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.
