SUMMARY:
Description of Permit Modification
Requested
On October 26, 2006, the National
Science Foundation issued a waste
management permit (2007 WM–001) to
Rennie S. Holt, Director, Antarctic
Marine Living Resources (AMLR)
Program, Southwest Fisheries Service
after posting a notice in the May 19,
2006 Federal Register. Public comments
were not received. The issued permit
was for the operation and maintenance
of a remote science field camp at Cape
Shirreff. Dr. Rennie Holt has
subsequently retired and a new Director
for the AMLR Program, Dr. George
Watters, is now the permit holder. He
has requested modifications to his waste
permit to cover the use of an all-terrain
vehicle (ATV) and construction of a
small storage facility. The ATV is to
replace the one originally provided by
the Chilean Program to help move
supplies and field cargo. In addition the
