NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Notice of Permit Applications Received 

Under the Antarctic Conservation Act 

of 1978 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice of permit applications 

received. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) is required to publish 

a 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 in 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 this permit 

application by June 13, 2022. This 

application 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 or 

ACApermits@nsf.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Andrew Titmus, ACA Permit Officer, at 

the above address, 703–292–4479. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Science Foundation, as 

directed by the Antarctic Conservation 

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541, 45 CFR 

671), 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. 

Application Details 

Permit Application: 2023–002 

1. Applicant: Dr. Paul Ponganis, Scripps 

Institute of Oceanography, UCSD, 

La Jolla, CA 92093–0204 

Activity for Which Permit is 

Requested: Take, Harmful Interference, 

Enter Antarctic Specially Protected 

Area. The applicant seeks an Antarctic 

Conservation Act permit authorizing 

take and harmful interference associated 

with ongoing research examining the 

oxygen transport systems of emperor 

penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) in 

Antarctica. The applicant proposes 

capturing up to 32 non-breeding or subadult penguins from the McMurdo 

Sound region or, if necessary, in Cape 

Washington (ASPA 173). The applicant 

will access ASPA 173 by fixed-wing 

aircraft in accordance with the ASPA 

management plan. Throughout the 

course of the physiology study, 

penguins will be kept captive on the sea 

ice, but will be allowed to dive and 

forage at will. Research activities 

involve the administration of general 

anesthesia and the attachment of 

instrumentation to measure oxygen 

levels, heart rate/stroke rate, and dive 

depth/activity. In some penguins, blood 

samples may be collected during dives. 

At the end of each dive study, 

equipment will be removed, and the 

penguins will be released at the 

McMurdo Sea ice edge, where they will 

be able to rejoin nearby colonies. 

Location: McMurdo Sound, ASPA 

173: Cape Washington and Silverfish 

Bay. 

Dates of Permitted Activities: October 

1–December 20, 2022.

Program Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.
