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 Applications 

Received under the Antarctic 

Conservation Act of 1978, Public Law 

95–541. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) is required to publish 

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 at Title 

45 Part 670 of 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 October 2, 2008. This 

application 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: 

Nadene G. Kennedy at the above 

address or (703) 292–7405. 

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 a requiring 

special protection. The regulations 

establish such a permit system to 

designate Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas. 

The applications received are as 

follows: 

1. Applicant: 

Permit Application No. 2009–013 

Robert Pittman, NOAA/NMFS 

Southwest Fisheries Science Center, 

8604 La Jolla Shores Drive, La Jolla, CA 

92037, College Station, TX 77843–1112. 

Activity for Which Permit Is 

Requested: Take and Import into the 

U.S.A. The applicant’s study of 

movement patterns, diet preferences 

and genetics of whales calls for the 

collection of pencil eraser size tissue 

samples from up to 200 Killer whales 

(Orcinus orca), 25 Minke whales 

(Balaenoptera bonaerensis), and 25 

Humpback whales (Megaptera 

novaeangliae). The tissue samples will 

be used in food habit studies (stable 

isotope and fatty acids). Additionally 

the same samples will be used to 

analyze for genetic distinctness of the 

different killer whale types in 

Antarctica using genetics techniques. 

For movement patterns, a small (ca 40g) 

satellite tags will be attached to some of 

the whales. The samples collected will 

be imported to the U.S. for research 

studies at the Southwest Fisheries 

Science Center. 

Location: Antarctic Peninsula area 

and McMurdo Sound region, Antarctica. 

Dates: December 25, 2008 to 

December 31, 2013.
