SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries 
Organization (NAFO) is a regional fisheries management organization 
that coordinates scientific study and cooperative management of the 
fisheries resources of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, excluding salmon, 
tunas/marlins, whales and sedentary species (e.g., shellfish). NAFO was 
established in 1979 by the Convention on Future Multilateral 
Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries. The United States 
acceded to the Convention in 1995, and has participated actively in 
NAFO since that time. In 2005, NAFO launched a reform effort to amend 
the Convention in order bring the Organization more in line with the 
principles of modern fisheries management. As a result of these 
efforts, the Amendment to the Convention on Future Multilateral 
Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries entered into force in 
May 2017.
    NAFO currently has 12 Contracting Parties, including Canada, Cuba, 
Denmark (in respect of Faroe Islands and Greenland), European Union, 
France (in respect of St. Pierre and Miquelon), Iceland, Japan, Norway, 
Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Ukraine and the United States.
    Membership in the NCC is open to representatives from the New 
England and Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils, the States 
represented on those Councils, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries 
Commission, the fishing industry, the seafood processing industry, and 
others knowledgeable and experienced in the conservation and management 
of fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Members shall be 
appointed to a 2-year term and are eligible for reappointment. The NCC 
is exempted from the Federal Advisory Committee Act. NCC members are 
invited to attend all non-executive meetings of the U.S. Commissioners 
and at such meetings are given an opportunity to examine and to be 
heard on all proposed programs of study and investigation, reports, 
recommendations, and regulations of issues relating to the Act and 
proceedings of NAFO. In addition, NCC members may attend all public 
meetings of the NAFO Commission and any other meetings to which they 
are invited.
    If you are interested in becoming a member of the NCC, please
