The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a 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 product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
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 during the
Assessment Webinar VI are as follows:
Participants will review the
assessment modeling work to date and
provide recommendations to the
analytic team.
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
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.

Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; modification of letter of
authorization.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), as amended, its implementing
regulations, and NMFS’ MMPA
Regulations for Taking Marine
Mammals Incidental to Construction of
the Empire Wind Offshore Wind Project
Offshore of New York, notification is
hereby given that upon request from
Empire Wind, LLC (Empire Wind),
NMFS has modified a Letter of
Authorization (LOA) issued to Empire
Wind for the take of marine mammals
incidental to activities associated with
construction of the Empire Wind
Offshore Wind Energy Project (hereafter
known as the ‘‘Project’’) in Federal and
State waters offshore New York.
Specifically, NMFS has modified the
LOA Holder’s name as well as
mitigation and monitoring measures
related to vessel strike avoidance, sound
field verification reporting, and
requirements for passive acoustic
monitoring (PAM). NMFS has also made
modifications to additional measures to
improve clarify and better align with the
Biological Opinion. NMFS has
determined that these modifications do
not change the findings made for the
regulations and does not result in any
change in the total estimated number of
takes of marine mammals.
DATES: The modified LOA is valid
through February 21, 2029.
