SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SEDAR procedural workshops provide an 
opportunity for focused discussion and deliberation on topics that 
arise in multiple assessments and are structured to develop best 
practices for addressing common issues across assessments. The SEDAR 
Steering Committee agreed that previously completed procedural 
workshops were effective and that similar workshops should be held to 
address other issues that affect multiple assessments. Continuing to 
address such global issues is recognized as important to continuing 
improvements in efficiency and quality.
    The 8th procedural workshop will consider methods of addressing the 
development for fishery-independent indices of abundance under changing 
survey designs. Participants will prepare a SEDAR procedures document 
addressing their recommendations that will be used to guide future 
SEDAR assessments.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in this agenda may come 
before this group for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Action will be restricted to 
those issues specifically identified in this notice and any issues 
arising after publication of this notice 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.
