SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the methodology review 
meeting is to discuss and review proposed changes to analytical methods 
used in salmon management. Three topics were approved for consideration 
of review at the September 2019 Pacific Council meeting: (1) Conduct 
the technical analysis needed to inform a change of the salmon 
management boundary line from latitude 40[deg]05' (Horse Mountain, 
California) five miles north to latitude 40[deg]10', (2) Examine the 
data and models used to forecast impacts on Columbia River summer 
Chinook to determine whether a change in methodology is warranted, and 
(3) Provide documentation of the abundance forecast approach used for 
Willapa Bay natural coho.
    Results and recommendations from this methodology review meeting 
will be presented at the November 2019 Pacific Council meeting where 
the Pacific Council is scheduled to take final action on the proposals. 
A draft of the updated Fishery Regulation Assessment Model user manual 
provided by the Pacific Council's Model Evaluation Workgroup may also 
be discussed. If time and interest allows, additional topics may be 
discussed, including, but not limited to, future Pacific Council agenda 
items.
    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.
