[[Page 10045]]

Scup, and Black Sea Bass Advisory Panels on April 2, 2019 (see DATES 
and ADDRESSES). The purpose of this meeting is to discuss potential 
changes to commercial management measures, including the state-by-state 
commercial quota allocations managed by the Atlantic States Marine 
Fisheries Commission, federal in-season closure regulations, and other 
measures. The Council recently initiated an amendment to consider these 
and other issues; however, they agreed to postpone development of 
management alternatives until later in the year after the Atlantic 
States Marine Fisheries Commission's Black Sea Bass Commercial Working 
Group has made further progress on options for revisions to the state-
by-state commercial quota allocations.

Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aid should
