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 March 10, 2010. 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 requiring 

special protection. The regulations 

establish such a permit system to 

designate Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas. 

The applications received are as 

follows: 

1. Applicant: H. William Detrich, III, 

Department of Biology, 134 Mugar 

Hall, Northwestern University, 

Boston, MA 02115. 

Permit Application No: 2010–023. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Introduce non-indigenous species into 

Antarctica. The applicant plans to use 

Escherichia coli strain BL21DE3 for 

production of 35S-labeled proteins to be 

used in protein folding assays 

performed in the Palmer Station 

laboratories. The applicant will 

continue analysis of a cold-functioning 

chaperonin protein folding system from 

testis tissue of the Antarctica fish, 

Gobionotothen gibberifrons. To 

demonstrate that the chaperonin is 

functional, they must use protein 

substrates labeled with 35S-methionine. 

To obtain these proteins, they will 

express G. gibberifrons actin and tubulin 

substrates in E. coli in a medium 

supplemented with 35S-methionine. 

The E. coli will not be released to the 

environment. Cultures will be 

autoclaved to kill the bacteria, and the 

waste will be disposed via the 

radioactive materials waste stream using 

approved protocols. 

Location 

Palmer Station, Anvers Island, 

Antarctic Peninsula. 

Dates: April 10, 2010 to June 8, 2010. 

Nadene G. Kennedy, 

Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs.
