fish a maximum of thirty-two 50-fathom 

(91.44-m) gillnets in strings made up of 

4 nets each. Two of the nets in each 

four-net string would be standard 6.5- 

inch (16.51-cm) mesh and two would be 

6.0-inch (15.24-cm) mesh. One net of 

each mesh size (6.5-inch [16.51-cm] and 

6.0-inch [15.24-cm]) in each string 

would be rigged with a 30-inch (76.2- 

cm) raised webbing section along the 

bottom. Two to three hauls of the nets 

are expected during each day at sea with 

an average soak time of 6 hours for each 

set. 

A CFF researcher or technician would 

accompany all trips that occur under 

this EFP to identify all fish caught, as 

well as measure and weigh catch. 

Undersized fish would be discarded as 

quickly as possible after sampling. All 

Northeast multispecies of legal size 

would be landed, and all catch and 

estimated discards would be attributed 

to the vessel’s sector annual catch 

entitlement, consistent with standard 

catch accounting procedures. 

If approved, the applicant may 

request minor modifications and 

extensions to the EFP throughout the 

year. EFP modifications and extensions 

may be granted without further notice if 

they are deemed essential to facilitate 

completion of the proposed research 

and have minimal impacts that do not 

change the scope or impact of the 

initially approved EFP request.

Public Meeting 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notice; public meeting. 

SUMMARY: NMFS and the Western 

Pacific Fishery Management Council 

(Council) will convene a Western 

Pacific Stock Assessment Review 

(WPSAR) of a 2017 Benchmark Stock 

Assessment for the Main Hawaiian 

Islands (MHI) Deep 7 Bottomfish 

Complex. 

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

for meeting dates and times and daily 

agenda. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at 

the NMFS Honolulu Service Center at 

Pier 38, 1129 N. Nimitz Hwy., Suite 220, 

Honolulu, HI 96817.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scientists 

from the NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries 

Science Center (PIFSC) conducted a 

benchmark stock assessment of the MHI 

Deep 7 bottomfish complex. This 

benchmark assessment incorporated 

new data in the form of fisheryindependent biomass estimates, and 

also followed data filtering 

recommendations from a series of five 

community workshops that involved 

fishermen, managers, and scientists on 

best practices for filtering bottomfish 

commercial catch and effort data from 

State of Hawaii commercial catch 

reports. Because of these workshops, 

PIFSC scientists are now able to better 

link individual fishermen’s catch 

reports further back in time, and this 

linking is newly applied in this 

benchmark stock assessment. 

This assessment used commercial 

data for the years 1948–2015, and 

assessed Deep 7 bottomfish by building 

on the modeling framework from the 

previous three assessments, but with 

improved data and data filtering as 

previously described, along with 

improvements to catch-per-unit-effort 

(CPUE) standardization, and other 

modeling approaches. The assessment 

also estimates unreported catches using 

catch and effort data following methods 

similar to those applied in previous 

assessments. After applying best 

practices from the workshop 

recommendations for filtering for CPUE 

calculation, PIFSC scientists applied 

model selection techniques to select the 

best structural form to standardize 

CPUE. CPUE in the model was split into 

two time series, fishing years 1948– 

2003, and fishing years 2003–2015 to 

accommodate new effort reporting from 

a change in reporting form by the State 

in October 2002.
