    The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced they have received a permit application under the Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978.

These instruments, known as Argo floats, will collect important environmental data, such as temperature and salinity, to help with weather forecasting and environmental monitoring. The public is invited to comment on the permit by March 4, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The National Science Foundation got a request to put special floating tools called Argo floats in the ocean near Antarctica to collect information about the water. People can share their thoughts on this plan before March 4, 2021, because the floats might be left in the ocean after they're done working, which could be like leaving litter in the sea.

    Citation:86 FR 10911
    Reading Time:about 21 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing an amendment to a previous exclusion of certain wastes from being classified as hazardous.

Public comments on this proposal are welcomed until March 25, 2021.
