The SEDAR Steering Committee meets regularly to provide oversight of the SEDAR process and establish assessment priorities.

During this meeting the Steering Committee will receive reports on recent SEDAR activities, consider assessment scheduling for 2012-16, and discuss the SEDAR budget and procedures.

Actions will be restricted to those issues specifically identified in this notice and any issues arising after publication of this notice that require emergency action under Section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to address the emergency.
