of members from the states of Alaska and Washington who represent the
broad range fishing and conservation interests in anadromous and

ecologically related species occurring in the high seas of the North
Pacific Ocean.
The upcoming Panel meeting will focus on two major topics: (1)
Review of the agenda for the 2012 annual meeting of the NPAFC (October

at the NPAFC meeting. Background material is available from the point
of contact noted above and by visiting www.npafc.org.
This announcement might appear in the Federal Register less than 15

an exceptional circumstance for such publication, in that this advisory
committee meeting must be held on October 1st in order to prepare for
the international NPAFC to be convened on October 7th.
Dated: September 13, 2012.
