Agenda

    The Committee will meet to continue development of Framework 9, an 
action to implement a rebuilding plan for Atlantic herring that was 
declared overfished, and potentially adjust herring accountability. The 
Committee will also continue development of Framework 7, an action to 
protect spawning Atlantic herring on Georges Bank. They will discuss 
2020-2024 herring research priority recommendations for Council 
consideration. They will discuss other business, as necessary.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come 
before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Council 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

address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting 
will be recorded. Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy of the
