SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this online meeting is for 
the MPC to consider two draft Programmatic Environmental Impact 
Statements (PEIS) anticipated for release in November. The Bureau of 
Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is developing a draft PEIS to analyze 
the potential impacts of, and mitigation measures for, floating 
offshore wind (OSW) energy development in the five leased areas off 
Humboldt and Morro Bays, CA. In addition, the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is developing a draft PEIS to 
identify areas in Federal waters off Southern California that would be 
suitable for future aquaculture development, and to analyze potential 
impacts to the human environment that may occur should aquaculture 
projects be proposed in Aquaculture Opportunity Areas. The MPC may 
consider other OSW or aquaculture issues as appropriate.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. Action will be restricted to those issues 
specifically listed in this document and any issues arising after 
publication of this document 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 intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.
