Abstract
A. Proposed Project: All individuals
who anticipate deploying to Antarctica
and to certain regions of the Arctic
under the auspices of the United States
Antarctic Program are required to take
and pass a rigorous physical
examination prior to deploying. The
physical examination includes a
medical history, medical examination, a
dental examination and for those
persons planning to winter over in
Antarctica a psychological examination
is also required. The requirement for
this determination of physical status is
found in 42 U.S.C. 1870 (Authority) and
62 FR 31522, June 10, 1997 (Source),
unless otherwise noted. This part sets
forth the procedures for medical
screening to determine whether
candidates for participation in the
United States Antarctic [Page 216]
Program (USAP) are physically qualified
and psychologically adapted for
assignment or travel to Antarctica.
Medical screening examinations are
necessary to determine the presence of
any physical or psychological
conditions that would threaten the

health or safety of the candidate or other
USAP participants or that could not be
effectively treated by the limited
medical care capabilities in Antarctica.
(b) Presidential Memorandum No.
6646 (February 5, 1982) (available from
the National Science Foundation, Office
of Polar Programs, Room 755, 4201
Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230) sets
forth the National Science Foundation’s
overall management responsibilities for
the entire United States national
program in Antarctica.
B. Use of the Information:
1. National Science Foundation—
Polar Physical Examination (Antarctica/
Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical
History, will be used by the individual
to record the individual’s family and
personal medical histories. It is a ninepage form that includes the individual’s
and the individual’s emergency pointof-contact’s name, address, and
telephone numbers. It contains the
individual’s e-mail address,
employment affiliation and dates and
locations of current and previous polar
deployments. It also includes a signed
certification of the accuracy of the
information and understandings of
refusal to provide the information or
providing false information. The
agency’s contractor’s reviewing
physician and medical staff complete
the sections of the form that indicated
when the documents were received and
whether or not the person qualified for
polar deployment, in which season and
which location qualified to deploy and
where disqualified, the reasons.
2. Polar Physical Examination—
Antarctica/Arctic, will be used by the
individual’s physician to document
specific medical examination results
and the overall status of the individual’s
health. It is a two-page form which also
provides for the signatures of both the
patient and the examining physician, as
well as contact information about the
examining physician. Finally, it
contains the name, address and
telephone number of the agency’s
contractor that collects and retains the
information.
3. National Science Foundation Polar
Physical Examination (Antarctica/
Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical History
Interval Screening, has been
discontinued. It was previously used to
document changes in family and
personal history for those healthy
individuals who are under age 40 and
had no adverse personal medical
information to report for the preceding
year.
4. Polar Dental Examination—
Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors, will
be used by the examining dentist to

