representatives from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), who

discussion with the MPC and meeting participants. The meeting is open 
to all interested parties with a primary audience focus of fishery

Oregon Intergovernmental Renewable Energy Task Force (Task Force) 
meeting (see www.boem.gov/Oregon for meeting information). This MPC 
meeting follows the Task Force meeting, with the objective of continued 
outreach and engagement. BOEM may schedule or be invited to participate 
in additional sector-specific meetings to continue outreach and 
engagement efforts related to OSW planning activities. The meeting 
agenda and instructions on attending the meeting will be available on 
the Pacific Council's website in advance of the meeting.

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
