    The IFQ Committee agenda will include the review of the Initial 
Review Analysis of an Omnibus IFQ amendment package. Under 
consideration in this package are proposed changes to regulations 
regarding the sablefish pot fishery: Including gear specifications, 
buoy requirements, pot limits, and gear retrieval. Additionally, this 
package considers authorizing jig gear as a legal gear type to harvest 
sablefish IFQ and temporarily removing the Adak CQE residency 
requirement. There will be time scheduled on the agenda for NMFS update 
on IFQ related issues and the Committee may also address other items of 
business as necessary. The agenda is subject to change, and the latest
