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 August 7, 2009. 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: 

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. 

Description of Permit Modification 

Requested: The Foundation issued a 

permit (2008–016) to Dr. Robert A. 

Garrott on October 1, 2007. The issued 

permit allows the applicant to census, 

tag, weigh, and collect blood and tissue 

samples of Weddell seals and 

instrument mammals (Antarctic Fur, 

Leopard, Southern Elephant, Ross, 

Weddell and Crabeater seals) and 

seabirds (Chinstrap and Gentoo 

penguins, Cape Petrels, Giant Petrels, 

Brown Skuas, South Pole Skuas, 

Sheathbills, Kelp gulls, and Blue-eyed 

Shag). 

The applicant requests a modification 

to his permit to temporarily attach 

temperature logger tags on Weddell 

pups to determine how much time the 

mothers spend in the water teaching 

their pups to swim, forage, and evade 

aggressive encounters with other seals. 

The data would also reveal how much 

time the pups spend in the water which 

may influence their weight when 

weaned and their ultimate probability of 

survival once weaned. 

Location: Ross Sea and McMurdo 

Sound. 

Dates: October 1, 2009 to February 28, 

2012.

[NRC–2009–0282] 

Draft Regulatory Guide: Issuance, 

Availability 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of Issuance and 

Availability of Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–1213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public such information 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, 

‘‘Containment Isolation Provisions for 

Fluid Systems),’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1213, 

which should be mentioned in all 

related correspondence. DG–1213 is 

proposed Revision 1 of Regulatory 

Guide 1.141. 

DG–1213 describes updated methods 

that the NRC staff considers acceptable 

for use in complying with the 

Commission’s requirements for 

containment isolation of fluid systems. 

Title 10, of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic 

Licensing of Production and Utilization 

Facilities’’ (10 CFR Part 50), Appendix 

A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear 

Power Plants,’’ General Design Criteria 

(GDC) 54, 55, 56, and 57 establishes that 

piping systems that penetrate the 

primary reactor containment be 

provided with isolation capabilities that 

reflect the importance to safety of 

isolating these piping systems. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–1213. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–1213 in the subject line. Comments
