SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

National Science Foundation, as

directed by the Antarctic Conservation

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 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

requiring special protection. The

regulations establish such a permit

system to designate Specially Protected

Areas and Sites of Special Scientific

Interest.

The application received is as follows:

Permit Application: 98–017

1. Applicant

Charles R. Stearns, Department of

Atmosphere and Oceanic Sciences,

University of Wisconsin, 122 West

Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53706

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested

Enter Specially Protected Area and

Site of Special Scientific Interest

The applicant proposes to install an

Automatic Weather Station (AWS) at

Cape Bird, Ross Island. Studies of

weather in the vicinity of McMurdo

indicate and AWS located at Cape Bird

will be of great value in studying the

local climate and in providing valuable

data for forecasting weather in the Ross

Island Area. Installation of the AWS

requires a uniform area about

100x100m. Although the applicant

intends to install the AWS outside the

SPA and SSSI, however, due to

unfamiliarity with the terrain, may

require placement of the AWS in either

the New College Valley Specially

Protected Area No. 20, or in the

Caughley Beach Site of Special

Scientific Interest.

Location

New College Valley (SPA #20) and

Caughley Beach (SSSI #10), Cape

Bird, Ross Island, Antarctica.

Dates

January 1, 1998 to January 31, 1998.
