Antarctica.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The National Science
Foundation gives notice of the
availability of a Final Environmental
Impact Statement/Comprehensive
Environmental Evaluation (FEIS/FCEE)
for activities proposed to be undertaken
in Antarctica.
The Office of Polar Programs (OPP)
has decided to proceed with the
development and implementation of
surface traverse capabilities in
Antarctica. Given the United States
Antarctica Program’s (USAP) mission to
support polar research, the proposed
action is expected to result in reduced
reliance on aircraft resources, increased
opportunities for sciences at USAP
facilities, and resources savings. In
reaching this decision, the Director of
the Office of Polar Programs has
considered the potential environmental
impacts addressed in the Development
and Implementation of Surface Traverse
Capabilities in Antarctica EIS/CEE. The
Director has also considered input from
Antarctic Treaty nations and the public
pertaining to the EIS/CEE for
Development and Implementation of
Surface Traverse Capabilities in
Antarctica.
Pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 2403a, the
National Science Foundation has
prepared this Record of Decision
following the Final Environmental
Impact Statement/Comprehensive
Environmental Evaluation for
Development and Implementation of
Surface Traverse Capabilities in
Antarctica, Amundsen-Scott Station,
South Pole, Antarctica.
