of the revised Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) for review by the Council 
at its September 2021 meeting. The EWG will submit the final draft in 
the advance briefing book for the September meeting. As part of this 
online meeting the EWG Chair will provide a briefing for other advisory 
body members and members of the public to learn about updated sections 
in the final draft document. This should help to focus recommendations 
and comments on the revised FEP for Council consideration in providing 
further guidance to the EWG.
    The EWG will then discuss potential recommendations for the FEP 
Climate and Communities Initiative, which the Council is scheduled to 
discuss at its September meeting.
    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.
