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.
Description of Permit Modification
Requested: The Foundation issued a
permit (2007–003) to Dr. Rennie S. Holt
on December 26, 2006. The issued
permit allows the applicant to census,
tag, collect samples and instrument
mammals (Antarctic Fur, Leopard,
Southern Elephant, Ross, Weddell and
Crabeater seals) and seabirds (Chinstrap
and Gentoo penguins, Cape Petrels,
Giant Petrels, Brown Skuas, South Pole
Skuas, Sheathbills, Kelp gulls, and Blueeyed Shag).
The applicant requests a modification
to his permit to collect a single whisker
from each captured Fur or Leopard seal
for measuring stable isotope ratios to
infer trophic levels. Collection will
occur while the animal is anesthetized
for tagging or instrumentation.
Location: Cape Shirreff, Livingston
Island (including San Telmo islands),
Seal Island and King George Island.
Dates: November 1, 2007 to April 30,
2011.

of a requested permit modification.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit written data, comments, or
views with respect to this permit
application by September 27, 2007.
Permit applications may be inspected by
interested parties at the Permit Office,
address below.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to Permit Office, Room 755,

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.
Description of Permit Modification
Requested: The Foundation issued a
permit (2007–007) to Dr. Markus
Horning on October 12, 2006. The
issued permit allows the applicant to
restrain/immobilize up to 48 Weddell
seals over a 2 year period, tag, collect
samples and temporarily apply
instrumentation.
The applicant requests modifications
to his permit to:
(1) Pre-tag adult females >21 years
(non-pregnant, non-lactating) only if
they are encountered at a time when
they cannot be properly instrumented
(bad weather or all instruments already
deployed). Pre-tagging would involve
up to 2–6 adult females and would
allow for easier tracking and location for
further instrumentation.
(2) Increase the number of Weddell
seals sampled from 48 to 60.
(3) Opportunistically collect and
export to the U.S. up to 100 Weddell
seal fecal samples for future assessment
of the cumulative effect of research
activities on Weddell seals, by way of
analysis of stress hormone levels
(corticosteroids).
(4) Enter the Cape Royds Antarctic
Specially Protected Area (ASPA 121)
only on a contingency basis should a
seal wander into the area and the
applicant needs to retrieve an
instrument package.
Location: McMurdo Sound sea ice.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Review; Comment Request
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation
of public comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently
submitted to OMB for review the
following proposal for the collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
1. Type of submission—new, revision,
or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information
collection: 10 CFR Part 19, ‘‘Notices,
Instructions, and Reports to Workers:
Inspection and Investigations.’’
3. The form number if applicable:
N/A.
4. How often the collection is
required: As necessary in order that
adequate and timely reports of radiation
exposure be made to individuals
involved in NRC-licensed activities.
5. Who will be required or asked to
report: Licensees authorized to receive,
possess, use, or transfer material
licensed by the NRC.
6. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 4,906 responses (256
plus 4,650 recordkeepers).
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 4,650 licensees.
8. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 35,674 hours
(4,553 hours for reporting and 31,121
hours for recordkeeping).
9. An indication of whether Section
3507(d), Pub. L. 104–13 applies: N/A.
10. Abstract: Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 19, requires
licensees to advise workers on an
annual basis of any radiation exposure
they may have received as a result of
E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM
28AUN1
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 28, 2007 / Notices
NRC-licensed activities or when certain
conditions are met. These conditions
apply during termination of the
worker’s employment, at the request of
a worker, former worker, or when the
worker’s employer (the NRC licensee)
must report radiation exposure
information on the worker to the NRC.
Part 19 also establishes requirements for
instructions by licensees to individuals
participating in licensed activities and
options available to these individuals in
connection with Commission
inspections of licensees to ascertain
compliance with the provisions of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
Title II of the Energy Reorganization Act
of 1974, and regulations, orders and
licenses thereunder regarding
radiological working conditions.
The worker should be informed of the
radiation dose he or she receives
because: (a) That information is needed
by both a new employer and the
individual when the employee changes
jobs in the nuclear industry; (b) the
individual needs to know the radiation
dose received as a result of an accident
or incident (if this dose is in excess of
the 10 CFR Part 20 limits) so that he or
she can seek counseling about future
work involving radiation, medical
attention, or both, as desired; and (c)
since long-term exposure to radiation
may be an adverse health factor, the
individual needs to know whether the
accumulated dose is being controlled
within NRC limits. The worker also
needs to know about health risks from
occupational exposure to radioactive
materials or radiation, precautions or
procedures to minimize exposure,
worker responsibilities and options to
report any licensee conditions which
may lead to or cause a violation of
Commission regulations, and individual
radiation exposure reports which are
available to him.
A copy of the final supporting
statement may be viewed free of charge
at the NRC Public Document Room, One
White Flint North, 11555 Rockville
Pike, Room O–1 F21, Rockville,
Maryland 20852. OMB clearance
requests are available at the NRC
worldwide Web site: https://
www.nrc.gov/public-involve/doccomment/omb/. The
document will be available on the NRC
home page site for 60 days after the
signature date of this notice.
Comments and questions should be
directed to the OMB reviewer listed
below by September 27, 2007.
Comments received after this date will
be considered if it is practical to do so,
but assurance of consideration cannot
be given to comments received after this
date.
