Agenda

    The Risk Policy Working Group will plan for a Council run-through 
of the Risk Policy weightings process to be presented at the April 
Council meeting. As time allows, continue to work on the implementation 
of the Risk Policy. They will also focus on refinements to the Risk 
Policy Matrix and plans for simulation testing and coordination with 
other ongoing Council efforts such as the Climate and Ecosystem 
Steering Committee. Other business will be discussed, if necessary.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come 
before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Council 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 Act, provided the public 
has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to 
address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting 
will be recorded. Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy of the
