FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher M. Moore, Ph.D., Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, telephone: (302) 526–5255. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The joint sub-panel, consisting of Mid-Atlantic and New England SSC members and ASMFC Assessment Science Committee members, will meet to review and provide input on the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) draft survey mitigation plans relative to offshore wind development. NOAA Fisheries and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) developed the Federal Survey Mitigation Strategy (Strategy) which describes the impacts of wind energy development on fisheries-independent surveys and outlines the goals, objectives, and actions to guide the development and implementation of a program to mitigate the impacts on fisheries-independent surveys. To address the actions outlined in the Strategy, the NEFSC developed the Northeast Survey Mitigation Program and survey-specific mitigation plans to ensure NEFSC can continue to provide equal or higher quality science for each of the long-term, recurring surveys conducted by NEFSC that will be impacted by offshore wind development. The survey mitigation plans include descriptions of the impacted survey, specific stakeholders for the data collected, impacts of offshore wind development, and planned mitigation measures to address the impacts of wind energy development on scientific surveys. To ensure the survey mitigation plans represent the best science available, the joint sub-panel will peer review the draft survey mitigation plans prepared by the NEFSC for eight existing fisheryindependent surveys and three new supplemental surveys. The sub-panel PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37179 will evaluate the detail and scientific soundness of the mitigation approaches described in each plan, following a set of Terms of Reference. The NEFSC will consider the feedback received from the sub-panel and will address and/or incorporate into revised survey mitigation plans as appropriate. A detailed agenda and background documents will be made available on the Council’s website (www.mafmc.org) prior to the meeting. Special Accommodations These meetings are physically accessible to people with disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aid should be directed to Shelley Spedden, (302) 526–5251, at least 5 days prior to the meeting date. Authority: 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq.
