Agenda

    The New England Fishery Management Council's Advisory Panel members 
are invited to participate in a webinar to learn more about proposed 
revisions to the NEFMC's Risk Policy. Advisory Panel members will meet 
to review the Council's current Risk Policy. They will receive a 
presentation on a newly developed Risk Policy concept and revised Risk 
Policy Statement. The Members will also learn about plans to implement 
the revised Risk Policy (if approved by the Council at the September

necessary.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come 
before this Council for discussion, those issues may not be the subject 
of formal action during this meeting. Council action will be restricted

has been notified of the Council's intent to take final action to 
address the emergency. The public also should be aware that the meeting 
will be recorded. Consistent with 16 U.S.C. 1852, a copy of the
