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 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 12 are 
as follows:
    Participants will review recommendations made on Assessment Webinar 
11 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.
