SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Science Foundation, as
directed by the Antarctic Conservation
Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541), as
amended by the Antarctic Science,
Tourism and Conservation Act 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 as requiring
special protection. The regulations
establish such a permit system to
designate Antarctic Specially Protected
Areas.
Description of Permit Modification
Requested: The Foundation issued a
permit (ACA 2018–015) to Polar
Latitudes Inc. on November 2, 2017. The
issued permit allows the applicant to
conduct waste management activities
associated with coastal camping and
operating remotely piloted aircraft
systems (RPAS) In the Antarctic
Peninsula region.
On October 5, 2021, NSF issued a
permit modification authorizing waste
management activities associated with
planned operations for the 2021–2022
field season. This modification included
slight changes in operation. For the
2021–2022 season, Polar Latitudes plans
to operate the MS SEAVENTURE, which
will carry 149 passengers and 15–20
expedition staff. Polar Latitudes
requested that the number of
individuals permitted for coastal
camping activities be increased from 30
participants to 40 participants and four
expedition guides, with increased
equipment brought onshore to support a
larger group. Polar Latitudes also
updated their RPAS policies, which are
still in accordance with standards put
forth by IATTO and the ATCM.
Now the applicant proposes a
modification to this permit to authorize
waste management activities associated
with newly proposed onshore activities
to be conducted in the the 2021–2022
Antarctic season. The applicant
proposes conducting multiple one-day
reconnaissance expeditions led by a
