SEDAR is a three-step process including:
(1)Data Workshop;
(2)Assessment Process including a workshop and webinars; and
(3)Review Workshop. The product of the Data Workshop is a data report which compiles and evaluates potential datasets and recommends which datasets are appropriate for assessment analyses. The product of the Assessment Process is a stock assessment report which describes the fisheries, evaluates the status of the stock, estimates biological benchmarks, projects future population conditions, and recommends research and monitoring needs. The assessment is independently peer reviewed at the Review Workshop. The product of the Review Workshop is a Consensus 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 of Mexico, South Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery Management Councils and NOAA Fisheries Southeast Regional Office and Southeast Fisheries Science Center. Participants include: data collectors and database managers; stock assessment scientists, biologists, and researchers; constituency representatives including fishermen, environmentalists, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs); international experts; and staff of Councils, Commissions, and state and federal agencies. *SEDAR 33 Assessment Workshop Schedule:* January 8, 2014 and January 15, 2014; SEDAR 33 Assessment Workshop Webinars All webinars will begin at 1 p.m. eastern time, will last approximately four hours, and will be conducted using GoToWebinar. Participants will review modeling efforts, suggest sensitivity analyses, and decide on an appropriate model run or set of model runs to put forward to the Review Workshop for each species.

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.
