FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew Titmus, ACA Permit Officer,
Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 2415 Eisenhower
Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314; 703-292-4479; email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#58191b19283d2a35312c2b18362b3e763f372e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="95d4d6d4e5f0e7f8fce1e6d5fbe6f3bbf2fae3">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Science Foundation (NSF), as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95-541, 45
CFR 670), 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 as requiring special
protection.
Description of Permit Modification Requested: The Foundation issued
a permit (ACA 2022-020) to David Rootes, Environmental Manager,
Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions, LLC (ALE), on November 29, 2021.
The issued permit allows the applicant to operate a remote camp at
Union Glacier, Antarctica, and provide logistical support services for
scientific and other expeditions, film crews, and tourists. These
activities include aircraft support, cache positioning, camp and field
support, resupply, search and rescue, medevac, medical support and
logistic support for some National Operators.
Now the applicant proposes a permit modification to continue
permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and
monitoring of waste, for the 2017-2018 Antarctic season. The
Environmental Officer has reviewed the modification request and has
determined that the amendment is not a material change to the permit,
and it will have a less than a minor or transitory impact.
The permit modification was issued on September 15, 2022.
Erika N. Davis,
Program Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.
