Applicant: Michael Hjorth, Head of Production, Albatros Expeditions US Ltd., 4770 Biscayne Boulevard PHR, Miami, FL 33137. Activity for Which Permit is Requested: Waste Management. The applicant proposes to conduct waste management activities associated with the support of a marathon, conducted by Marathon Tours and Travel, on King George Island. Support of the marathon would include the operation of All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).

The RPAS consisting, in part, of a quadcopter equipped with cameras to collect commercial and educational footage of the Antarctic. The quadcopter would not be flown over concentrations of birds or mammals, or over Antarctic Specially Protected Areas or Historic Sites and Monuments. The RPAS would only be operated by pilots with extensive experience. Several measures would be taken to prevent against loss of the quadcopter including painting the them a highly visible color; only flying when the wind is less than 25 knots; flying for only 15 minutes at a time to preserve battery life; having prop guards E:\FR\FM\19FEN1.SGM 19FEN1 9484 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 33 / Wednesday, February 19, 2020 / Notices on propeller tips, a flotation device if operated over water, and an ‘‘auto go home’’ feature in case of loss of control link or low battery; having an observer on the lookout for wildlife, people, and other hazards; and ensuring that the separation between the operator and quadcopter does not exceed an operational range of 500 meters.
