The Gulf,
South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils, in conjunction
with NMFS and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf, South Atlantic,
and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils and NMFS Southeast Regional
Office, HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion during the
Assessment Webinar III are as follows:
Participants will review the
assessment modelling work to date.
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.
On January 20, 2025, President Trump
issued Executive Order 14172 to rename
the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of
America. Any reference to Gulf of
America red snapper in SEDAR reports
and other documents refers to the same
species of red snapper listed in 50 CFR
part 622, Appendix A, Table I (Gulf of
Mexico Reef Fish).

I. Abstract
This is a request for the renewal of an
approved information collection. Under
the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Reauthorization Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.), the Pacific coast groundfish
fishery is managed under the Pacific
Coast Groundfish Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) by the National Marine
Fisheries Service West Coast Region.
One sector of the groundfish fishery has
limited entry permits endorsed for trawl
gear and is managed under a catch share
program. The catch share program
implemented requirements for 100percent observer coverage at-sea and
dockside to ensure full accountability
for catch of allocated species and a level
playing field for all participants. To
provide a cost-effective alternative to
human observer coverage, vessels may
choose to use electronic monitoring
(EM). EM uses video cameras and
integrated sensors (e.g., GPS, motion
sensor, hydraulic pressure sensor) to
passively monitor fishing activity at-sea.
The video and sensor data can be
reviewed after the trip by an analyst
onshore to collect information about
location and amount of catch and
fishing effort. EM has the potential to
reduce monitoring costs because it does
not require deploying a person on the
vessel and the logistical and travel
expenses that generates.
This information collection includes a
permit application and associated
documents for EM service provider
companies, a permit application and
associated documents for vessels
participating in EM, and a logbook and
video hard drive submissions for
participating vessels. The information is
used to allow vessels to utilize EM in
lieu of the 100% human observer
requirement and for fishery catch
accounting to occur according to
regulations in place at 50 CFR 660
subpart J.
II. Method of Collection
Paper format, electronic (internet),
email, fax.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0785.
Form Number(s): None.
