management plans (FMPs). In addition, 

the MSA mandates that each SSC shall 

provide its Council ongoing scientific 

advice for fishery management 

decisions, including recommendations 

for acceptable biological catch (ABC), 

preventing overfishing, maximum 

sustainable yield, and achieving 

rebuilding targets, and reports on stock 

status and health, bycatch, habitat 

status, social and economic impacts of 

management measures, and 

sustainability of fishing practices. On 

January 16, 2009, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) issued final 

revised guidelines for National Standard 

1 (NS1) of the MSA on how to comply 

with the new annual catch limit (ACL) 

requirements for ending overfishing of 

federal fisheries. The law requires that 

ACLs be implemented by 2011. The 

primary objective of this workshop is to 

discuss best practices and approaches 

for setting scientifically based catch 

limits.

separate investigations to determine 

whether increased imports into the 

United States of articles like or directly

each firm contributed importantly to the 

total or partial separation of the firm’s 

workers, or threat thereof, and to a 

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.
