SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf, South Atlantic, and Caribbean 
Fishery Management Councils, in conjunction with the National Marine 
Fisheries Service and the Atlantic and Gulf States Marine Fisheries 
Commissions have implemented the SEDAR process. SEDAR is a 
participatory process for developing, evaluating and reviewing 
information used for fisheries management advice. This multi-step 
process for determining the status of fish stocks in the Southeast 
Region may include (1) a Data stage, and (2) an Assessment stage, and 
(3) a Review stage. Each stage produces a report summarizing decisions 
made during that stage. A final stock assessment report is produced at 
the end of a SEDAR process documenting data sets used, model 
configurations and the opinions from the independent peer review. 
Participants for SEDAR projects are appointed by the Gulf, South 
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and National Marine 
Fisheries Service Southeast Regional Office, Highly Migratory Species 
Management Division, and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. 
Participants may include data collectors and database managers; stock 
assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency 
representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and non-
governmental organizations; International experts; and staff of 
Councils, Commissions, and state and Federal agencies.
    The items of discussion during the SEDAR 108 Introduction webinar 
are as follows:
    The lead assessment team will present new and old data that is 
expected to be used in the assessment.
    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.