5408
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2011 / Notices
document the status of the individual’s
teeth and gums and to document when
the individual was examined. It will
also be used by the contractor’s
reviewing dentist to document whether
or not the individual is dentally cleared
to deploy to the Polar regions.
5. Medical Waivers: Any individual
who is determined to be not physically
qualified for polar deployment may
request an administrative waiver of the
medical screening criteria. This
information includes signing a Request
for Waiver that is notarized or otherwise
legally acceptable in accordance with
penalty of perjury statutes, and
obtaining an Employer Statement of
Support. Individuals on a case-by-case
basis may also be asked to submit
additional medical documentation and a
letter from the individual’s physician(s)
regarding the individual’s medical
condition and his or her suitability for
Antarctic deployment.
6. Other information requested: In
addition to the numbered forms and
other information mentioned above, the
USAP medical screening package
includes the following:
• The Medical Risks for NSF–
Sponsored Personnel Traveling to
Antarctica or Greenland.
• The NSF Privacy Notice.
• The NSF Medical Screening for
Blood-borne Pathogens/Consent for HIV
Testing.
• The NSF Authorization for
Treatment of Field-Team Member/
Participant Under the Age of 18 Years.
This form will only be sent to the
individuals who are under 18 years of
age.
• The Dear Doctor and Dear Dentist
letters, which provide specific
laboratory and x-ray requirements, as
well as other instructions.
• The influenza vaccination
requirement letter.
7. There are two other, non-medical
forms included in the mailing:
• The Personal Information Form—
NSF Form Number 1424 includes a
Privacy Act Notice. This form is used to
collect information on current address
and contact numbers, date and place of
birth, nationality, citizenship,
emergency point of contact information,
travel dates, clothing sizes so that we
may properly outfit those individuals
who deploy, work-site information and
prior deployment history.
• The Participant Notifications—
Important Notice for Participants in the
United States Antarctic or Arctic
Program. These forms provide
information on the laws, of the nations
through which program participants
must transit en route to Antarctica or
Greenland, regarding the transport,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:38 Jan 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
possession and use of illegal substances
and the possibility of criminal
prosecution if caught, tried and
convicted.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
varies according to the overall health of
the individual, the amount of research
required to complete the forms, the time
it takes to make an appointment, take
the examination and schedule and
complete any follow-up medical, dental
or psychological requirements, the
method used to complete the forms and
the completeness of the forms
submitted. The estimated time is up to
six weeks from the time the individual
receives the forms until he or she is
notified by the contractor of their final
clearance status. An additional period of
up to eight weeks may be required for
the individual who was disqualified to
be notified of the disqualification, to
request and receive the waiver packet,
to obtain employer support and
complete the waiver request, to do any
follow-up testing, to return the waiver
request to the contractor plus any
follow-up information, for the
contractor to get the completed packet
to the National Science Foundation, and
for NSF to make and promulgate a
decision.
Respondents: All individuals
deploying to the Antarctic under the
auspices of the United States Antarctic
Program and certain Arctic areas must
complete these forms. There are
approximately 3,000 submissions per
year, with a small percentage (c.3%)
under the age of 40 who provide annual
submissions but with less information.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Form: Responses range from 2 to
approximately 238 responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 28,728 hours; fewer if the
individual has previously deployed and
saved his or her prior year’s data for
future use.
Frequency of Responses: Physical
qualifications are valid for 12 months.
Individuals must complete the forms
annually or not earlier than six months
prior to their anticipated deployment
date, if they are infrequent travelers.
Depending on individual medical status
some persons may require additional
laboratory results to be current within
two to six-weeks of anticipated
deployment.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50–382; NRC–2011–0023]
Entergy Operations, Inc., Waterford
Steam Electric Station, Unit 3,
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering issuance of an exemption,
pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 26.9,
‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ from paragraphs
(c) and (d) of 10 CFR 26.205, ‘‘Work
hours,’’ for Facility Operating License
No. NPF–38, issued to Entergy
Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee),
for operation of the Waterford Steam
Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3),
located in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
In accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the
NRC prepared an environmental
assessment documenting its finding.
The NRC concluded that the proposed
actions will have no significant impact.
Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would consider
approval of an exemption for Waterford
3, from some of the requirements of 10
CFR part 26, ‘‘Fitness for duty
programs.’’ Specifically, the licensee
requests approval of an exemption from
the requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c),
‘‘Work hours scheduling,’’ and (d),
‘‘Work hour controls,’’ to allow for
sequestering site personnel prior to and
following the entry and exit conditions
(i.e., emergency declaration) related to
adverse weather conditions caused by a
hurricane.
The licensee states that during
declaration of severe weather
conditions, such as hurricane watches
and warnings or inland hurricane wind
watches and warnings caused by a
hurricane impacting the coast,
adherence to all work hour controls
requirements could impede the
licensee’s ability to use whatever staff
resources may be necessary to respond
to a plant emergency and ensure that the
plant reaches and maintains a safe and
secure status.

United States national program in Antarctica.
B. Use of the Information:
1. National Science Foundation--Polar Physical Examination
(Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical History, will be used by
the individual to record the individual's family and personal medical
histories. It is a nine-page form that includes the individual's and
the individual's emergency point-of-contact's name, address, and
telephone numbers. It contains the individual's e-mail address,
employment affiliation and dates and locations of current and previous
polar deployments. It also includes a signed certification of the
accuracy of the information and understandings of refusal to provide
the information or providing false information. The agency's
contractor's reviewing physician and medical staff complete the
sections of the form that indicated when the documents were received
and whether or not the person qualified for polar deployment, in which
season and which location qualified to deploy and where disqualified,
the reasons.
2. Polar Physical Examination--Antarctica/Arctic, will be used by
the individual's physician to document specific medical examination
results and the overall status of the individual's health. It is a two-
page form which also provides for the signatures of both the patient
and the examining physician, as well as contact information about the
examining physician. Finally, it contains the name, address and
telephone number of the agency's contractor that collects and retains
the information.
3. National Science Foundation Polar Physical Examination
(Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors) Medical History Interval
Screening, has been discontinued. It was previously used to document
changes in family and personal history for those healthy individuals
who are under age 40 and had no adverse personal medical information to
report for the preceding year.
4. Polar Dental Examination--Antarctica/Arctic/Official Visitors,
will be used by the examining dentist to
[[Page 5408]]
document the status of the individual's teeth and gums and to document
when the individual was examined. It will also be used by the
contractor's reviewing dentist to document whether or not the
individual is dentally cleared to deploy to the Polar regions.
5. Medical Waivers: Any individual who is determined to be not
physically qualified for polar deployment may request an administrative
