FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Atran, Population Dynamics 
Statistician; Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council; telephone: 
(813) 348-1630.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Annual Catch Limit/Annual Catch Target 
Control Rule Working Group will review and further develop a draft 
control rule to be included in the Generic Annual Catch Limits/
Accountability Measures Amendment. The control rule will be used by the 
Council in setting a buffer that accounts for management uncertainty 
between acceptable biological catch and annual catch limit, or between 
annual catch limit and annual catch target. For fisheries that have the 
annual catch limit allocated into sectors, the control rule will 
determine the buffer for each sector individually.

    Although other non-emergency issues not on the agenda may come 
before the Annual Catch Limit/Annual Catch Target Control Rule Working 
Group for discussion, in accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act, those issues may not be the subject of 
formal action during these meetings. Actions of the Annual Catch Limit/
Annual Catch Target Control Working Group will be restricted to those 
issues specifically identified in the agenda 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 Council's 
intent to take action to address the emergency.
