SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The joint sub-panel, consisting of Mid-

Limited Methods (DLM) model for the Atlantic Blueline Tilefish stock 
north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina developed as part of the 
SouthEast Data, Assessment, and Review (SEDAR) 92 process. Based on the 
results of the DLM model, the sub-group will also develop preliminary 
overfishing limit (OFL) and acceptable biological catch (ABC) 
recommendations, including methods on how to partition the ABC between 
the Mid-Atlantic and South Atlantic jurisdictions. The sub-group will 
conduct the review and develop a report that addresses nine Terms of 
Reference that considers the assessment model methods, data quality and 
uncertainty, recent fishery-independent survey information, and the 
overall assessment and review process. The final report, sub-panel 
recommendations, and preliminary catch limits will be presented and 
reviewed at subsequent meetings by the full Mid-Atlantic and South 
Atlantic SSCs.
