Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 8, 2005 / Notices 6739

The regulations of the Commission 

(25 CFR part 514), as amended, provide 

for a system of fee assessment and 

payment that is self-administered by 

gaming operations. Pursuant to those 

regulations, the Commission is required 

to adopt and communicate assessment 

rates; the gaming operations are 

required to apply those rates to their 

revenues, compute the fees to be paid, 

report the revenues, and remit the fees 

to the Commission on a quarterly basis. 

The regulations of the Commission 

and the preliminary rate being adopted 

today are effective for calendar year 

2005. Therefore, all gaming operations 

within the jurisdiction of the 

Commission are required to selfadminister the provisions of these 

regulations and report and pay any fees 

that are due to the Commission By 

March 31, 2005.

Vice-Chairman, National Indian Gaming 

Commission.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

Notice of Permit Applications Received 

Under the Antarctic Conservation Act 

of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541)

AGENCY: National Science Foundation.

ACTION: Notice of Permit Modification 

Received under the Antarctic 

Conservation Act of 1978, Public Law 

95–541. 

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. 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 a requested permit modification.

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit written data, comments, or 

views with respect to this permit 

application by March 10, 2005. Permit 

applications may be inspected by 

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:

Polly A. Penhale at the above address or 

(703) 292–8030.

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 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 (2004–009) to Dr. Robert L. 

Pitman on January 15, 2004. The issued 

permit allows the applicant to collect 

biopsy samples (size of a pencil eraser) 

of skin and tissue from up to 200 Killer 

Whales (Orcinus orca). These samples 

help to determine the taxonomic status 

of the three different morphotypes of 

Killer Whales observed in the Antarctic. 

The applicant requests a modification 

to his permit to extend his permit for 

one year, to cover the full extent of his 

grant. In addition he wishes to collect 

skin and tissue samples from up to 10 

Minke (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) and 5 

Arnoux’s beaked whales (Berardius 

arnouxii). The applicant during his 

research has identified a species of 

diatoms on the Killer Whales and is 

interested to see if the same species of 

diatoms are present on other whales in 

the southern Ross Sea. If the diatoms are 

different from then the samples could 

provide additional evidence that there is 

more than one species of Killer Whale 

in Antarctica. 

Location: Waters surrounding 

Antarctica, including the Ross Sea. 

Dates: April 1, 2005, to March 31, 

2006.

Environmental Officer, Office of Polar 

Programs.
