ACTION: Notice of SEDAR Procedural Workshop 7: SEDAR Data Best 
Practices post-workshop webinar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A post workshop webinar will be held, if necessary, following 
the June 22-26, 2015 SEDAR Procedural Workshop 7 to develop best 
practice recommendations for SEDAR Data Workshops, in Atlanta, GA. See 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: The SEDAR Procedural Workshop 7 post-workshop webinar will be 
held, if necessary, on Tuesday, July 7, 2015, from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m.
    The established times may be adjusted as necessary to accommodate 
the timely completion of discussion relevant to procedural workshop. 
Such adjustments may result in the meeting being extended from, or 
completed prior to the time established by this notice.

ADDRESSES:
    Meeting address: The meeting will be held via webinar. The webinar 
is open to members of the public. Those interested in participating 
should contact Julia Byrd at SEDAR (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
below) to request an invitation providing webinar access information. 
Please request webinar invitations at least 24 hours in advance of each 
webinar.
    SEDAR address: 4055 Faber Place Drive, Suite 201, North Charleston, 
SC 29405.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julia Byrd, SEDAR Coordinator, 
telephone: (843) 571-4366; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 
Caribbean Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commissions 
have implemented the Southeast Data, Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 
process, a multi-step method for determining the status of fish stocks 
in the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a three step process including: (1) 
Data Workshop; (2) Assessment Process utilizing workshops and webinars; 
and (3) Review Workshop.
    SEDAR also coordinates procedural workshops which provide an 
opportunity for focused discussion and deliberation on topics that 
arise in multiple assessments. They are structured to develop best 
practices for addressing common issues across assessments. The seventh 
procedural workshop will develop best practice recommendations for 
SEDAR Data Workshops.
    Workshop objectives include developing an inventory of common or 
recurring data and analysis issues from SEDAR Data Workshops; 
documenting how the identified data and analysis issues were addressed 
in the past and identifying potential additional methods to address 
these issues; developing and selecting best practice procedures and 
approaches for addressing these issues in future, including procedures 
and approaches to follow when deviating from best practice 
recommendations; and identifying process to address future revision and 
evaluation of workshop recommendations, considering all unaddressed 
data and analysis issues. The post-workshop webinar will be held, if 
necessary, to finalize best practice recommendations from the workshop.
    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

    This meeting is accessible to people with disabilities. Requests 
for auxiliary aids should be directed to the SEDAR office (see 
ADDRESSES) at least 10 business days prior to the meeting.

    Note:  The times and sequence specified in this agenda are 
subject to change.
