SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Gulf
of Mexico, South Atlantic, and
Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report that 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 that
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 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,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff
of Councils, Commissions, and State
and Federal agencies.
The items of discussion in the
webinar are as follows:
Participants will review SRFS data
available for use in the assessment of
Gulf of Mexico red grouper and make
recommendations on its use.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically

I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information.
The data collection is sponsored by
DOC/NOAA/National Weather Service
(NWS)/Analyze, Forecast, and Support
Office (AFS), National Fire Weather
Program. Under the Disaster Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act of
2022, Congress charged NOAA/NWS to
improve (a) Hurricane intensity and
track forecasting, including through
deployment of unmanned ocean
observing platforms and enhanced data
assimilation; (b) precipitation and flood
prediction, forecasting, and mitigation
capabilities; and (c) wildfire research,
prediction, detection, forecasting,
monitoring, data management, and
communication and engagement. Based
on this directive, the NWS is conducting
this project to improve decision support
services for fire weather products and
services. By using social science
methods and risk communication
expertise, the NWS seeks to identify
how probabilistic weather information
can most effectively influence firerelated decision-making to protect lives
and property and enhance the economy.
This data collection will include an online survey and virtual focus groups.
The survey sample will be a nonrepresentative panel that will draw
primarily from the Western, Southern
Plains, and Southeastern portions of the
United States. The focus groups will be
conducted with Public Information
Officers and Fire Weather Practitioners
at the national, regional, state, and local
levels based on contacts known to the
NWS. The insights and findings derived
from this data collection will be used to
develop Impact Decision Support
Services’ products and messages.
II. Method of Collection
Both the survey and the focus groups
will be conducted electronically via
video conferencing technology based on
schedules and participant preference.
