SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RSC is hosting a workshop to develop 
recommendations for the possible redevelopment of the Council's RSA 
program. This is the final workshop in a series four that scoped out 
research, funding, and enforcement/administration issues and problems 
associated with the previous RSA program and identified possible 
considerations and improvements should a new program be redeveloped. 
During this workshop, participants will review and provide feedback on 
the recommendations identified from the first three workshops, draft 
program goals and objectives, and an initial draft strawman of a newly 
designed RSA program developed by the RSC. Based on the feedback and 
input received during the workshop, the RSC will then make final 
recommendations regarding the potential redevelopment of the RSA 
program to the Council for consideration later in 2022.
    A detailed agenda and background documents will be made available 
on the Council's website (www.mafmc.org) prior to the meeting.
