SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pacific Council will be considering two 
administrative items related to the ONMS at its September meeting. The 
first item, Chumash Sanctuary Designation, will focus on the proposed 
designation documents and regulations for the new Sanctuary, with 
particular focus on any proposed regulations that may affect fishing 
activities under the Council's jurisdiction. The second item is the 
consideration of new areas for coral research and restoration in the 
Gulf of Farallones and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuaries. The 
Council will begin scoping this item in September and will consider the 
areas that may be closed to fishing and to what fisheries the closures 
would apply. This presentation is aimed at a broad audience of Council 
members, advisory body members, and the public. Pacific Council and 
ONMS staff may follow up with more targeted discussions with advisory 
bodies during their September meetings will also brief the Council 
directly.
    Although non-emergency 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 document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document 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.
