SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean 
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with the NMFS 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, (2) an 
assessment stage, and (3) a review stage. Each stage produces a report 
summarizing decisions made during

[[Page 55087]]

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 90 Assessment Webinar 10 are 
as follows:
    Participants will review recommendations made on Assessment Webinar 
9 and continue discussion of new modeling topics. 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.
