SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean 
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA Fisheries and the 
Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions have implemented 
the SEDAR process, a multi-step method for determining the status of 
fish stocks in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multi-step process 
including: (1) Data Workshop, (2) a series of assessment webinars, and 
(3) A Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a report 
that compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which 
datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The assessment 
webinars produce a report that describes the fisheries, evaluates the 
status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future 
population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. 
The product of the Review Workshop is an Assessment Summary documenting 
panel opinions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the stock 
assessment and input data. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 
appointed by the Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management 
Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, HMS Management 
Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Participants include 
data collectors and database managers; stock assessment scientists, 
biologists, and researchers; constituency representatives including 
fishermen, environmentalists, and NGO's; International experts; and 
staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal agencies.
    The items of discussion during the SEDAR 94 Assessment Webinar II 
are as follows: Participants will review the assessment modelling work 
to date.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come 
before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to 
those issues specifically identified 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 to 
take final action to address the emergency.
