SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C. 

209 provides federal agencies with 

authority to grant exclusive licenses in 

federally-owned inventions which are 

or may be patentable, if, among other 

things, the agency finds that the public 

will be served by the granting of the 

license. The statute requires that no 

exclusive license may be granted unless 

public notice of the intent to grant the 

license has been provided, and the 

agency has considered all comments 

received in response to that public 

notice, before the end of the comment 

period. 

Berwanger, Inc., of Houston, TX has 

applied for an exclusive license to TSS 

and has plans for its commercialization. 

The exclusive license will be subject to 

a license and other rights retained by 

the U.S. Government, and other terms 

and conditions to be negotiated. DOE 

intends to negotiate to grant the license, 

unless, within 30 days of this notice, the 

Assistant General Counsel for 

Technology Transfer and Intellectual 

Property, Department of Energy, 

Washington, DC 20585, receives in 

writing any of the following, together 

with supporting documents: 

(i) A statement from any person 

setting forth reasons why it would not 

be in the best interests of the United 

States to grant the proposed license; or 

(ii) An application for a nonexclusive 

license to the software in which 

applicant states that if already has 

brought the invention to practical 

application or is likely to bring the 

software to practical application 

expeditiously. 

The Department will review all timely 

written responses to this notice, and 

will proceed with negotiating the 

license if, after consideration of written 

responses to this notice, a finding is 

made that the license is in the public 

interest.

Issued in Washington, DC, on November 1, 

2004. 

Paul A. Gottlieb, 

Assistant General Counsel for Technology 

Transfer and Intellectual Property.

Environmental Impact Statements and 

Regulations; Availability of EPA 

Comments

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental 

Policy Act, as amended. Requests for 

copies of EPA comments can be directed 

to the Office of Federal Activities at

Draft EISs 

ERP No. D–AFS–G65093–NM Rating 

LO, San Diego Range Allotment Project, 

Proposes to Revise Grazing Program, 

Santa Fe National Forest, Jemez Ranger 

District, Township 17–19 North, Range 

1–3 East, Sandoval County, NM. 

Summary: EPA has no objection to the 

selection of the preferred alternative. 

ERP No. D–AFS–J65422–MT Rating 

EC2, West Side Reservoir Post-Fire 

Project, Proposed Implementation of 

Timber Salvage and Access 

Management Treatments, Flathead 

National Forest, Hungry Horse and 

Spotted Bear Ranger Districts, Flathead 

County, MT. 

Summary: EPA supports actions that 

promote watershed restoration. 

However, EPA expressed environmental 

concerns because all actions 

alternatives, including the preferred, 

have the potential to cause adverse 

impacts to riparian area, soils, water 

quality, and the threatened grizzly bear. 

The final EIS should maximize 

decommissioning of road, restrict ORV 

use from wetlands and other sensitive 

habitats, provide large snags and 

downed material to improve habitat 

quality and continue to minimize new 

road construction. 

ERP No. D–BLM–K65275–00 Rating 

LO, California Coastal National 

Monument Resource Management Plan, 

To Protect Important Biological and 

Geological Values: Islands, Rocks, 

Exposed Reefs, and Pinnacles above 

Mean High Tide, CA, OR and Mexico. 

Summary: EPA has no objection to the 

proposed BalancedManagement 

Alternative. 

ERP No. DS–GSA–G80000–TX Rating 

LO, Del Rio Port of Entry (POE), 

Increased Security Measures Associated 

with Phase II Expansion, Supplement to 

the 1992 Del Rio Border Patrol Station,

Blue Stewardship Project, Vegetation 

Management, Travel Management, and 

Dispersed Camping Sites Designation, 

Implementation, U.S. Army COE 404 

Permit, White River National Forest, 

Dillon Ranger District, Summit County, 

CO. 

Summary: EPA’s concerns were 

adequately addressed in the Final EIS; 

therefore, EPA has no objection to the 

proposed action. 

ERP No. F–FHW–H40176–MO US 40/

61 Bridge Location Study Over the 

Missouri River, Improvement of the 

Transportation System, section 9 of the 

Rivers and Harbor Act Permit, and U.S. 

Army COE section 10 and 404 Permits, 

Missouri River, St. Charles and St. Louis 

Counties, MO. 

Summary: The Final EIS adequately 

addresses issues raised by EPA in the 

review of the Draft EIS for this action; 

therefore, EPA has no additional 

comments related to the bridge 

construction as described in the Final 

EIS. 

ERP No. F–FHW–J40161–UT I–15, 

31st Street in Ogden to 2700 North in 

Farr West, Reconstruction, Widening 

and Interchange Improvements, 

Funding and U.S. Army COE section

Summary: EPA expressed concern 

about FHWA’s responses to EPA’s 

comments on the air quality analysis

L65443–OR Biscuit Fire Recovery 

Project, Various Management Activities 

Alternatives, Implementation, The 

Rogue River and Siskiyou National 

Forests, Josephine and Curry Counties, 

OR. 

Summary: The modified preferred 

alternative was well crafted to balance 

the need to salvage valuable wood, 

provide economic opportunities to the 

local community, and protect and 

restore the burn area. In addition to 

reducing the overall salvage acreage by 

a third, the modified preferred 

alternative includes additional riparian 

protection and has reduced salvage from 

64570 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2004 / Notices 

small openings within the 

LateSuccessional Reserves. The riparian 

buffers, culvert work, replanting, and 

benefits of decommissioning, closing, 

and stabilizing over 70 miles of roads 

should result in an overall, long term 

benefit to water quality. These changes 

address the significant concerns EPA 

raised in comments on the draft EIS.
