common analysis is potent and can
greatly inform studies on the feeding
behavior of whales in the region. The
applicants would use standard dartbiopsy methods that have been used for
more than 2 decades and are proven to
be both humane and appropriate. A
small sterilized stainless steel tip would
be attached to the end of a customized
crossbow bolt that has a flotation
stopper engineered on to it. When the
dart hits the whale, it penetrates the
outermost skin and collects a ∼10×5 mm
sample of both skin and blubber. These
samples are placed in sterilized
cryovials and kept in ¥20 °C freezers
until they are shipped frozen back to the
labs for analysis. For satellite tagging,
they are testing specific hypotheses
regarding how the movement and
behavior of humpback whales relates to
that of their prey, Antarctic krill, and
sea ice in the Antarctic environment.
Satellite-transmitting tags offer the
opportunity to track the movement of
individual whales over long time
periods and in relation to physical
processes in their environment. They
will deploy 10 satellite-linked
implantable tags, designed to a
maximum of 290mm into the back of the
whale (generally just forward and to the
left or right side of the dorsal fin). The
tag is designed to penetrate just beneath
the skin and hypodermis to anchor the
tag. All external components of the tag
are built from stainless steel and the tag
is surgically sterilized prior to
deployment. Each tag is deployed with
the use of a compressed air gun. Once
deployed, each tag turns on during the
subsequent dive of the whale. Tags will
then transmit upon each initial
surfacing, and each 30 seconds of
subsequent ‘dry time’ until the tag falls
off the whale, malfunctions or the single
AA lithium battery is exhausted.
Investigators with significant experience
in these methods would conduct both
biopsy and satellite tagging.
Location: Antarctic Peninsula
between Marguerite Bay and the
Gerlache Strait, inshore waters.
Dates: January 1, 2015–December 31,
2018.

Review; Comment Request
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of
information collection and solicitation

AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) has recently
submitted to OMB for review the
following proposal for the collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment

July 2, 2014.
1. Type of submission, new, revision,
or extension: Extension.
2. The title of the information
collection: NRC Form 483, ‘‘Registration
Certificate—In Vitro Testing with
Byproduct Material Under General
License.’’
3. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0038.
4. How often the collection is
required: There is a one-time submittal
of information to receive a validated
copy of NRC Form 483 with an assigned
registration number. In addition, any
changes in the information reported on
NRC Form 483 must be reported in
writing to the NRC within 30 days after
the effective date of such change.
5. Who will be required or asked to
report: Any physician, veterinarian in
the practice of veterinary medicine,
clinical laboratory or hospital which
desires a general license to receive,
acquire, possess, transfer, or use
specified units of byproduct material in
certain in vitro clinical or laboratory
tests.
6. An estimate of the number of
annual responses: 8 responses.
7. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 8 respondents.
8. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to complete the
requirement or request: 1.18 hours (1.07
