Interagency Agreement No. NPS-IA-1100-9-0001/DPP89-12135 Modification No. 3

自1986年以来，公众对南极洲的兴趣急剧增加。作为回应，商业旅游经营者扩大了他们的南极业务，特别是在南极半岛地区。由于许多游客是美国公民，访问美国南极站的需求也有所增加。作为美国南极洲国家计划的管理者，国家科学基金会正试图在不对研究计划产生重大影响的情况下满足纳税游客的需求。由于国家公园管理局在规划和管理美国各地公园和其他景点的游客方面拥有丰富的经验，NSF寻求他们的帮助，以制定计划，为游客提供非正式访问美国站，而不会增加美国在南极洲有限资源的压力。根据这份跨部门协议的条款，国家公园管理局将帮助NSF制定、规划和介绍解说节目和其他游客活动，并将向NSF提供以下内容：o一盘录像带（约15分钟长），供参观帕尔默站的游客观看。o 1990年1月至3月在帕尔默车站提供口译服务。o规划及其他由两个机构决定的服务。

Since 1986, public interest in Antarctica has increased dramatically. In response commercial tour operators have expanded their antarctic operations, particularly in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Because many of the tourists are U.S. citizens, the demand for visits to U.S. Antarctic Stations also has increased. The National Science Foundation, as manager of the U.S. national program in Antarctica, is attempting to meet the demands of taxpaying tourists without significant impact to the research program. Because the National Park Service has extensive experience in planning and managing tourists at parks and other sites throughout the United States, NSF has sought their assistance to develop programs that will provide tourists with informal access to U.S. stations without increasing pressures on limited U.S. resources in Antarctica. Under the terms of this interagency agreement, the National Park Service will help NSF formulate, plan, and present interpretive programs and other visitor activities and will provide NSF with the following: o a video tape (approximately 15 minutes long) to be shown to tourists visiting Palmer Station. o interpreter services at Palmer Station between January and March 1990. o planning and other services as determined by both agencies.
