Memorandum No. 6646 (February 5,
1982) (available from the National
Science Foundation, Office of Polar
Programs, Suite 755, 4201 Wilson

determine whether an individual is
physically and mentally suited to
endure the extreme hardships imposed
by the Arctic and Antarctic continents,
while also performing specific duties as
specified by their employers.
Respondents: All non-DoD uniformed
personnel planning to deploy to U.S.
stations in the Antarctic or to specified
regions of the Arctic that are sponsored
by the National Science Foundation’s
Office of Polar Programs.
The number of Annual Respondents:
3,500 to the Antarctic and 150 to the
Arctic.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 36,500 hours.
Frequency of Responses: This form is
submitted upon an individual’s first

Arctic and annually thereafter for the
duration of the individual’s
deployments.
Comments: Comments are invited on
