ACTION: Notice of amendment to a permit issued under the Antarctic Conservation of 1978, Public Law 95-541. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Erick Chiang, Acting Deputy Director, Office of Polar Programs. [FR Doc. 96-22180 Filed 8-29-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7555-01-M
