SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this planning session is to 
discuss the schedule and workload associated with the development of 
five salmon rebuilding plans in 2018. The STT will discuss a tentative 
timeline and meeting schedule for completing the plans and 
contributions of entities outside the STT in the development of 
rebuilding plans. This webinar is intended to address the logistics of 
developing the plans; detailed discussions of actual content will occur 
at future meetings. A proposed agenda will be posted once available. If 
time and interest allows, additional pertinent topics may be discussed, 
including, but not limited to, future Council agenda items.
    Three coho stocks (Queets coho, Strait of Juan de Fuca coho, and 
Snohomish coho) and two Chinook stocks (Sacramento River fall Chinook 
and Klamath River fall Chinook) were found to meet the criteria for 
being classified as overfished in the Pacific Council's Review of 2017 
Ocean Salmon Fisheries, released in February 2018. Under the tenants of 
the Salmon Fishery Management Plan (FMP), a rebuilding plan is required 
for each of these stocks. Among other requirements stipulated in 
Chapter 3 of the FMP, the STT is to propose a rebuilding plan for 
Council consideration within one year.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may be discussed, those issues may not be the subject of formal action 
during this meeting. 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 Conservation and 
Management Act, provided the public has been notified of the intent to 
take final action to address the emergency.

Special Accommodations

    The public listening station is physically accessible to people 
with disabilities. Requests for sign language interpretation or other 
auxiliary aids should be directed to Mr. Kris
