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 August 14, 2009. 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: Charles D. Amsler, Jr., 

Department of Biology, University of 

Alabama, Birmingham, AL 35294–1170. 

Permit Application No. 2010–007. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Take and Introduce Non-indigenous 

Species into Antarctica. The applicant 

plans to collect a number of filamentous 

brown algal endophytes for 

identification and additional extract 

bioassays back in the States. The 

applicant will use previously collected 

Antarctic macro algae in culture to 

perform feeding bioassays where 

amphipods are offered algae from 

culture and extract bioassays where the 

effects of secondary metabolites 

extracted from large macro algae are 

measured on algae from culture. Spores 

will be released from cultured 

endophytic algae and to expose 

macrophytes to cell-free extracts to test 

for oxidative burst defenses in the 

macrophytes. The experiments will be 

conducted to gain a better 

understanding of epiphytic and 

endophytic algae (both filamentous 

macroalgae and diatoms) with larger 

macroalgae and with mesoherbivores 

such as amphipods. 

Location 

Palmer Station, Anvers Island, 

Antarctica. 

Dates 

January 2, 2010 to July 31, 2011.

Permit Officer, Office of Polar Programs.
