NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Notice of Permit Applications Received

Under the Antarctic Conservation Act

of 1978 (Public Law 95–541)

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of Permit Applications

Received under the Antarctic

Conservation Act of 1978, P.L. 95–541.

SUMMARY: The National Science

Foundation (NSF) is required to publish

notice of permit applications received to

conduct activities regulated under the

Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978.

NSF has published regulations under

the Antarctic Conservation Act at Title

45 Part 670 of the Code of Federal

Regulations. This is the required notice

of permit applications received.

DATES: Interested parties are invited to

submit written data, comments, or

views with respect to these permit

applications by June 11, 2000. Permit

applications may be inspected by

30642 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 93 / Friday, May 12, 2000 / Notices

interested parties at the Permit Office,

address below.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed to Permit Office, Room 755,

Office of Polar Programs, National

Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson

Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nadene G. Kennedy at the above

address or (703) 306–1030.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Science Foundation, as

directed by the Antarctic Conservation

Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–541), has

developed regulations that implement

the ‘‘Agreed Measures for the

Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and

Flora’’ for all United States citizens. The

Agreed Measures, developed by the

Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties,

recommended establishment of a permit

system for various activities in

Antarctica and designation of certain

animals and certain geographic areas a

requiring special protection. The

regulations establish such a permit

system to designate Specially Protected

Areas and Sites of Special Scientific

Interest.

The applications received are as

follows:

1. Applicant: Permit Application No.

2001–008, Norbert Wu, Norbert Wu

Productions, 1065 Sinex Avenue,

Pacific Grove, CA 93950.

Activity for Which Permit is

Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially

Protected Area. The applicant is part of

the Artists and Writers Program of the

U.S. Antarctic Program. He proposes to

enter the outskirts of Cape Crozier

(ASPA #124) to conclude filming that

are initiated last season under his grant,

‘‘A Photographic Survey of Antarctic

Marine Species’’ and to finish a PBS

Nature documentary entitled ‘‘Under

Antarctic Ice’’. The applicant plans to

conduct general photography and

filming of Adelie and Emperor

penguins, leopard seals, Orcas and

minke whales. Filming will be restricted

to topside photography and

cinematography. Visits to the site will

be selected to target Adelie penguin

events (nesting, egg tending and egg

hatching) during peak population at the

rookery. The applicant plans to skirt the

Adelie and Emperor penguin rookeries

and not enter into the midst of the

colony. Scientific research has shown

that Adelie penguins are most active

between 4:00am and 10:00am. Therefore

the applicant intends to camp near Cape

Crozier to take advantage of these

timeframes. Access to the area will be

by helicopter which will land at the

designated landing site as outlined in

the site’s management plan.

Location: ASPA 124—Cape Crozier,

Ross Island.

Dates: August 1, 2000 to February 28,

2001.

2. Applicant: Permit Application No.

2001–009, Terry J. Wilson, Department

of Geological Sciences, Ohio State

University, 125 South Oval Mall,

Columbus, OH 43210.

Activity for Which Permit is

Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially

Protected Area. Cope Crozier is the

largest ice-free volcanic area on Ross

Island, with a large number of well

exposed volcanic cones and fissures. It

is a primary site for mapping volcanic

alignments and stress directions in

eastern Ross Island. The applicant plans

to conduct aerial observations and

photography of the volcanic vents using

a helicopter. In addition, the applicant

plans to conduct short-duration ground

observations on selected cones. The

objectives of the research can be

achieved without flying over or entering

the immediate proximity of the Adelie

and Emperor penguin rookeries at Cape

Crozier.

Location: ASPA 124—Cape Crozier,

Ross Island.

Dates: December 4, 2000 to January 4,

2001.

3. Applicant: Permit Application No.

2001–010, Tom Yelvington, Raytheon

Polar Service Company, 61 Inverness

Drive East, Suite 300 Englewood, CO

80112.

Activity for Which Permit is

Requested: Enter Antarctic Specially

Protected Area. The applicant proposes

to enter Byers Peninsula (ASPA #126)

on Livingston Island for the purpose of

reconnoitering landing sites and camp

sites along the southern shores. Byers

Peninsula is a key site of interest for a

scientific project that will be conducted

March 2001 through May 2001. Because

of the uncertainties associated with

zodiac-supported field camps, it is

essential to ascertain in advance where

the landings with the researchers and

supplies might be made, and where the

tent camp might be established. The

reconnaissance of Byers Peninsula will

be conducted during the next few

months based on the schedule of the

U.S. Antarctic Program’s research vessel

operating in the Peninsula. It is

estimated that only 4–5 people will be

needed to scout the southern shores for

the appropriate sites.

Location: ASPA 126—Byers

Peninsula, Livingston Island, South

Shetland Islands.

Dates: June 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs.
