SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the SSC Ecosystem-Based 
Management and Groundfish Subcommittee meeting is to review an approach 
being developed by the Council's Ecosystem Workgroup to develop 
ecosystem risk evaluation tables for several example groundfish 
species, their potential use in the Council process, and any 
intersection with the SSC's scientific uncertainty buffers and stock 
category designations which result from the stock assessment process.
    No management actions will be decided by the meeting participants. 
The participants' role will be development of recommendations and 
reports for consideration by the SSC and the Pacific Council at a 
future Council meeting. The Pacific Council and SSC are scheduled to 
consider the Ecosystem and Climate Information for Species, Fisheries, 
and Fishery Management Plan Initiative 4 at their March 2024 meeting in 
Fresno, CA.
    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, 
provided the public has been notified of the intent of the workshop 
participants to take final action to address the emergency.
