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. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) is required to publish 

a notice of requests to modify permits 

issued to conduct activities regulated 

under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 

1978. This is the required notice of a 

requested permit modification. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit written data, comments, or 

views with respect to this permit 

application by January 16, 2025. Permit 

applications may be inspected by 

interested parties at the Permit Office, 

address below. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to Permit Office, Office of 

Polar Programs, National Science 

Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22314. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Andrew Titmus, ACA Permit Officer, 

Office of Polar Programs, National 

Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower 

Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314; 703– 

292–4479; or ACApermits@nsf.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Science Foundation, as 

directed by the Antarctic Conservation 

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), 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 as requiring 

special protection. The regulations 

establish such a permit system to 

designate Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas. 

Description of Permit Modification 

Requested: The Foundation issued a 

permit (ACA 2025–019) to Ari 

Friedlaender on December 1, 2024. The 

issued permit allows for Take, Harmful 

interference, and Import into USA 

associated with research activities on 

the ecology of cetaceans in the Antarctic 

Peninsula. The permitted activities 

include the use of Remotely Piloted 

Aircraft Systems (RPAS), deployment of 

tags to collect spatial and behavioral 

information, collection of biopsies, and 

conducting behavioral observations. 

Now the holder proposes a 

modification to the permit to access 

Antarctic Specially Protected Area 113, 

Litchfield Island in order to collect 

aerial footage using RPAS as part of a 

collaborate effort with activities by 

Natasja van Gestel conducted under 

permit ACA 2023–007. Footage would 

be used for outreach purposes to 

highlight the importance of plant 

covered land in Antarctica. The 

collaboration proposes to allow RPAS 

filming under this permit (2025–019) as 

the holder is experienced in operating 

RPAS at this location without 

disturbance to wildlife. A total of three 

flights would be conducted over a three 

day period with flights above 40 meters 

AGL. 

Location: ASPA 113, LITCHFIELD 

ISLAND. 

Dates: January 12, 2024 to January 31, 

2024.
