Notice of Permit Modification Issued Under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978, 1791-1792 [2022-00443]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 12, 2022 / Notices In this notice, OSHA also announces the final decision to add one new test standard to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 below lists the standard that is new to the NRTL Program. OSHA has determined that this test standard is an appropriate test standard and will add it to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. TABLE 2—STANDARD OSHA IS ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS Test standard Test standard title UL 2580 ......... Standard for Safety Batteries for Use in Electric Vehicles. OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before using them in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope of recognition does not include these products. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the test standard listed above as an American National Standard. However, for convenience, OSHA may use the designation of the standards-developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 01–00–004, Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards determined to be appropriate test standards may be approved for NRTL recognition. Any NRTL recognized for an appropriate test standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 A. Conditions In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, UL must abide by the following conditions of the recognition: 1. UL must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the change(s); 2. UL must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and 3. UL must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, including all previously published conditions on UL’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Jan 11, 2022 Jkt 256001 Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope of recognition of UL, subject to the limitations and conditions specified above.

Applicant: Jonathan Hong, COO XM2 Aerial Pty Ltd., 15143 Waterman Dr., Van Nuys CA 91406. Activity for Which Permit is Requested: Waste Management. The VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Jan 11, 2022 Jkt 256001 applicant seeks an Antarctic Conservation Act permit for waste management activities associated with the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in Antarctica. The applicant proposes using multiple UAS for commercial filmmaking purposes in areas surrounding the Antarctica Peninsula. UAS are only to be flown by pre-approved pilots with extensive flight experience. The applicant includes various mitigation measures to limit potential impacts to the environment. These measures include the following: Safety measures that minimize the risk of equipment failure, using observers to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and to aid in possible retrieval, not flying above any concentrations of wildlife and disinfecting UAVs after flight to prevent possible contamination between operation sites. The applicant seeks a waste permit to cover any accidental release that may result from UAS use. Location: Antarctic Peninsula Region. Dates of Permitted Activities: March 1, 2022–February 28, 2023.

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. Now the applicant proposes a modification to his permit to increase the number of individuals permitted for coastal camping activities to be increased from 40 to 50 participants for operator’s remaining 2021–2022 season. 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: November 2, 2017–March 30, 2022. The permit modification was issued on December 14, 2021. Erika N. Davis, Program Specialist, Office of Polar Programs.
