Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2018 / Notices

report from the herring and mackerel
fishery electronic monitoring project, as
well as any associated correspondence.
The group will consider whether
electronic monitoring/portside sampling
is an adequate substitute for at-sea
monitoring coverage aboard mid-water
trawl vessels, and make
recommendations to the Council to
consider as they relate to the IndustryFunded Monitoring Amendment. The
group will also discuss how recent river
herring/shad bycatch accountability
measures triggered in the mackerel
fishery could impact the 2018 herring
fishing season. The Mid-Atlantic
Fishery Management Council is
potentially considering measures to
address this issue in the 2019–21
specifications process. Other business
may be discussed if necessary.
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 these meetings. Action
will be restricted to those issues
specifically listed in this notice and any
issues arising after publication of this
notice that require emergency action
under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided the public has
been notified of the Council’s intent to
take final action to address the
emergency.
