SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At its June and September 1996 meetings, the

meet with interested industry members to discuss ideas relating to the 
electronic reporting system currently under development by the Alaska 
Region. One such meeting was held in Seattle on August 8, 1996.
    A second meeting is warranted to discuss ideas and issues 
pertaining to this initiative. NMFS therefore has scheduled a public 
meeting to take place in Seattle (see DATES and ADDRESSES) and 
encourages fishermen, processors, and others interested in electronic 
reporting to attend.
