step process including: (1) Data/Assessment Workshop, and (2) a series 
of webinars. The product of the Data/Assessment Workshop is a report 
which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which 
datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses, and describes the

benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends 
research and monitoring needs. Participants for SEDAR Workshops are

Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, HMS 
Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center.

assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency 
representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and NGO's; 
International experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state 
and federal agencies.

follows:
    Panelists will present summary data, and discuss data needs and 
treatments.
    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
