FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Keller, Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce at (301) 427–7725 or Bryan.Keller@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSE is a process that allows fishery managers and stakeholders (e.g., industry, scientists, and non-governmental organizations) to assess how well different strategies achieve specified management objectives for a fishery. ICCAT expects to finalize its North Atlantic swordfish MSE in 2023 and anticipates adopting a management procedure in November 2023 to set the total allowable catch for 2024 and future years for the stock. NMFS, and the U.S. Government more broadly, engages in this MSE development, an important part of which involves considering stakeholder input throughout the process through various means, including consultation with the Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section to ICCAT. The United States is also participating in the development of the North Atlantic swordfish MSE through the active involvement of U.S. scientists in the scientific work carried out by ICCAT’s Standing Committee on Research and Statistics (SCRS). The August 24 meeting is intended to update U.S. stakeholders and solicit their input on the MSE approach being developed by ICCAT for North Atlantic swordfish. NMFS will provide information on the progress of the SCRS in developing initial candidate management procedures (CMPs) and testing them based on the initial input on management objectives and other relevant matters provided by ICCAT’s Panel 4. CMPs illustrate tradeoffs associated with achieving identified management objectives related to stock status, stock safety, yield, and catch stability over time. CMP testing assists SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM 09AUN1
