SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council), in

distribution of the northern subpopulation of Pacific sardine. The 
workshop is open to the public.

DATES: The workshop will take place August 17-19, 2015. Meeting times 
are Monday, August 17, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday, August 18, from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the workshop is to consider 
scientific information, data, and potential alternative means for 
establishing the Distribution value used in the Pacific sardine harvest 
control rule (HCR). The workshop is not intended as a review of other 
aspects of the HCR, Pacific sardine harvest management, or policy. The 
current Distribution value of 0.87 is intended to account for the fact 
that some portion of the U.S. sardine stock is present and subject to 
harvest outside U.S. waters. It is intended as a long-term average,

recognizing that the distribution is variable because the sardine stock 
migrates seasonally and interannually.
