Application Details
1. Applicant Permit Application:
2014–009, Peter West, National Science
Foundation, Arlington Virginia.
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
ASPA Entry; The National Science
Foundation, as U.S. taxpayer supported
government agency, routinely selects
members of the U.S. news media to visit
Antarctica and report on the science the
foundation facilitates there. The
newsgathering process requires
journalists to visit specific sites and to
speak with the researchers conducting
science there. Any interviews,
photographs or video gathered during
visits to ASPAs would be used to inform
the general public about the importance
of the science conducted on the
continent. Visits to the ASPAs listed in
this application would take place in
conjunction with valid scientific
activities, for the express purposes of
gathering images, footage, or
information on scientific research,
general scenic locations, and interviews
with scientists working in the field.
Journalists visiting Antarctica will be
accompanied at all times by an NSF
staff ‘‘escort’’. The escort will be a
person who has years of experience
working with field parties, with
scientists and with journalists. The
escort is cognizant of—and will follow
the requirements contained in—the
ASPA management plans and the
Antarctic Conservation Act. They will
insure that every effort is made to
practice ‘‘low impact’’ documentary
procedures with regard to the natural
environment as well as to adhere to all
USAP operations and procedures.

mPowerTM Design-Specific Review
Standard
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Design-Specific Review
Standard (DSRS) for the mPowerTM
Design; re-opening of comment period.
AGENCY:
On May 14, 2013, the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
published a request for public comment
on the DSRS for the mPowerTM design
(mPowerTM DSRS). The purpose of the
mPowerTM DSRS is to more fully
integrate the use of risk insights into the
review of a design certification (DC), an
early site permit (ESP) or a combined
license (COL) that incorporates the
mPowerTM design. The public comment
period was originally scheduled to close
on August 16, 2013. Generation mPower
submitted a letter on August 8, 2013
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13224A163),
requesting an extension of the public
comment period until September 16,
2012, on specific sections of the
mPowerTM DSRS. The NRC has decided
to re-open the public comment period
on those specific sections of the
mPowerTM DSRS to allow more time for
members of the public to assemble their
comments on those sections.
DATES: The comment period has been
re-opened and now closes on September
16, 2013. Comments received after this
date will be considered, if it is practical
to do so, but the Commission is able to
ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any of the following methods (unless
this document describes a different
method for submitting comments on a
specific subject):
• Federal Rulemaking Web site: Go to
https://www.regulations.gov and search
for Docket ID NRC–2013–0089. Address
