Days 2 and 3 of the review will consist of technical presentations describing the technical aspects of the economics and human dimensions work at the Center given by analysts. The presentations will be organized thematically to describe work in areas such as commercial fisheries economics, recreational fisheries economics, ecosystem science, protected species and habitat management, and other themes. These presentations may begin on Day 1 if time permits. At the end of each day of presentations, public comment may be allowed. The schedule will also provide the review panel with one hour or more to deliberate in closed session. Days 4 and 5 will be devoted primarily to deliberation and preparation of the panelists’ recommendations in closed session as needed. The review panel and Center leadership will discuss the results of the review on Day 5. Draft reports should be complete by the end of Day 5. Stakeholders will be invited to participate as observers and to comment during the daily public comment sessions. Stakeholders providing comment during the review public comment sessions may also submit written public comments to the point of contact listed on the Center’s program review website. These comments will be provided to the review panel. Public comments are for the reviewers' edification and will not necessarily be specifically responded to by the agency or the review panel. At the close of the review, the panel and Center/ST leadership will discuss the results of the review in closed session. Additional personnel (e.g. Chief Scientist, Senior Scientist for Economics, ST Director, Center and ST staff, and program review coordinator) are expected to attend the closed session, and this will be communicated to the panel prior to the start of the review. Briefing and Background materials All background materials prepared by the Center/ST will be provided to the panel electronically through the Center/ST website no later than 2 weeks prior to the review. All presentations will be provided to the panel, through the website, 1 week before the review. Briefing books may be provided at the request of the panel chair. Products Each panelist will produce a succinct report detailing his or her observations of and recommendations for the themes provided within the TOR for the program review. (See Appendix 1 for template.) The chair may submit an individual report, but this is not a requirement. Individual reports are required for NMFS to comply with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA, 1972). The schedule will include ample time for deliberation and report writing by the panel and therefore draft reports will be submitted to the Center/ST
