SUMMARY: The New England Fishery Management Council (Council) is 
scheduling a public meeting of its Habitat Committee to consider 
actions affecting New England fisheries in the exclusive economic zone 
(EEZ). Recommendations from this group will be brought to the full 
Council for formal consideration and action, if appropriate.

DATES: This meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 28, 2018 at 9 a.m.

ADDRESSES: 
    Meeting address: The meeting will be held at the Four Points by 
Sheraton, One Audubon Road, Wakefield, MA 01880; phone: (781) 245-9300.
    Council address: New England Fishery Management Council, 50 Water 
Street, Mill 2, Newburyport, MA 01950.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas A. Nies, Executive Director, 
New England Fishery Management Council; telephone: (978) 465-0492.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Agenda

    The committee will discuss the Clam dredge framework, particularly 
review

[[Page 39987]]

fishing industry proposals and preliminary Habitat Plan Development 
Team evaluation for exemption areas in the Great South Channel Habitat 
Management Area. They will recommend alternatives to the Council for 
inclusion in the framework and for further analysis. The committee will 
receive an update on recent Essential Fish Habitat consultations from 
Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office staff. They also plan to 
discuss recent Council and National Marine Fisheries Services activity 
related to offshore wind engagement and research and monitoring plans 
under development by the states. Other business will 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.

Special Accommodations

    This meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities. 
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids 
should be directed to Thomas A. Nies, Executive Director, at (978) 465-
0492, at least 5 days prior to the date. This meeting will be recorded.
