The items of discussion in the committee's agenda are as follows: 

## Agenda for Wednesday, June 17, 2009 

1. Discuss measures under consideration for Scallop Amendment 15. Specifically the advisors will consider potential fishing power adjustments for permit stacking and leasing alternatives that are under consideration for the limited access scallop fishery. The advisors will also provide input on other measures under consideration. 

2. They will review and discuss possible issues to consider in Framework Adjustment 21; the action that will implement specifications for the 2010 fishing year. The panel may discuss other business if time permits. The panel's recommendations on both Amendment 15 and Framework 21 will be forwarded to the Scallop Committee to consider at a later date.

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 Council's intent to take final action to address the emergency.
