    The specific objectives of the NWFSC Pre-Assessment Workshop 
webinar are to: (1) Present and describe data that may be included in 
the stock assessment modeling for rougheye rockfish, aurora rockfish, 
longspine thornyhead and shortspine thornyhead; (2) discuss the 
interpretation of data given historical and current fishing practices 
and changes in fishing regulations; (3) discuss approaches for 
improving stock assessment modeling efforts; and (4) identify data gaps 
and future research possibilities. No management actions will be 
decided in this workshop.
    All visitors to the National Marine Fisheries Service science 
centers should bring photo identification to the meeting location. 
Visitors who are foreign nationals (defined as a person who is not a 
citizen or national of the United States) will require additional

action at the workshop 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
