Return to Flight Task Group; Meeting
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public
Law 92–463, as amended, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
announces a meeting of the Return to
Flight Task Group (RTF TG).
DATES: Monday June 27, 2005, from 1
p.m. until 3 p.m. eastern daylight time.
ADDRESSES: Residence Inn Capitol, 333
E Street SW., Washington DC 20024.

Room.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Vincent D. Watkins at (281) 792–7523.
Rationale for Exception to Less Than
15 Day Notice: This event is directly
related to scheduling constraints
imposed by the nation’s Space Shuttle
Program return to flight launch
activities. Critical data necessary for the
Task Group to complete its assessment
was made available based on necessary
milestones required for the agency to
ensure a safe return to flight. The
proximity of those milestones to the
new STS–114 launch date prevents the
Task Group from scheduling its last
public meeting within the 15 day notice
requirement.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
meeting will be open to the public up
to the seating capacity of the meeting
room. Attendees will be requested to
sign a register. Audio of the meeting
will be distributed via the Internet at
https://returntoflight.org.
The agenda for the meeting is as
follows:
—Welcome remarks from Co-Chair
—Discussion of status of NASA’s
implementation of selected Columbia
Accident Investigation Board return to
flight recommendations
—Action item summary from Executive
Secretary
—Closing remarks from Co-Chair
It is imperative that the meeting be
held on this date to accommodate the

National Science Foundation.
Notice of permit applications
received under the Antarctic
Conservation Act of 1978, Public Law
95–541.
AGENCY:
National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
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 Antaric 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 July 25, 2005. 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 Antaric Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antaric 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:
Permit Application No. 2006–015
1. Applicant: Shane B. Kanatous,
Southwestern Medical Center,
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
University of Texas, 5323 Harry Hines
Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390–8573.
Activity for Which Permit is Requested
Take and Import into the United
States. The applicant proposes to
capture up to 10 each of Weddell seal
newborn pups, sub adults, and adults
each season to be weighed and to collect
muscle samples. The samples will be
returned to the U.S. for further scientific
study. The applicant plans to build on
his previous work that characterized the
enzymatic, and ultra-structural
adaptations for diving that occur in the
skeletal muscles of newly weaned,
juvenile and adult Weddell seals. Study
results will increase understanding of
both the ontogeny and molecular
mechanisms by which young seals
acquire the physiological capabilities to
make deep (up to 700 meters) and long
aerobic dives (@ min.). The study will
also advance knowledge of the
molecular regulation for the adaptations
that enable active skeletal muscle to
function under hypoxic conditions,
which has broader application for
human medicine especially in regards to
cardiac and pulmonary disease.
Location: McMurdo Sound sea ice.
Dates: October 1, 2005 to February 28,
2008.
Permit Application No. 2006–016
2. Applicant: Wayne Z. Trivelpiece,
Antarctic Ecosystem Research
Division, Southwest Fisheries Science
Center, 8604 La Jolla Shores Drive, La
Jolla, CA 92037.
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Take, Enter an Antarctic Specially
Protected Area, and Import into the
United States. THe applicant is
continuing a study of the behavioral and
population biology of the Adelie,
gentoo, and chinstrap penguins and the
interactions of these species and their
principal avian predators: skuas, gulls,
sheathbills, and giant petrels. Up to 500
each of Adelie and gentoo penguin
chicks and adults will be banded. Up to
50 adult penguins per species will have
radio-transmitters (Txs), satellite tags
(PTTs), and time-depth recorders (TDRs)
attached to continue the study of the
penguins’ foraging habits. Up to 40
adult penguins per species will have
their stomachs pumped, and data will
be collected on egg sizes and adult
weights for a maximum of 100 nest per
species. In addition, blood, tissue and
uropigial gland oil will be collected for
further study.
Location: Western Shore of Admiralty
Bay, King George Island (ASPA #128)
and Lion’s Rump, King George Island
(ASPA #151).
