SUMMARY: The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council (Council) has 
cancelled the public meeting of the Socioeconomic Assessment Panel that 
was scheduled for October 23-24, 1996. The meeting was announced in the 
Federal Register on October 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Antonio Lamberte, Economist; 
telephone: 813-228-2815.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The initial notice published on October 2, 
1996 (61 FR 51435). This meeting was intended to review available 
social and economic data on the Gulf of Mexico red snapper, vermilion, 
and amberjack fisheries and to determine the social and economic 
implications of the levels of acceptable biological catch (ABC) 
recommended by the Council's Reef Fish Stock Assessment Panel (SAP). 
Cancellation of the meeting is due to the fact that the SAP was unable 
to recommend ABC levels for the species mentioned above.
    The meeting will be rescheduled at a future date.

    Dated: October 18, 1996.
Gary C. Matlock,
Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
