SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The original notice published in the Federal Register on August 1, 2023 (88 FR 50113). This notice changes the time of the GAP meeting which is now a joint meeting with the MPC and agenda of the meetings.

The primary purpose of the GAP, MPC, and GMT webinar meetings is to prepare for the Pacific Council's September 2023 meeting agenda items. The GAP, MPC, and GMT will discuss items related to the advisory body's particular management items and administrative matters on the Pacific Council's agenda, including the recently announced draft Wind Energy Areas off the Oregon Coast. The GAP, MPC, and GMT may also address other assignments as directed by the Pacific Council. No management actions will be decided by the GAP, MPC, and GMT.
