Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Stock Assessment of 

Alaska Sablefish; Peer Review Meeting 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of peer review meeting. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has requested the 

Center for Independent Experts (CIE) to 

conduct a peer review of the agency’s 

stock assessment of Alaskan sablefish. 

CIE is a group affiliated with the 

University of Miami that provides 

independent peer reviews of NMFS 

science nationwide, including reviews 

of stock assessments for fish and marine 

mammals. The Alaska sablefish stock 

assessment is an area–wide model that 

includes the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea 

and the Aleutian Islands. The CIE 

review will examine whether the 

assessment incorporates the best 

available scientific information and 

provides a reasonable approach to 

understanding the population dynamics 

and stock status of sablefish in Alaska. 

The public is invited to attend and 

observe the presentations and 

discussions between the CIE panel and 

the NMFS scientists who collected and 

processed the data, and designed the 

underlying model. 

DATES: The review will be held on 

March 17 through March 19, 2009, from 

9 AM to 5 PM Alaska Daylight Time. 

ADDRESSES: The review will be held at 

the NMFS Alaska Fisheries Science 

Center, Ted Stevens Marine Research 

Institute, 17109 Pt. Lena Loop Rd, 

Juneau, AK 99801. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Phillip Rigby, 907–789–6653. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CIE 

panel will consist of three peer 

reviewers who will assess materials 

related to the topic, participate in a 

review workshop with the NMFS 

scientists who developed the model and 

the analytical approach, and produce a 

report. This review will be highly 

technical in nature and will cover 

mathematical details of the analytical 

approach. Members of the public are 

invited to observe, and will be provided 

opportunities to contribute on March 17 

and 19. 

The final report is due on April 23, 

2009, and will consist of individual 

reports from each panelist and a 

summary report. The meeting chair will 

present the results of the review during 

the September 2009 North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council’s 

Groundfish Plan Team meeting that will 

be announced at a later time in the 

Federal Register. 

SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS 

These workshops will be physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to Phillip Rigby, 

907–789–6653, at least 10 working days 

prior to the meeting date.
