collection, the Directorate can calculate
submission rates and funding rates in
specific areas of research. Similarly, the
information can be used to identify
emerging areas of research, evaluate
changing infrastructure needs in the
research community, and track the
amount of international research. As the
National Science Foundation is
committed to funding cutting-edge
science, these factors all have
implications for program management.
The Directorate of Biological Sciences
has a continuing commitment to
monitor its information collection in
order to preserve its applicability and
necessity. Through periodic updates
and revisions, the Directorate ensures
that only useful, non-redundant
information is collected. These efforts
will reduce excessive reporting burdens.
Burden on the Public: The Directorate
estimates that an average of five minutes
is expended for each proposal
submitted. An estimated 6,500
responses are expected during the
course of one year for a total of 542
public burden hours annually.
Expected Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses:
6,500.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

(HITRD) Interagency Working Group
(IWG). The HITRD IWG is conducting a
listening session to engage experts from
industry, academia, and government on
solutions for advancing medical device
interoperability. This listening session
builds upon the February 2019 Request
for Information (RFI): Action on
Interoperability of Medical Devices,
Data, and Platforms to Enhance Patient
Care in which the HITRD IWG inquired
whether a vision of sustained
interoperability in the hospital and into
the community is feasible and, if so,
potential solutions to achieve this goal.
Further details of the RFI can be found
at 84 FR 4544 (February 15, 2019).
Responses to the RFI are available on
the NITRD website: HITRD-RFIResponses-2019.

a notice of requests to modify permits
issued to conduct activities regulated
and permits issued under the Antarctic
Conservation Act of 1978. NSF has

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

of 1996, has developed regulations for
the establishment of a permit system for
various activities in Antarctica and
designation of certain animals and
certain geographic areas a requiring
special protection.
NSF issued a permit (ACA 2018–010)
to David J. Smith on October 16, 2017.
The issued permit allows the permit
holder to introduce non-indigenous
species into Antarctica. Dormant
microbiological samples, pre-loaded
into and remaining within a triple
containment vessel, were brought to
Antarctica to be launched into the
Earth’s stratosphere as part of NASA’s
Long Duration Balloon program (LDB).
Details about the samples and the
containment vessel are provided in the
permit (attached). The microbiological
samples, still contained within the
vessel, will be returned to the USA and
the home institution after recovery of
the balloon payload.
Now the permit holder proposes a
permit modification to extend the dates
of the permitted activities with a new
permit expiration date of March 31,
2023 to allow for the possibility of a
flight aboard an LDB mission in an
upcoming austral summer season and
the subsequent recovery of the payload.
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: October
16, 2017 to March 31, 2023.
The permit modification was issued on
June 19, 2019.
