model behaves as expected. During the webinar, the SSC will consider 
endorsing the GMT's IFQ model to inform management decisions. No 
management actions will be decided in this webinar. Public comments 
during the webinar will be received from attendees at the discretion of

listed in this notice and any issues arising after publication of this 
notice that require emergency action under Section 305(c) of the

public has been notified of the webinar participants' intent to take 
final action to address the emergency.
