meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Pacific Council) 

and the NMFS Northwest Fisheries 

Science Center will convene an online 

pre-assessment workshop to review 

proposed data and modeling approaches 

to inform a groundfish stock assessment 

for yellowtail rockfish in the area north 

of 40°10′ N. latitude, scheduled for 

assessment during 2025. The workshop 

is open to the public. 

DATES: The pre-assessment workshop 

will be held Thursday, January 30, 2025, 

from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. (Pacific 

Standard Time) or until business for the 

day has been completed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the pre-assessment workshop 

is to review proposed data inputs, 

modeling approaches, and any other 

pertinent information to inform the 

2025 stock assessment for yellowtail 

rockfish in the area north of 40ß 10’ N. 

latitude. The goal of the pre-assessment 

workshop is to promote dialogue and a 

common understanding between 

assessment teams and data providers of 

the best data and analytical and 

modeling approaches applicable to 

these assessments. Stock assessment 

teams will solicit advice from data 

stewards, stakeholders, and fishery 

managers knowledgeable about these 

species. 

No management actions will be 

decided by the workshop participants. 

The participants’ role will be 

development of recommendations for 

consideration by the stock assessment 

teams assigned to conduct these 

assessments. The assessment for this 

stock is tentatively scheduled for peer 

review during a Stock Assessment 

Review (STAR) panel on May 19–23, 

2025. The Pacific Council and the 

Pacific Council’s Scientific and 

Statistical Committee are scheduled to 

consider this draft assessment for use in 

informing management decisions at 

their September 2025 meeting in 

Spokane, WA. 

Although nonemergency issues not 

contained in the workshops’ agendas 

may be discussed, those issues may not 

be the subject of formal action during 

these workshops. Action will be 

restricted to those issues specifically 

listed in this notice and any issues 

arising after publication of this notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf 

of Mexico, South Atlantic, and 

Caribbean Fishery Management 

Councils, in conjunction with NOAA 

Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commissions, 

have implemented the Southeast Data, 

Assessment and Review (SEDAR) 

process, a multi-step method for 

determining the status of fish stocks in 

the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a threestep process including: (1) Data 

Workshop; (2) Assessment Process 

utilizing webinars; and (3) Review 

Workshop. The product of the Data 

Workshop is a data report which 

compiles and evaluates potential 

datasets and recommends which 

datasets are appropriate for assessment 

analyses. The product of the Assessment 

Process is a stock assessment report 

which describes the fisheries, evaluates 

the status of the stock, estimates 

biological benchmarks, projects future 

population conditions, and recommends 

research and monitoring needs. The 

assessment is independently peer 

reviewed at the Review Workshop. The 

product of the Review Workshop is a 

Summary documenting panel opinions 

regarding the strengths and weaknesses 

of the stock assessment and input data. 

Participants for SEDAR Workshops are 

appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South 

Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery 

Management Councils and NOAA 

Fisheries Southeast Regional Office, 

Highly Migratory Species Management 

Division, and Southeast Fisheries 

Science Center. Participants include: 

data collectors and database managers; 

stock assessment scientists, biologists, 

and researchers; constituency 

representatives including fishermen, 

environmentalists, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); 

international experts; and staff of 

Councils, Commissions, and state and 

federal agencies. 

The items of discussion at the 

workshop are as follows: 

• Finalize any data decisions 

remaining 

• Continue discussion on modelling 

issues and decisions. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained in this agenda may come 

before this group for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Action 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 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, provided the public has been 

notified of the intent to take final action 

to address the emergency.
