Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 14 / Monday, January 25, 2021 / Notices 6921 

dispose of records they no longer need 

to conduct agency business. We invite 

public comments on these records 

schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 

3303a(a), and list the schedules at the 

end of this notice by agency and 

subdivision requesting disposition 

authority. 

In addition, this notice lists the 

organizational unit(s) accumulating the 

records or states that the schedule has 

agency-wide applicability. It also 

provides the control number assigned to 

each schedule, which you will need if 

you submit comments on that schedule. 

We have uploaded the records 

schedules and accompanying appraisal 

memoranda to the regulations.gov 

docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ 

documents. Each records schedule 

contains a full description of the records 

at the file unit level as well as their 

proposed disposition. The appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule includes 

information about the records. 

We will post comments, including 

any personal information and 

attachments, to the public docket 

unchanged. Because comments are 

public, you are responsible for ensuring 

that you do not include any confidential 

or other information that you or a third 

party may not wish to be publicly 

posted. If you want to submit a 

comment with confidential information 

or cannot otherwise use the 

regulations.gov portal, you may contact 

request.schedule@nara.gov for 

instructions on submitting your 

comment. 

We will consider all comments 

submitted by the posted deadline and 

consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we will post on regulations.gov a 

‘‘Consolidated Reply’’ summarizing the 

comments, responding to them, and 

noting any changes we have made to the 

proposed records schedule. We will 

then send the schedule for final 

approval by the Archivist of the United 

States. You may elect at regulations.gov 

to receive updates on the docket, 

including an alert when we post the 

Consolidated Reply, whether or not you 

submit a comment. If you have a 

question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.

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

establish such a permit system to 

designate Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas. 

Application Details 

Permit Application: 2021–008 

1. Applicant: Michael Gooseff, 4001 

Discovery Dr., Boulder, CO 80303. 

Activity for Which Permit is 

Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially 

Protected Areas. The applicant and 

agents would enter ASPA 131, Canada 

Glacier, Lake Fryxell, to continue 

operation of a previously installed, 

continuously recording stream gauge 

station, perform maintenance, conduct 

stream flow measurements and collect 

water quality samples near the stream 

gauge site. The applicant would collect 

water quality samples of the melt-water 

of the Canada Glacier and along the 

length of the stream to study in-stream 

biogeochemical processes. The 

applicant would collect a maximum of 

five moss samples per year using a 3 cm 

corer to a depth of about 3 cm and a 

maximum of five soil samples of 

approximately 200 g per year from 

which to extract nematodes. 

Photography, LIDAR, and other survey 

and monitoring techniques may be used 

to detect changes in the stream bed and 

algal mat distribution over time, and/or 

to monitor the change in the stream 

gauge system through time. The 

applicant and agents would also to enter 

ASPA 172, Lower Taylor Glacier and 

Blood Falls, to continue measurements 

of the Santa Fe Stream including: 

Stream-flow using velocity meters; pH, 

temperature, and conductivity via 

meters; and collection of water quality 

samples. The collection of water from 

the Blood Falls area would occur on the 

glacial moraine, not the glacier itself, 

and the sample would be small (<1 L) 

and comprised of both brine reservoir 

discharge (when present) and surface 

ice melt-water. 

Location: ASPA 131, Canada Glacier, 

Lake Fryxell, Taylor Valley, Victoria 

Land; ASPA 172, Lower Taylor Glacier 

and Blood Falls, Taylor Valley, 

McMurdo Dry Valleys, Victoria Land; 

McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica.

Activity for Which Permit is 

Requested: Take, Harmful Interference, 

Enter Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas, Import into USA. The applicant 

proposes to study the foraging behavior, 

habitat utilization, and physiology of 

leopard seals, and potentially additional 

Antarctic seal species, near Cape 

Shirreff in the Antarctic Peninsula. 

Additional seal species could include: 

Crabeater seals, Weddell seals, Antarctic 

fur seals, Ross seals, and southern 

elephant seals. The applicant would 

capture and tag 10–15 seals of each 

species, in each field season. Seals 

would be sedated and anesthetized 

during tagging and biological sample 

collection procedures. The tags to be 

attached to the seals with marine epoxy 

include a combined time-depth recorder 

and GPS receiver and a separate VHF 

radio tag. Other procedures would 

include: Flipper tagging, dye marking, 

collecting blood samples, measuring 

blood volume, measuring girth and 

length, and determining body 

composition by morphometric 

measurements. These procedures are 

currently authorized under National 

Marine Fisheries Service Marine 

Mammal Protection Act Permit No. 

19439. 

Location: ASPA 149, Cape Shirreff, 

Livingston Island, South Shetland 

Islands, Antarctic Peninsula.
