specifications (Framework 29). They also plan to review and provide 
input on Framework 29 management measures; which include: (1) Northern 
Gulf of Maine Management Measures; (2) Development and modification of 
flatfish accountability measures; (3) Modifying access area boundaries 
to be consistent with potential changes to habitat and groundfish 
mortality closures through OHA2. The panel will review and discuss 
results from the LAGC IFQ program review. They will also develop a list 
of potential 2018 scallop work priorities. Additionally, the panel will 
discuss whether there are any regulations in the Scallop FMP that could 
be eliminated, improved, or streamlined. Several recent Executive 
Orders have been issued about streamlining current regulations, and 
NOAA is seeking public input on the efficiency and effectiveness of 
current regulations and whether they can be improved. Other business 
may be discussed as necessary.
    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 these meetings. Action will be restricted to 
those issues specifically listed in this notice and any issues arising 
after publication of this notice that require emergency action under 
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public has 
been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to address 
the emergency.
