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.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 27, 2013 / Notices 13367 

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,

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. TRIPwire 

was 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 government 

entities, 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.
