Description of Permit Modification Requested: The Foundation issued a permit (ACA 2019–001) to Ron Naveen, Oceanites Inc., on August 7, 2018. The issued permit allows the permit holder and agents to engage in take and harmful interference, as well as to enter Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs), to continue data collections activities conducted to support the Antarctic Site Inventory. Visitor site surveys may include censusing penguin and seabird colonies throughout the Antarctic Peninsula. There is the potential for slight disturbance of the birds during surveying and censusing. This permit addresses the potential for infrequent, minimal take or harmful interference of the several penguin and other seabird species. While conducting visitor site surveys and censuses, the permit holder and agents may enter a number of ASPAs in the Antarctic Peninsula region. A recent modification to this permit, dated November 20, 2019, permitted the applicant to collect samples from adult gentoo penguins (Pygoselis papua) for genetic analysis in order to study range expansion, colonization of new areas, and gene flow. Now the applicant proposes a modification to his permit to include PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46887 use of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) to enable more efficient monitoring of penguin breeding colonies and to improve penguin censusing capabilities in the Antarctic Peninsula region. The applicant has included a detailed list of mitigation measures to limit disturbance to wild populations throughout operations. The applicant also seeks to include opportunistic guano sampling under the existing permit to assist in analysis of penguin diet. Guano samples will be collected during planned operations within penguin colonies and the disturbance to wildlife is expected to be minimal. Location: Western Antarctic Peninsula.
