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. 2011–021. 

Ms. Rebecca M. Dickhut, Virginia 

Institute of Marine Sciences, Gloucester 

Point, VA 23062. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Import into the U.S.A. The applicant 

plans to import frozen seabird tissue 

samples, collected by other researchers, 

for use in experiments back at the 

institutions laboratories. The applicant 

hopes to receive tissue samples from 

Adelie, Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Emperor 

penguins and Southern Giant Petrels. 

The samples will be used to: (a) Trace 

the movement of persistent organic 

pollutants (POPs) stored in glacier ice 

into the Antarctica marine food web, 

and (b) provide insight into the dietary 

preferences and feeding ecology of 

Antarctic seabirds. The research will 

provide an understanding of the 

potential coupling between global 

climate change and mobilization of 

glacier reservoirs of contaminants, and 

is likely to serve as a case study for 

understanding the potential future 

impact of contaminants store din 

glaciers on regional aquatic ecosystems. 

Location 

Western Antarctica. 

Dates 

January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.
