SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the meeting is to conduct a 
salmon methodology review to discuss and review proposed changes to 
analytical methods used in salmon management. At its September 2022 
meeting, the Pacific Council adopted the following priority items for 
the 2022 Salmon Methodology Review.
    1. Technical review of the updates associated with `Round 7.1.1' of 
the Fishery Regulation Assessment Model (FRAM) base period as they 
relate to modeled abundances of Chinook salmon stocks used in 
determining the southern resident killer whale (SRKW) Chinook salmon 
abundance threshold.
    2. Technical review of the updates to Chinook salmon ocean 
distribution models that derive from two publications (Shelton et al. 
2019, 2021) and are used to apportion the modeled abundance of Chinook 
salmon stocks among ocean regions.
    3. Discussion of whether the Sacramento Index forecast should be 
expressed as a mean or median.
    4. Review of the basis behind the Sacramento River Fall Chinook 
conservation objective.
    5. FRAM technical detail documentation.
    If time allows additional topics may be discussed, including but 
not limited to future Pacific Council agenda items and salmon related 
topics of interest to the STT and SSC Salmon Subcommittee.
    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.
