during these meetings. CPSMT and/or CPSAS action will be restricted to 
those issues specifically listed in this document and any issues 
arising after publication of this document that require emergency 
action under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery

of the CPSMT's and/or CPSAS's intent to take final action to address 
the emergency.
