Notice of permits issued under the Antarctic Conservation of 1978, Public Law 95–541. AGENCY: ACTION: 1. Applicant Jennifer Burns, Department of Biological Sciences, CPISB 202C, VerDate Mar<15>2010 Take and Enter Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPA’s). The applicant plans to study the interactions between reproduction, molt, and condition is particularly important in Weddell seals, as molt coincides with the end of embryonic diapause and the start of active gestation. The research will address three fundamental questions: (1) What intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors determine molt phenology in Weddell seals; (2) How does late season condition and molt status influence current pregnancy and future parturition rates; and (3) To what extent might changes in food availability during the austral summer impact molt timing and future reproductive success. To achieve project goals, 24 adult females of known-age and knownreproductive history will receive a full health assessment (mass, morphometrics, blood and tissue samples) and be outfitted with VHF (to facilitate relocation) and TDR/GPS tags (to track mid-summer behavior). Should any of these females be accompanied by nursing pups, the pups will be flipper tagged and weighed. In addition to handling activities, a range-wide population survey will be conducted. The applicant plans to enter ASPA 121Cape Royds, ASPA 155-Cape Evans, and/or ASPA 157-Backdoor Bay, Cape Royds should any seals be relocated in the area. The applicant plans to salvage tissue samples from dead seals if found. 16:40 May 31, 2013 Jkt 229001 PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33115 The National Science Foundation (NSF) is required to publish notice of permits issued under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978.
