NSF issued a permit (ACA 2016–008) to David Rootes, Environmental Manager, Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions, LLC, on October 23, 2015. The issued permit allows the applicant to operate a remote camp at Union Glacier, Antarctica, and provide logistical support services for scientific and other expeditions, film crews, and tourists. These activities include aircraft support, cache positioning, camp and field support, resupply, search and rescue, medevac, medical support and logistic support for some National Operators. Now the applicant proposes a permit modification to continue permitted activities, including minimization, mitigation, and monitoring of waste, for the 2017–2018 Antarctic season. The Environmental Officer has reviewed the modification request and has determined that the amendment is not a material change to the permit, and it will have a less than a minor or transitory impact. The permit modification was issued on October 6, 2017. Nadene G. Kennedy, Polar Coordination Specialist, Division of Polar Programs.

The Antarctic Support Contractor’s staff provides routine logistics support in the transport of science teams and supporting personnel, and in field camp put-in and take-out. Entry into an ASPA would occur only to support a science project for which a permit has been issued. Entry needs and requirements will be reviewed by ASC Environmental Health and Safety Department prior to entry and reported per standard procedures. A recent modification to this permit, dated March 9, 2017, permitted the applicant to enter ASPA No. 126, Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island. Now the applicant proposes a permit modification to enter ASPA No. 161, Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea and ASPA No. 173, Cape Washington and Silverfish Bay, Terra Nova bay, Ross Sea for the purposes described in this permit.

The issued permit allows the applicant to enter nine Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs) in the Ross Sea region for the purposes of gathering professional video footage, still photographs, and to interview scientists. Visits to these ASPAs are limited and only occur as logistics and scientific conditions allow. Entry needs and requirements will be reviewed by ASC Environmental Health and Safety Department prior to entry and reported per standard procedures.

II. Additional Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a DG in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information regarding methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The NRC staff is issuing DG–8056 for public comment to address issues identified by the NRC staff and other stakeholders subsequent to the issuance of RG 8.7, Revision 3 in December 2016. Revision 3 was issued as a draft (with a temporary identification of DG–8030) for public comment on August 28, 2015 (80 FR 52345) under ADAMS Accession No. ML15169A218. The public comment period for Revision 3 closed on October 27, 2015. The NRC received one set of comments from an industry association. Those comments and the NRC staff’s responses are available under ADAMS Accession No. ML16060A392. The NRC issued Revision 3 in its final form on December 8, 2016 (81 FR 88710). The final version of Revision 3, however, modified a staff position regarding the consideration of prior occupational dose, and whether that should be a factor in licensee occupational monitoring determinations in accordance with 10 CFR 20.1502.
