SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2016,
NMFS adopted its EBFM Policy and
EBFM Road Map. Both the Policy and
the Road Map are part of NMFS’s Policy
Directive System, which guides work
within NMFS, but does not have the
force and effect of law and do not bind
the public. The EBFM Policy was
updated in the Policy Directive System
in February 2024, following a scheduled
2023 review. The more detailed EBFM
Road Map was also scheduled for and
subject to a review in 2023, and NMFS
made the draft Road Map available for
public review in May 2024.
During this interim CCC session,
NMFS will brief the CCC on updates to
the EBFM Policy and Road Map, and
will discuss progress made to date on
implementing these internal directives
since 2016.
The 2007 reauthorization of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
established the CCC. The CCC consists
of the chairs, vice chairs, and executive
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
