SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

Section 302(g)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., states that 

each Council shall establish such 

advisory panels as are necessary or 

appropriate to assist it in carrying out its 

functions under the Act. For the 

purposes of this section, NMFS applies 

the above Council provision to the HMS 

Management Division (See Section 

303(g)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, 

which provides that the Secretary will 

prepare fishery management plans for 

HMS and consult with Advisory Panels 

under section 302(g) for such FMPs). As 

such, NMFS has established the SEDAR 

Pool under this section. The SEDAR 

Pool currently consists of 33 individuals 

who can be selected to review data and 

advise NMFS regarding the scientific 

information, including but not limited 

to data and models, used in stock 

assessments for oceanic sharks in the 

Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and 

Caribbean Sea. While the SEDAR Pool 

was created specifically for Atlantic 

oceanic sharks, it may be expanded to 

include other HMS, as needed. 

The primary purpose of the 

individuals in the SEDAR Pool is to 

review, at SEDAR workshops, the 

scientific information (including but not 

limited to data and models) used in 

stock assessments that are used to 

advise NMFS, as a delegate to the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), 

about the conservation and management 

of the Atlantic HMS, specifically but not 

limited to, Atlantic sharks. Individuals 

in the SEDAR Pool, if selected, may 

participate in the various data, 

assessment, and review workshops 

during the SEDAR process of any HMS 

stock assessment. In order to ensure that 

the peer review is unbiased, individuals 

who participated in a data and/or 

assessment workshop for a particular 

stock assessment will not be allowed to 

serve as reviewers for the same stock 

assessment. However, these individuals 

may be asked to attend the review 

workshop to answer specific questions 

from the reviewers concerning the data 

and/or assessment workshops. Members 

of the SEDAR Pool may serve as 

members of other APs concurrent with, 

or following, their service on the SEDAR 

Pool. 

Procedures and Guidelines 

A. Terms of Reference 

NMFS is updating the Terms of 

Reference for the SEDAR Pool, which 

were first established in 2010 with the 

formation of this advisory panel. The 

updated Terms of Reference allow 

invited SEDAR Pool members to send a 

designee to represent them and 

participate in the activities of the 

workshop, after following specified 

procedures, including written notice to 

the Chief of the HMS Management 

Division. The updated Terms of 

Reference also extend member tenure 

from 3 to 5 years, to allow continued 

participation by interested parties. The 

Terms of Reference are available at 

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/hms/

advisory_panels/sedar_ap/sedar_hms_

ap_terms_of_reference.pdf. 

B. Participants 

The SEDAR Pool is comprised of 

individuals representing the commercial 

and recreational fishing communities 

for Atlantic sharks, the environmental 

community active in the conservation 

and management of Atlantic sharks, and 

the academic community that have 

relevant expertise either with sharks or 

shark-like species and/or stock 

assessment methodologies for marine 

fish species. Members of the SEDAR 

Pool must have demonstrated 

experience in the fisheries, related 

industries, research, teaching, writing, 

conservation, or management of marine 

organisms. The distribution of 

representation among the interested 

parties is not defined or limited. 

Additional members of the SEDAR 

Pool may also include representatives 

from each of the five Atlantic Regional 

Fishery Management Councils, each of 

the 18 states, both the U.S. Virgin 

Islands and Puerto Rico, and each of the 

interstate commissions: The Atlantic 

States Marine Fisheries Commission 

and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries 

Commission. 

If NMFS requires additional members 

to ensure a diverse pool of individuals 

for data or assessment workshops, 

NMFS may request individuals to 

become members of the SEDAR Pool 

outside of the annual nomination 

period. 

Panel members serve at the discretion 

of the Secretary. Not all members will 

attend each SEDAR workshop. Rather, 

NMFS will invite certain members to 

participate at specific stock assessment 

workshops dependent on their ability to 

participate, discuss, and recommend 

scientific decisions regarding the 

species being assessed. If an invited 

SEDAR Pool member is unable to attend 

the workshop, the member may send a 

designee who may represent them and 

participate in the activities of the 

workshop. In order to ensure the 

designee meets the requirements of 

participating in the data and/or 

assessment workshop, the designee 

must receive written approval of the 

HMS Management Division Chief at 

least two weeks in advance of the 

beginning of the relevant data and/or 

assessment workshop. Written 

notification must include the name, 

address, telephone, email, and position 

of the individual designated. A designee 

may not name another designee. 

NMFS is not obligated to fulfill any 

requests (e.g., requests for an assessment 

of a certain species) that may be made 

by the SEDAR Pool or its individual 

members. Members of the SEDAR Pool 

who are invited to attend stock 

assessment workshops will not be 

compensated for their services but may 

be reimbursed for their travel-related 

expenses to attend such workshops. 

C. Nomination Procedures for 

Appointments to the SEDAR Pool 

Member tenure will be for 5 years. 

Nominations are sought for terms 

beginning early in 2015 and expiring in 

2020. Nomination packages should 

include: 

1. The name, address, phone number, 

and email of the applicant or nominee; 

2. A description of his/her interest in 

Atlantic shark stock assessments or the 

Atlantic shark fishery; 

3. A statement of background and/or 

qualifications; and 

4. A written commitment that the 

applicant or nominee shall participate 

actively and in good faith in the tasks 

of the SEDAR Pool, as requested. 

D. Meeting Schedule 

Individual members of the SEDAR 

Pool meet to participate in stock 

assessments at the discretion of the

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 238 / Thursday, December 11, 2014 / Notices 73557 

Office of Sustainable Fisheries, NMFS. 

Stock assessment timing, frequency, and 

relevant species will vary depending on 

the needs determined by NMFS and 

SEDAR staff. Currently, other than 

meetings needed to complete the 

ongoing smoothhound shark stock 

assessment, NMFS does not anticipate 

holding any stock assessment meetings 

for other Atlantic shark species in 2015. 

In 2016, NMFS anticipates starting a 

stock assessment on Atlantic blacktip 

sharks. During an assessment year, 

meetings and meeting logistics will be 

determined according to the SEDAR 

Guidelines. All meetings are open for 

observation by the public.
