SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of the meeting is for panel 

review, discussion, evaluation, and 

recommendation on applications for 

Certificates of Indemnity submitted to 

the Federal Council on the Arts and the 

Humanities, for exhibitions beginning 

on or after January 1, 2024. Because the 

meeting will consider proprietary 

financial and commercial data provided 

in confidence by indemnity applicants, 

and material that is likely to disclose 

trade secrets or other privileged or 

confidential information, and because it 

is important to keep the values of 

objects to be indemnified and the 

methods of transportation and security 

measures confidential, I have 

determined that that the meeting will be 

closed to the public pursuant to 

subsection (c)(4) of section 552b of Title 

5, United States Code. I have made this 

determination under the authority 

granted me by the Chairman’s 

Delegation of Authority to Close

1. Applicant 

Permit Application: 2024–012 

Robin West, VP & GM Expeditions, 

Seabourn Quest, Seabourn Cruise Line 

Ltd., 450 Third Ave. W., Seattle, WA 

98119. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Waste Management. The applicant 

proposes to operate small, batteryoperated remotely piloted aircraft 

systems (RPAS) consisting, in part, of a 

quadcopter equipped with cameras to 

collect commercial and educational 

footage of the Antarctic. The quadcopter 

would not be flown over concentrations 

of birds or mammals, or over Antarctic 

Specially Protected Areas or Historic 

Sites and Monuments. The RPAS would 

only be operated by pilots with 

extensive experience, who are preapproved by the Expedition Leader. 

Several mitigation measures to reduce 

environmental impacts and prevent 

against loss of the quadcopter include 

painting the them a high-visibility color; 

only flying when the wind is less than 

25 knots; flying for only 15 minutes at 

a time to preserve battery life; having 

prop guards on propeller tips, a flotation 

device if operated over water, and an 

‘‘auto go home’’ feature in case of loss 

of control link or low battery; having an 

observer on the lookout for wildlife, 

people, and other hazards; ensuring that 

the separation between the operator and 

quadcopter does not exceed an 

operational range of 500 meters; and 

implementing biosecurity measures by 

using disinfecting agents before and 

after each flight. The applicant is 

seeking a Waste Permit to cover any 

accidental releases that may result from 

operating the RPAS. 

Location 

Antarctic Peninsula Region. 

Dates of Permitted Activities

2. Applicant 

Permit Application: 2024–013 

Daniel Villa, Sea Shepherd Global,

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Waste Management. The applicant

for waste management activities 

associated with use of remotely piloted 

aircrafts (RPAs) in Antarctica. Aircrafts 

will be used for documenting krill 

fishery activities only. RPAs will not be 

flown over any concentrations of 

wildlife, Antarctic Specially Protected 

or Managed Areas or Historic Sites and 

Monuments without appropriate 

authorization. Aircraft are only to be 

flown by experienced, pre-approved 

pilots in fair weather conditions and in 

the presence of an observer, who will 

always maintain visual line of sight 

with the aircraft during operation. 

Mitigating measures are in place to 

prevent loss of the aircraft such as

of deployment and having alternative 

landing sites.
