-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar 
Programs, has amended the waste management permit issued to Adventure 
Network International (ANI) under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 
1978. The amendment is a modification to an existing permit which is 
not a material change to the terms and conditions of the permit.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Nadene Kennedy, Permit Office, Office of Polar Programs, Rm. 755, 
National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 
22230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 19, 1996, the National Science 
Foundation received a request from ANI to issue a new waste management 
permit for ANI operations within Dronning Maud Land and the Sor Rondone 
and surrounding mountains in Antarctica. The operations proposed, air 
transport of clients and members of some national antarctic programs 
and support of climbing expeditions, are substantively the same and 
supplement those described in the ANI permit 96WM2 for the period of 
December 27, 1995 to December 26, 2000. Considering the exemplary 
performance of ANI in the administration of the terms and condition of 
past permits, the current permit, and the minor nature of the request, 
the permit 96WM2 is amended to include the referenced locations of ANI 
operations for the pendency of the permit.

Acting Deputy Director, Office of Polar Programs.
