SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Members of the Spiny Lobster AP will meet 
from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on April 20, 2011.
    The Spiny Lobster AP will receive an overview of Amendment 10 to 
the Spiny Lobster Fishery Management Plan for the Gulf and South 
Atlantic Regions. The amendment meets the requirements of the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to establish Annual 
Catch Limits and Accountability Measures for Caribbean spiny lobster 
and contains additional management alternatives addressing: 
modifications to the Fishery Management Unit; development or updates to 
framework procedure and protocol for Enhanced Cooperative Management of 
spiny lobster; regulations regarding the possession and handling of 
undersized Caribbean spiny lobsters or ``shorts'' as attractants for 
the commercial trap fishery; requirements for tailing permits, sector 
allocations; limiting spiny lobster fishing in some areas to protect 
threatened Acropora corals; and requirements for gear marking for trap 
lines. The AP will discuss the amendment and provide recommendations.
    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 this meeting. 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.

Special Accommodations

    The meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities. 
Requests for auxiliary aids should be directed to the council office
