SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the SSC Economics
Subcommittee meeting is to review a comparative cost study for the West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. In 2022, NMFS provided the
Pacific Council with funds for a contract to look more closely at catch
share fishery costs that are borne by industry and NMFS. Pacific
Council staff engaged Mr. Darrell Brannan to conduct the work. The cost
project covers three broad objectives: (a) documentation of industry
concerns and identifying costs related to specific program elements,
(b) comparison of those costs to similar catch share programs, and (c)
organization and presentation of the information to inform future
deliberations.
No management actions will be decided by the meeting participants.
The participants' role will be the development of recommendations and
reports for consideration by the SSC and the Pacific Council. The
Pacific Council and SSC are scheduled to consider the comparative cost
study for the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program at their
September 2023 meeting in Spokane, Washington.
Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed 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,
[[Page 24976]]
provided the public has been notified of the intent of the workshop
participants to take final action to address the emergency.
