SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


[top] The purpose of the SSC Groundfish and CPS Subcommittees' meeting is to review proposed changes to the Terms of Reference for the Groundfish and Coastal Pelagic Species Stock Assessment Review Process for 2021 and 2022 that will inform the process for conducting and reviewing groundfish and CPS assessments in 2021 and 2022. Members of the Pacific page 19143 Council's groundfish and CPS advisory bodies are encouraged to attend to prepare their recommendations to the Council. Proposed changes to the Terms of Reference were first considered in an online webinar on December 13, 2019. A report from that webinar was discussed by the SSC at their March meeting and their recommended changes to the ToR were adopted by the Pacific Council for public review. The Pacific Council is scheduled to adopt a final Terms of Reference at their June meeting in San Diego, California.

No management actions will be decided by the SSC's Groundfish and CPS Subcommittees. The SSC Groundfish and CPS Subcommittees' members' role will be development of recommendations and reports for consideration by the SSC and Pacific Council at the June meeting in San Diego, CA.

Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agendas may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues specifically listed 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 of the SSC Groundfish Subcommittee to take final action to address the emergency.
