SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

categorize the types and sources of 

information in use for groundfish 

management, consider what new types 

of information may be available in the 

future, specify review requirements for 

new information before it can become 

part of the decision-making process, 

consider guidelines for replacing older 

information with new or updated 

information, and recommend an 

implementation time line that facilitates 

the groundfish management process 

while considering the magnitude of 

potential harm to the species of concern 

and disruption to the fishery that can 

result from untimely incorporation of 

new information. Specific topics that 

will be discussed at this meeting will be 

a schedule of new observer data reports, 

development of a policy for mid-term 

optimum yield adjustments during a 

biennial management cycle, 

development of a policy for inseason 

management adjustments, and 

development of a policy for considering 

data and models when deciding 

biennial specifications and management 

measures. No management actions will 

be decided by the GIPC. The GIPC’s role 

will be development of 

recommendations for consideration by 

the Council at its March meeting in 

Sacramento, California.

Although nonemergency issues not 

contained in the meeting agenda may 

come before the GIPC for discussion, 

those issues may not be the subject of 

formal committee action during this 

meeting. Committee action will be 

restricted to those issues specifically
