These studies may require the applicant and agents to enter into six ASPAs in the area. Research involves capture and release of up to 675 Weddell seal pups at one to four days after birth for flipper tagging per year. Now the applicant proposes a permit modification to increase the total take of Weddell seal pups for flipper tagging from 675 to 1000. 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. Dates of Permitted Activities: November 22, 2017 to September 30, 2022. The permit modification was issued on November 22, 2017. Nadene G. Kennedy, Polar Coordination Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.

PTA.
    The request is being treated pursuant to section 2.206 of title 10

    [ssquf] Inappropriate geological sampling procedures for sediment 
collection, and
    [ssquf] Inappropriate data evaluation methods (leading to dilution 
of samples) to determine the presence of depleted uranium outside the 
ranges associated with the Pohakuloa Training Area.
    As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on 
this petition within a reasonable time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22th day of November 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
