or observations that
would enhance space weather risk
mitigation. This data collection serves
many purposes, including gaining a
better understanding of the needs of
users of space weather products. The
SWAG will use the data to identify the
space weather research, observations,
forecasting, prediction, and modeling
advances required to improve space
weather products. Specifically, the
information will be used to advise the
National Science and Technology
Council’s Space Weather Operations,
Research, and Mitigation (SWORM)
Subcommittee on improving the ability
of the United States to prepare for,

ACTION: Notice of public workshop and
webinar/conference call.
AGENCY:
NMFS will hold a 3-day
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) Climate Vulnerability
Assessment (CVA) public workshop and
webinar in May 2023. NMFS uses CVAs
to identify which species may be most
vulnerable based on their exposure to
projected changes in the environment
(e.g., warming oceans) and their
sensitivity or adaptability to handle
those changes based on their life history
characteristics. In-person workshops are
a key component of the CVA scoring
process. This workshop will allow a
scientific panel of 15 experts to evaluate
species sensitivity to climate change,

identify and fix errors in scoring, allow
for appropriate consideration of new
information, address bias, and provide
their individual scores for, and opinions
on, HMS. The meeting is open to the
public.
DATES: The CVA workshop and webinar
will be held on Tuesday, May 16, 2023
through Thursday, May 18, 2023 from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The in-person workshop
will be held at the Embassy Suites by
Hilton, 8000 Jose´ M. Tartak Ave, San
Juan, Puerto Rico, 00979. The meeting
will also be accessible via webinar/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Atlantic
HMS fisheries (tunas, billfish,
swordfish, and sharks) are managed
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (16
U.S.C. 971 et seq.). The 2006
Consolidated HMS Fishery Management
Plan and its amendments are
implemented by regulations at 50 CFR
part 635.
The NMFS Climate Science Strategy
(https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/
national/climate/noaa-fisheries-climatescience-strategy) prioritized the use of
CVAs to better understand what is at
risk and why, and to help triage and
prioritize climate science funding and
resource decisions. NMFS uses CVAs to
identify which species may be most
vulnerable based on their exposure to
projected changes in the environment
(e.g., warming oceans) and their
sensitivity or adaptability to handle
those changes based on their life history
characteristics. In-person workshops are
a key component of the CVA scoring
process. This HMS CVA workshop will
allow a scientific panel of 15 experts to:
evaluate the sensitivity of HMS to
climate change; identify and fix errors
in scoring; allow for appropriate
consideration of new information;
address bias; and provide their
individual scores for, and opinions on,
HMS. Panelists will also consider, and

provide their individual views on,
whether impacts of climate change are
anticipated to be negative, neutral, or
positive on HMS species. The intent of
the workshop is to increase
transparency in the process of
determining final scores. NMFS will
generate preliminary scores indicating
overall expected vulnerability of HMS
to climate change at the end of the
workshop; this will be based on
consideration of the panelists’
individual scores and other information
and analyses. Panelists will be provided
additional opportunities after the
workshop to finalize their individual
scores. NMFS will take these individual
scores and other information and
analyses into consideration when the
agency develops final vulnerability
rankings. Under the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, NMFS is required to use the best
scientific information available for
fishery management per National
Standard 2, 16 U.S.C. 1851(a)(2). NMFS
will make the final results of the HMS
CVA available to the public through a
variety of outreach mechanisms
including the NOAA CVA website
(https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/
national/climate/climate-vulnerabilityassessments), manuscripts, web stories,
and other tools.
This workshop will include both large
group discussion of relevant
information and breakout groups to
provide panelists the opportunity to
focus on species-specific discussions.
Additional information on the meeting
and a copy of the draft agenda will be
posted prior to the meeting (see
ADDRESSES).
Ground rules for the workshop will be
strictly enforced through the workshop
and will be made available with
webinar access information (see
ADDRESSES). Members of the public are
invited to observe the workshop in
person or virtually, and will be
provided limited opportunities to
present information to a panel of
scientific experts to assist in their
evaluation of species’ sensitivity to
climate change. The workshop location
will be physically accessible to people
with disabilities. Requests for sign
language interpretation or other
auxiliary aids should be directed to
Jennifer Cudney or Tyler Loughran at
301–427–8503, at least 7 days prior to
the meeting. Members of the public
accessing the webinar are strongly
encouraged to log/dial in 15 minutes
prior to the meeting in case of technical
issues. Members of the public observing
the workshop via webinar are invited to
observe both large group and breakout
discussions, and should be prepared to

SUMMARY:
In
collaboration with the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council, NMFS is
embarking on a Management Strategy
Evaluation (MSE) to guide dolphin (i.e.,
dolphinfish or mahi mahi) management
in the jurisdiction. The MSE will be
used to develop a management
procedure that best achieves the suite of
management objectives for the U.S.
Atlantic dolphin fishery. Stakeholder
input is necessary for characterizing the
management objectives of the fishery
and stock, identifying any uncertainties
in the system that should be built into
the MSE analysis, and providing
guidance on the acceptability of the
proposed management procedures.
