Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of a public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pacific Fishery Management Council (Pacific Council) will 
convene a meeting of the Ecosystem Advisory Subpanel (EAS), which is 
open to the public.

DATES: The EAS will meet on Wednesday, February 16, 2011, beginning at 
8:30 a.m. and concluding at 5 p.m., or when business for the day is 
completed.

ADDRESSES: The EAS meeting will be held at the Hyatt Place--Portland 
Airport, Meeting Place 3, 9750 NE. Cascades Parkway, Portland, 
OR 97220; telephone: (503) 288-2808.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Burner, Staff Officer; telephone: 
(503) 820-2280.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Please note, this is not a public hearing; 
it is a work session for the primary purpose of reviewing a report of 
the Ecosystem Plan Development Team (EPDT) and considering 
recommendations to the Council on the development of an Ecosystem 
Fishery Management Plan (EFMP). At the September 2010 Council meeting, 
the Council tasked the EPDT with a review of the Council's four fishery 
management plans (FMPs) to identify existing ecosystem-based principles 
as well as common management needs that may benefit from a coordinated 
overarching EFMP framework. The EPDT is meeting January 26-27, 2011 and 
plans to provide its final report in advance of the EAS meeting. The 
EPDT report is also scheduled to be included in the March 2011 Council 
Briefing Book and be presented to the Council and its Advisory Bodies 
at the March 5-10, 2011 Council meeting in Vancouver, WA. EAS 
recommendations to the Council on the development of an EFMP are 
anticipated to be discussed on February 16th and may be presented to 
the Council in March.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained in the meeting agenda 
may come before the EAS for discussion, those issues may not be the 
subject of formal EAS action during this meeting. EAS 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 Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act, provided the public has been notified 
of the intent to take final action to address the emergency.
