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. 

Description of Permit Modification 

Requested: The Foundation issued a 

permit (ACA 2016–020) to Laura K.O. 

Smith, Owner, Operator Quixote 

Expeditions, on December 23, 2015. The 

issued permit allows the permit holder 

to conduct waste management activities 

associated with the operation of the 

‘‘Ocean Tramp,’’ a reinforced ketch 

rigged sailing yacht in the Antarctic 

Peninsula region. Activities to be 

conducted by Quixote include: 

Passenger landings, hiking, 

photography, wildlife viewing, and 

possible station visits. 

A recent modification to this permit, 

dated November 9, 2016, permitted the 

permit holder to continue permitted 

activities, including minimization, 

mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for 

the 2016–2017 Antarctic season. The 

Environmental Officer reviewed the 

modification request and determined 

that the amendment was not a material 

change to the permit, and it will have 

a less than a minor or transitory impact. 

Now the permit holder proposes a 

modification to the permit to continue 

the permitted activities for the 2017– 

2018 Antarctic season and add coastal 

camping activities as well as resupply of 

fresh food as part of Quixote’s new fly/
