Pacific Fishery Management Council; Tule Chinook Workgroup 
Meeting

AGENCY:  National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION:  Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Pacific Council) 
Tule Chinook Workgroup (TCW) will hold a meeting to discuss issues and 
make assignments relative to developing an abundance-based harvest 
management approach for Columbia River natural tule chinook . This 
meeting of the TCW is open to the public.

DATES:  The meeting will be held Thursday, September 30, 2010, from 9 
a.m. to 1 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the Pacific Council Office, 
Large Conference Room, 7700 NE Ambassador Place, Suite 101, Portland, 
OR 97220-1384.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Chuck Tracy, Salmon Management Staff 
Officer, Pacific Fishery Management Council, telephone: 503-820-2280.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This first meeting of the TCW will be 
primarily an organizational meeting. Eventually, TCW work products will 
be reviewed by the Council, and if approved, would be submitted to NMFS 
for possible consideration in the next Lower Columbia River tule 
biological opinion for ocean salmon seasons in 2012 and beyond, and 
distributed to State and Federal recovery planning processes. In the 
event a usable approach emerges from this process, the Council may 
consider an FMP amendment process beginning after November 2011 to 
adopt the approach as a formal conservation objective in the Salmon 
FMP.
    Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may come before the TCW for discussion, those issues may not be the 
subject of formal action during these meetings. Action will be 
restricted to those issues specifically listed 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 intent to take final action to address the emergency.

    These meetings are physically accessible to people with
