[[Page 19143]]

Council's groundfish and CPS advisory bodies are encouraged to attend 
to prepare their recommendations to the Council. Proposed changes to 
the Terms of Reference were first considered in an online webinar on 
December 13, 2019. A report from that webinar was discussed by the SSC 
at their March meeting and their recommended changes to the ToR were 
adopted by the Pacific Council for public review. The Pacific Council 
is scheduled to adopt a final Terms of Reference at their June meeting 
in San Diego, California.
    No management actions will be decided by the SSC's Groundfish and 
CPS Subcommittees. The SSC Groundfish and CPS Subcommittees' members' 
role will be development of recommendations and reports for 
consideration by the SSC and Pacific Council at the June meeting in San 
Diego, CA.
    Although nonemergency issues not contained in the meeting agendas 
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 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 of the SSC 
Groundfish Subcommittee to take final action to address the emergency.
