Agenda

The Risk Policy Working Group will receive an update on simulation testing of the Risk Policy. They will also discuss use of the Risk Policy in upcoming Council actions, focusing on the development of any refinements and/or clarifications to the Risk Policy Matrix and guidance for Plan Development Teams for 2025. The group will discuss and make recommendations on the continued development of the Risk Policy, and review results and feedback from the Risk Policy weightings exercise at the April Council meeting. Other business will be discussed, if necessary.

Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject of formal action during this meeting. Council 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 Council's intent to take final action to address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting will be recorded. Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy of the recording is available upon request.
