Sec. 641.11  Policy.

    It is the policy of NSF to use all practicable means, consistent 
with its authority, to ensure that potential environmental effects of 
actions undertaken by NSF in Antarctica, either independently or in 
cooperation with another country, are appropriately identified and 
considered during the decisionmaking process, and that appropriate 
environmental safeguards which would limit, mitigate or prevent adverse 
impacts on the Antarctic environment are identified.
