Description of Permit Modification Requested The Foundation issued a permit (2008–016) to Dr. Robert Garrott on October 1, 2007.

Based on data collected so far and field observations, it appears that moms vary a lot in how much time they spend in the water with their pups teaching them to swim, forage, evade aggressive encounters with other seals, etc. It is believed that the amount of time pups spend in the water influences their weight when weaned, and likely their ultimate probability of survival once weaned. The applicant would like to temporarily deploy a small temperature logging tag on the pups when they are weighed at 1–2 days old and remove the tag when they are weighed at 35 days old. The applicant has identified a small (5 grams) commercially manufactured temperature logging unit that can be mounted on the flipper.

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 as 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 (2008-016) to Dr. Robert Garrott on 
October 1, 2007. The issued permit allows the applicant to tag new pups 
born each year in the Erebus Bay and to weigh a sample of the pups at 
parturition, approximately 20 days old, and 35 days old as part of a 
study of the Interactions of Environmental Variability, Life History 
Traits, and Demography in an Apex Antarctic Predator. Based on data 
collected so far and field observations, it appears that moms vary a 
lot in how much time they spend in the water with their pups teaching 
them to swim, forage, evade aggressive encounters with other seals, 
etc. It is believed that the amount of time pups spend in the water 
influences their weight when weaned, and likely their ultimate 
probability of survival once weaned.
    The applicant would like to temporarily deploy a small temperature 
logging tag on the pups when they are weighed at 1-2 days old and 
remove the tag when they are weighed at 35 days old. The applicant has 
identified a small (5 grams) commercially manufactured temperature 
logging unit that can be mounted on the flipper. Once the tag is 
removed, the archived data will be used to quantify the pup's swimming 
profile during the nursing period.
    Location: McMurdo Sound.
    Dates: October 2, 2009 to February 12, 2012.
