SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the meeting will be to 
discuss the NMFS rule to implement provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) that require all fishery 
management plans (FMPs) to establish a standardized bycatch reporting 
methodology (SBRM) to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring 
in a fishery. The STT will focus on the Pacific salmon FMP and develop, 
as needed, potential SBRM language to meet the NMFS requirement. The 
STT may also discuss and prepare for future STT meetings and future 
meetings with the Pacific Council and its advisory bodies, including, 
but not limited to, such topics as the annual salmon methodology review 
and technical material from the Pacific Council's Ad-Hoc Southern 
Oregon/Northern California Coast coho workgroup.

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.
