Pacific Fishery Management Council; Public Meeting

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

ACTION: Notice of a public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council's (Pacific Council) 
Tule Chinook Workgroup (TCW) will hold a meeting to review initial work 
products and revise future work plans 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, February 10, 2011, from 9 
a.m. to 4 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; telephone: (503) 820-2280.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting of the TCW will involve review 
of initial work products and refining future work plans. 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 a fishery management plan (FMP) amendment 
process beginning after November 2011 to adopt the approach as a formal 
conservation objective in the Salmon FMP.
    Although non-emergency 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 this meeting. 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.
