SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Antarctic
emergency response plan and
environmental protection information.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0180.
Abstract: NSF, pursuant to the
Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (16
U.S.C. 2401 et seq.) (‘‘ACA’’) regulates
certain non-governmental activities in
Antarctica. The ACA was amended in
1996 by the Antarctic Science, Tourism,
and Conservation Act. On September 7,
2001, NSF published a final rule in the
Federal Register (66 FR 46739)
implementing certain of these statutory
amendments. The rule requires nongovernmental Antarctic expeditions
using non-U.S. flagged vessels to ensure
that the vessel owner has an emergency
response plan. The rule also requires
persons organizing a non-governmental
expedition to provide expedition
members with information on their
environmental protection obligations
under the Antarctic Conservation Act.
Expected Respondents. Respondents
may include non-profit organizations
and small and large businesses. The
majority of respondents are anticipated
to be U.S. tour operators, currently
estimated to number fifteen.
Burden on the Public. The Foundation
estimates that a one-time paperwork and
recordkeeping burden of 40 hours or
less, at a cost of $500 to $1400 per
respondent, will result from the
emergency response plan requirement
contained in the rule. Presently, all
respondents have been providing
expedition members with a copy of the
Guidance for Visitors to the Antarctic
(prepared and adopted at the Eighteenth
Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting
as Recommendation XVIII–1). Because
this Antarctic Treaty System document
satisfies the environmental protection
information requirements of the rule, no
additional burden shall result from the
environmental information
requirements in the proposed rule.
