SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the pre-assessment workshop
is to review proposed data inputs, modeling approaches, and any other
pertinent information to inform 2025 stock assessments for chilipepper
rockfish and California quillback rockfish. The goal of the pre-
assessment workshop is to promote dialogue about and a common
understanding between assessment teams and data providers of the best
data and analytical and modeling approaches applicable to
[[Page 105542]]
these assessments. Stock assessment teams will solicit advice from data
stewards, stakeholders, and fishery managers knowledgeable about these
species.
No management actions will be decided by the workshop participants.
The participants' role will be the development of recommendations for
consideration by the stock assessment teams assigned to conduct these
assessments. Assessments for these stocks are tentatively scheduled for
peer review during a Stock Assessment Review (STAR) panel on June 23-
27, 2025. The Pacific Council and the Pacific Council's Scientific and
Statistical Committee are scheduled to consider these draft assessments
for use in informing management decisions at their September 2025
meeting in Spokane, Washington.
Although nonemergency issues not contained in the workshop's agenda
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action
during this workshop. 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.
