SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the HMSMT meeting is to 
respond to Council guidance from its June 2017 meeting on further 
development of a range of alternatives for authorizing a fishery using 
deep-set buoy gear. The HMSMT will provide an updated range of 
alternatives at the Council's September 2017 meeting. The Council is 
scheduled to adopt the range of alternatives for public review. The 
HMSMT may also discuss other HMS topics on the Council's September 
agenda. These topics include final action on Amendment 4 to the HMS 
Fishery Management Plan, international management issues, review of 
exempted fishing permit proposals to use deep-set buoy gear, and 
swordfish management project planning. Although not on the September 
Council meeting agenda, the HMSMT may also discuss updates to the HMS 
Stock Assessment and Fishery Evaluation document and HMS-related 
matters scheduled on future Council agendas.
    Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during these meetings. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document 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.
