SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: NSF’s 

Antarctic Waste Regulation, 45 CFR part 

671, requires all U.S. citizens and 

entities to obtain a permit for the use or 

release of a designated pollutant in 

Antarctica, and for the release of waste 

in Antarctica. NSF has received a permit 

application under this Regulation for 

the operation of a temporary amateur 

radio camp on Signy Island, Antarctica. 

Zodiacs will be used to transport 

equipment and personnel to the camp 

site. Refueling of these vehicles will 

take place only on the ship. The camp 

will consist of two Weatherport shelters 

(12 × 25 feet): One as a lab or radio 

communications center; and the other 

for sleeping and storage. The power 

generator will have double containment 

to prevent any fuel spills. All camp 

waste (wrappers, empty container, 

disposable items), kitchen waste 

(garbage, debris, waste water), and 

human waste (solid and liquid) will be 

removed and returned to Ushuaia, 

Argentina for disposal. All shoes, 

clothing, equipment taken ashore will 

be cleaned and disinfected prior to 

leaving the ship to prevent introduction 

of non-indigenous species. 

No hazardous domestic products or 

wastes (aerosol cans, paints, solvents, 

etc.) will be brought ashore. Conditions 

of the permit would include 

requirements to report on the removal of 

materials and any accidental releases, 

and management of all waste, including 

human waste, in accordance with 

Antarctic waste regulations. 

Application for the permit is made by: 

Ralph Fedor, 2337 Granite View Road, 

Waite Park, MN 56387. 

Location: Signy Island, South Orkney 

Islands. 

DATES: January 1, 2010 to February 28,
