Agenda

    The Advisory Panel will review analyses prepared for Herring 
Amendment 8 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) specific to the 
range of alternatives developed to address potential localized 
depletion and user conflicts in the herring fishery. The panel may 
identify preferred alternatives for the Committee to consider the 
following day. The panel is not scheduled to discuss the other measures 
under consideration in Amendment 8, Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) 
control rule alternatives. The Council reviewed the ABC control rule 
alternatives at the September 2017 meeting and declined to select a 
preferred alternative, but approved that portion of Amendment 8 to 
proceed for submission and public comment. They will discuss 
recommendations for the Committee to consider for Herring Research Set-
Aside research priorities for fishing years 2019-21 and discuss any 
challenges the program has had in recent years. They will discuss other 
business, 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.
