Access to these sites will be on an opportunistic basis. The applicant plans to conduct surveys and excavations of modern and abandoned penguin colonies. Ice-free areas will be surveyed on foot to locate evidence of breeding colony (pebbles and/or bone concentrations, rich vegetation). These sites will be sampled by placing a test pit, no more than 1 x 1m in size, and excavating in 5–10 cm levels until bedrock or non-ornithogenic are encountered. Upon completion of the excavation, test pits will be refilled and any vegetation disturbed on the surface will be replaced. Collected sediment will be taken to the laboratory for processing. These sediments will be washed through fine-mesh screens; all organic remains will be sorted and preserved for identification and analysis. The applicant also plans to salvage whole or partial specimens, up to 10 of each species, of Antarctic seabirds and whole eggs that are found dead on beaches and at colonies. All of these specimens will be shipped to the home institution for identification and analysis.

The agency has conducted special safety studies and produced dozens of accident reports generating over 100 safety recommendations on the issue. However, the Board has not made a new recommendation on substance-impaired driving in a decade. During that time, traffic deaths from all causes have dropped, but the percentage of those killed by a substance-impaired driver has remained unchanged.

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD


Reaching Zero: Actions to Eliminate Substance-Impaired Driving 
Forum

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will convene a 
Public Forum to address Substance-Impaired Driving which will begin at 
8:30 a.m., Tuesday, May 15, 2012. NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman 
will chair the two-day forum and all five Board Members will 
participate. The forum is open to all and free to attend (there is no 
registration).
    Substance-impaired driving kills over ten thousand Americans every 
year and injures many more. Over 90 percent of all transportation 
deaths occur on our roads and one-third of these fatalities involve 
impairment from alcohol or drugs.
    Since the invention of the automobile, policymakers, law 
enforcement, safety activists, and communities have struggled with how 
to stop substance-impaired driving; and it has been a major NTSB 
concern for more than 40 years. The agency has conducted special safety 
studies and produced dozens of accident reports generating over 100 
safety recommendations on the issue. However, the Board has not made a 
new recommendation on substance-impaired driving in a decade. During 
that time, traffic deaths from all causes have dropped, but the 
percentage of those killed by a substance-impaired driver has remained 
unchanged.
    The forum will identify the most effective, data-driven, science-
based actions needed to ``reach zero'' accidents resulting from 
substance-impaired driving. This includes taking a fresh look at the 
Board's previous work and assessing the need for updated or new safety 
recommendations. Panels will critically examine the knowledge, 
interventions, and public policy considerations needed to address this 
national safety problem aggressively.
    All of these areas will be explored through expert panelists 
including representatives of federal, state, and local governments;

treatment experts, and
