Agenda

    The Advisory Panel 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 
measures to improve flexibility and optimize yield in the herring 
fishery. The Panel 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. Other business will be discussed 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 
under section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, provided the public 
has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to 
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 
recording is available upon request.
