SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the groundfish methodology 

review meeting is a follow-up to the 

prior review recommendations from the 

May 9, 2023 meeting, which aimed to 

evaluate proposed data inputs, 

modeling approaches, potential 

improvements, and any other pertinent 

information related to the sablefish trip 

limit model used in commercial nontrawl fisheries management. This review 

is planned in preparation for the 2025– 

2026 biennial groundfish management 

cycle. The results of this review are not 

considered final until reviewed by the 

full SSC at a future Pacific Council 

meeting. 

No management actions will be 

decided by the meeting participants. 

The participants’ role will be the 

development of recommendations and 

reports for consideration by the SSC and 

the Pacific Council at a future Pacific 

Council meeting. The Pacific Council 

and Scientific and Statistical Committee 

will consider methodology review 

recommendations for use in informing 

management decisions at their 

November 2023 meeting in Garden 

Grove, California. 

Although nonemergency issues not 

contained in the meeting agenda may be 

discussed, those issues may not be the 

subject of formal action during this

the intent of the workshop participants 

to take final action to address the 

emergency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The MMPA prohibits the ‘‘take’’ of 

marine mammals, with certain 

exceptions. Section 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) 

of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) 

directs the Secretary of Commerce (as 

delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon 

request, the incidental, but not 

intentional, taking of small numbers of 

marine mammals by U.S. citizens who 

engage in a specified activity (other than 

commercial fishing) within a specified 

geographical region if certain findings 

are made and either regulations are 

proposed or, if the taking is limited to 

harassment, a notice of a proposed IHA 

is provided to the public for review. 

Authorization for incidental takings 

shall be granted if NMFS finds that the
