to Vivione Biosciences, LLC, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware having its headquarters in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The United States of America is the assignee of the rights in the above inventions. The contemplated exclusive license may be granted in a field of use limited to devices for detecting volatile compounds indicative of food spoilage.

**DATES :**  Only written comments and/or applications for a license received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before March 29, 2013 will be considered.

**ADDRESSES :**  Requests for a copy of the patent application, inquiries, comments and other materials relating to the contemplated license should be directed to: Michael A. Shmilovich, Esq., CLP, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852–3804; Telephone: (301) 435– 5019; Facsimile: (301) 402–0220; Email: shmilovm@mail.nih.gov. A signed confidentiality nondisclosure agreement will be required to receive copies of any patent applications that have not been published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the World Intellectual Property Organization.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The patent applications (including any patents issuing therefrom or claiming priority thereto) intended for licensure describe and claim indicator strips for monitoring food quality and freshness in real time. The major factor for food spoilage is the release of volatile gases due to the action of enzymes contained within the food or produced by microorganisms growing in the food. The rate of release of such gases depends on food’s storage history. In this technology, a reactive dye locked in a water-repellent material reacts with the gases released during food decomposition, and changes color. Thus a rapid and informed decision can be made about quality of food and its shelf life under the storage conditions used. Since the detection is based on biological processes that are the root cause for food spoilage, these indicators are much more reliable. This technology provides an alternative to the current methods for assessing food quality that cannot accurately estimate shelf life of food products due to unreliable storage history. These indicators have been successfully tested on seafood and meats and can be easily adapted to dairy products.

The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within thirty (30) days from the date of this published notice, NIH receives written evidence and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37
CFR 404.7.

Properly filed competing applications for a license filed in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the contemplated license. Comments and objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available for public inspection, and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act,
5 U.S.C. 552.

Dated: February 20, 2013. Richard Rodriguez, Director, Division of Technology Development and Transfer, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health.

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; or

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Technical Resource for Incident Prevention (TRIPwire) is OBP’s online, collaborative, information-sharing network for bomb squad, law enforcement, and other emergency services personnel to learn about current terrorist improvised explosive device (IED) tactics, techniques, and procedures, including design and emplacement considerations. TRIPwirewas established as an IED informationsharing resource under Homeland Security Presidential Directive 19 (HSPD–19), which calls for a unified national policy for the prevention and detection of, protection against, and response to terrorist use of explosives in the United States. Users from Federal, state, local, and tribal governmententities, as well as business and forprofit industries can register through the TRIPwire Secure Portal. The TRIPwire portal contains sensitive information related to terrorist use of explosives and therefore user information is needed to verify eligibility and access to the system. TRIPwire applicants must provide their full name, assignment, citizenship, job title, employer name, professional address and contact information, as well as an Employment Verification Contact and their contact information. The system does not store sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) such as social security numbers. The collection of PII by TRIPwire to establish user accounts occurs in accordance with the DHS Privacy Impact Assessment PIA–015, ‘‘DHS Web Portals,’’ DHS/ALL–004— General Information Technology Access Account Records System (GITAARS) September 29, 2009, 74 FR 49882, and DHS/ALL–002—Department of Homeland Security Mailing and Other Lists System November 25, 2008, 73 FR 71659. The TRIPwire User Registration is a voluntary registration designed to measure users’ suitability to access the
secure environment. The information collected during the TRIPwire user registration process is reviewed electronically by the project team to vet the user’s ‘‘need to know,’’ which determines their eligibility for and access to TRIPwire. Memberships are re-verified annually based on the information users provide upon registration or communication with the TRIPwire help desk analysts. The information collected is for internal TRIPwire and OBP use only.
