SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the SSC Groundfish 
Subcommittee meeting is to review groundfish harvest specifications 
that will inform management decisions for 2019 and beyond. The review 
will focus on revised projections of lingcod harvest specifications. An 
error was discovered in the lingcod harvest specifications adopted by 
the Pacific Council in November 2017 requiring SSC review of the 
revised harvest specifications. Additionally, the SSC Groundfish 
Subcommittee will review draft sections relevant to groundfish 
management of the Pacific Council's 2018 Research and Data Needs 
document.
    No management actions will be decided by the SSC's Groundfish 
Subcommittee. The SSC Groundfish Subcommittee members' role will be 
development of recommendations and reports for consideration by the SSC 
and Pacific Council at the March meeting in Rohnert Park, CA.
    Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agendas 
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 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 Management Act, 
provided the public has been notified of the intent of the SSC 
Groundfish Subcommittee to take final action to address the emergency.
