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/Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series of webinars. 
The product of the Data/Assessment Workshop is a report which compiles 
and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are 
appropriate for assessment analyses, and describes the fisheries, 
evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, 
projects future population conditions, and recommends research and 
monitoring needs. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are appointed by the 
Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and 
NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, Highly Migratory Species 
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 non-
governmental organizations; International experts; and staff of 
Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies.
    The items of discussion in the Review Workshop are as follows:
    Participants will evaluate the data and assessment reports, as 
specified in the Terms of Reference for the workshop and determine if 
they are scientifically sound.
    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.

Special Accommodations

    These meetings are physically accessible to people with 
disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other 
auxiliary aids should be directed to the Council office (see ADDRESSES)
