support for library services in the U.S. 

Using a population based formula, more 

than $150 million is distributed among 

the State Library Administrative 

Agencies (SLAAs) every year. SLAAs 

are official agencies charged by law with 

the extension and development of 

library services, and they are located in: 

• Each of the 50 States of the United 

States, and the District of Columbia; 

• The Territories (the Commonwealth 

of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, 

Guam, American Samoa, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands); and 

• The Freely Associated States (the 

Republic of the Marshall Islands, the 

Federated States of Micronesia, and the 

Republic of Palau). 

Each year, more than 1,500 Grants to 

States projects support the purposes and 

priorities outlined in the Library 

Services and Technology Act (LSTA). 

(See 20 U.S.C. 9121 et seq.) SLAAs may 

use the funds to support statewide 

initiatives and services, and they may 

also distribute the funds through 

competitive subawards (e.g. subgrants or 

cooperative agreements) to public, 

academic, research, school, or special 

libraries or library consortia (for-profit 

and Federal libraries are not eligible). 

Each SLAA must submit a plan that 

details library services goals for a fiveyear period. (20 U.S.C § 9134). SLAAs 

must also conduct a five-year evaluation 

of library services based on that plan. 

These plans and evaluations are the 

foundation for improving practice and 

informing policy. Each SLAA receives 

IMLS funding to support the five year 

period through a series of overlapping, 

two year grant awards.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Notice of Permit Modification Received 

Under the Antarctic Conservation Act 

of 1978 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

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: ACApermits@nsf.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Science Foundation (NSF), as 

directed by the Antarctic Conservation 

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 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. 

NSF issued a permit (ACA 2017–013) 

to George Watters on October 21, 2016. 

The issued permit allows the applicant 

to conduct waste management 

associated with ship- and shore-based 

research and logistic activities 

conducted by the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 

Antarctic Marine Living Resources 

(AMLR) Program. The permit covers the 

deployment of a variety of 

oceanographic instruments. 

On March 30, 2018, a permit 

modification was issued providing 

further details about two types of 

oceanographic instruments that would 

be deployed during future research 

cruises. Up to six moorings would be 

deployed, as described in the original 

permit, and up to three Slocum gliders 

would be deployed and retrieved. 

Now, the permit holder has requested 

to a further modification to deploy up 

to seven (7) subsurface moorings of the 

type previously described. 

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: 

December 29, 2020–July 30, 2021. 

The permit modification was issued 

on December 29, 2020.
