North Pacific Fishery Management Council; Statement of 
Organization, Practices and Procedures

    Pursuant to section 302(f)(6) of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (Magnuson Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., each 
Regional Fishery Management Council (Council) is responsible for 
carrying out its functions under the Magnuson Act, in accordance with 
such uniform standards as are prescribed by the Secretary of Commerce 
(Secretary). Further, each Council must make available to the public a 
statement of its organization, practices and procedures (SOPP).
    Secretarial guidelines for the organization, practices, procedures, 
and operations of the Councils established by the Magnuson Act are set 
forth in 50 CFR part 601 and 605. Section 605(g)(2)(i) allows Councils 
to establish in their SOPPs the maximum number of days and contribution 
per day of unused sick leave a Council will pay to an employee's 
retirement fund upon their retirement or death.
    The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) approved a 
revision to the NPFMC's SOPP, which was originally published on March 
1, 1977 (42 FR 11858). The revision specifies that a maximum of 100 
days of unused sick leave may be converted into retirement benefits 
upon an employee's retirement or death. Interested parties may obtain a 
copy of the NPFMC's revised SOPP by contacting Clarence G. Pautzke, 
Executive Director, North Pacific Fishery Management Council, P.O. Box 
102136, Anchorage, AK 99501; telephone [phone].

    Dated: May 24, 1995.
Richard H. Schaefer,
Director, Office of Fisheries Conservation and Management, National 
Marine Fisheries Service.
