directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95-541, 45 
CFR 670), 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

samples from freshwater lakes and ephemeral ponds. The permit holder 
and agents are required to adhere to the management plans for each of 
the ASPAs that they enter. The permit is set to expire on March 1, 
2019.
    Now the permit holder proposes a permit modification to extend the 
expiration date to March 15, 2019. The
