SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean 
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with the National Marine 
Fisheries Service and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries 
Commissions have implemented the SEDAR process. SEDAR is a 
participatory process for developing, evaluating and reviewing 
information used for fisheries management advice. This multi-step 
process for determining the status of fish stocks in the Southeast 
Region may include (1) a Data stage, and (2) an Assessment stage, and 
(3) a Review stage. Each stage produces a report summarizing decisions 
made during that stage. A final stock assessment report is produced at 
the end of a SEDAR process documenting data sets used, model 
configurations and the opinions from the independent peer review. 
Participants for SEDAR projects are appointed by the Gulf, South 
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and National Marine 
Fisheries Service Southeast Regional Office, Highly Migratory Species 
Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 
Participants may include data collectors and database managers; stock 
assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency 
representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and non-
governmental organizations; International experts; and staff of 
Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal agencies.
    The items of discussion in the SEDAR 103 Data Webinar 4 are as 
follows: Review of socioeconomic data, fishery characterization and 
Pacific Islands. 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.
