SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

As required by section 14(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. 1013(a)(2), and after consultation with the General Services Administration, the Secretary of Commerce has determined that the renewal of the MAFAC is in the public interest. MAFAC was established by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) on February 17, 1971, to advise the Secretary on all living marine resource matters that are the responsibility of the Department of Commerce. This Committee advises and reviews the adequacy of living marine resources policies and programs to meet the needs of commercial and recreational fisheries, aquaculture, seafood trade, environmental, consumer, academic, tribal, governmental, and other national interests. The Committee and its charter must be renewed every 2 years from the date of the last renewal.

The Committee will function solely as an advisory body and in compliance with provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Copies of the Committee's renewal charter have been filed with the appropriate committees of the Congress and with the Library of Congress. The charter can be accessed online at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/partners/marine-fisheries-advisory-committee-charter.

Dated: April 15, 2024.

Acting Designated Federal Program Officer, Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee, National Marine Fisheries Service.
