Sec.  665.609  Annual reports

    (a) Annual reports. By July 31 of each year, a Council-appointed 
coral reef ecosystem plan team will prepare an annual report on coral 
reef fisheries of the western Pacific region. The report will contain, 
among other things, fishery performance data, summaries of new 
information and assessments of need for Council action.
    (b) Recommendation for Council action. (1) The Council will evaluate 
the annual report and advisory body recommendations and may recommend 
management action by either the state/territorial/commonwealth 
governments or by Federal regulation;
    (2) If the Council believes that management action should be 
considered, it will make specific recommendations to the Regional 
Administrator after considering the views of its advisory bodies.
