West Dayton Street, Madison,
Wisconsin, USA 53706—Permit
application No. 2020–014.
Activity for Which Permit Is
Requested—Enter Antarctic Specially
Protected Area (ASPA). The applicant
would enter ASPA 106, Cape Hallett, to
perform maintenance and updates on an
already installed automatic weather
station and to retrieve data collected
from the station. The permit holder and
agents would approach the area by
small fixed-wing aircraft and enter the
ASPA on foot. The permit holder would
adhere to all guidance in the ASPA
management plan.

applicant and agents propose to film
emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri)
underwater and on the sea ice, using
handheld cameras, pole-mounted
cameras, and cameras attached to
remotely piloted aircraft systems
