ACTION: Notice of permit modification request received and permit issued. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) is required to publish a notice of requests to modify permits issued to conduct activities regulated and permits issued under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978. NSF has published regulations under the Antarctic Conservation Act in the Code of Federal Regulations. This is the required notice of a requested permit modification and permit issued. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nature McGinn, ACA Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314; 703-292-8224; email: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation (NSF), as directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-541, 45 CFR 671), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas a requiring special protection. 1. NSF issued a permit (ACA 2016-008) to David Rootes, Environmental Manager, Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions, LLC, on October 23, 2015. The issued permit allows the applicant to operate a remote camp at Union Glacier, Antarctica, and provide logistical support services for scientific and other expeditions, film crews, and tourists. These activities include aircraft support, cache positioning, camp and field support, resupply, search and rescue, medevac, medical support and logistic support for some National Operators. A recent modification to this permit, dated October 6, 2017, permitted the permit holder to continue permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for the 2017-2018 Antarctic season. Now the permit holder proposes a permit modification to continue permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for the 2018-2019 Antarctic season. One addition is the establishment and operation of a small camp near the base of Mount Sporli. The Environmental Officer has reviewed the modification request and has determined that the amendment is not a material change to the permit, and it will have a less than a minor or transitory impact. Dates of Permitted Activities: October 1, 2018-February 28, 2020. 2. NSF issued a permit (ACA 2018-015) to Brandon Harvey, Director, Expedition Operations, Polar Latitudes, Inc., on November 2, 2017. The issued permit allows the permit holder to conduct waste management activities associated with coastal camping and operating remotely piloted aircraft systems. Now the permit holder proposes a permit modification to continue permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for the 2018-2019 Antarctic season. In addition, Hayley Shephard now holds the position of Director of Expedition Operations. The Environmental Officer has reviewed the modification request and has determined that the amendment is not a material change to the permit, and it will have a less than a minor or transitory impact. Dates of Permitted Activities: October 30, 2018-March 30, 2022. These permit modifications were issued on September 25, 2018. Suzanne H.
