SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2016, NMFS adopted its EBFM Policy and 
EBFM Road Map. Both the Policy and the Road Map are part of NMFS's 
Policy Directive System, which guides work within NMFS, but does not 
have the force and effect of law and do not bind the public. The EBFM 
Policy was updated in the Policy Directive System in February 2024, 
following a scheduled 2023 review. The more detailed EBFM Road Map was 
also scheduled for and subject to a review in 2023, and NMFS made the 
draft Road Map available for public review in May 2024.
    During this interim CCC session, NMFS will brief the CCC on updates 
to the EBFM Policy and Road Map, and will discuss progress made to date 
on implementing these internal directives since 2016.
    The 2007 reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act established the CCC. The CCC consists 
of the chairs, vice chairs, and executive directors of each of the 
eight Regional Fishery Management Councils.
