to the respiratory tract of products, 

comprised of COV44–62 (fusion 

peptide), COV44–79 (fusion peptide), 

COV89–22 (stem helix), and/or COV72– 

37 (stem helix), including products that 

may be obtained from the genetic 

sequence of the same and derivatives 

thereof. The prospective exclusive 

patent commercialization license may 

include two products (preventative and 

therapeutic) in the field of use. 

An abstract for this invention was 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 10, 2022. The family of 

coronaviruses cause upper respiratory 

tract disease in humans and have 

caused three major disease outbreaks in 

recent history: the 2003 SARS outbreak, 

the 2012 MERS outbreak, and the 

current SARS–CoV–2 pandemic. There 

is an urgent need for strategies that 

broadly target coronaviruses, both to 

deal with new SARS–CoV–2 variants 

and future coronavirus outbreaks. 

Scientists at NIAID have developed 

several novel human monoclonal 

antibodies that bind to conserved parts 

of the SARS–CoV–2 spike protein. 

These antibodies can neutralize SARS– 

CoV–2 variants of concern including 

Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, as well as 

neutralize at least one other 

betacoronavirus. Further, these 

antibodies limit disease in animal 

models. Broadly reactive antibodies 

against coronaviruses are useful tools to 

identify conserved sites on the 

coronavirus spike protein, which could 

be investigated for the development of 

broad coronavirus vaccines that aim to 

prevent future pandemics. Potent 

neutralizers that target these sites could 

also be useful for prevention of disease 

caused by diverse coronaviruses, 

including those that may emerge in the 

future. 

This notice is made in accordance 

with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. 

The prospective exclusive patent 

commercialization license will be 

royalty bearing, and may be granted 

unless within fifteen (15) days from the 

date of this published notice, the 

National Institute of Allergy and 

Infectious Diseases 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 part 404. 

Complete applications for a license in 

the prospective field of use that are 

timely filed in response to this notice 

will be treated as objections to the grant 

of the contemplated exclusive patent 

commercialization 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. 522.

Proposed Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on 

proposed flood hazard determinations, 

which may include additions or 

modifications of any Base Flood 

Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, 

Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) 

boundary or zone designation, or 

regulatory floodway on the Flood 

Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and 

where applicable, in the supporting 

Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for 

the communities listed in the table 

below. The purpose of this notice is to 

seek general information and comment 

regarding the preliminary FIRM, and 

where applicable, the FIS report that the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) has provided to the affected 

communities. The FIRM and FIS report 

are the basis of the floodplain 

management measures that the 

community is required either to adopt 

or to show evidence of having in effect 

in order to qualify or remain qualified 

for participation in the National Flood 

Insurance Program (NFIP). 

DATES: Comments are to be submitted 

on or before January 17, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and 

where applicable, the FIS report for 

each community are available for 

inspection at both the online location 

https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/ 

prelimdownload and the respective 

Community Map Repository address 

listed in the tables below. Additionally, 

the current effective FIRM and FIS 

report for each community are 

accessible online through the FEMA 

Map Service Center at https://

msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

proposes to make flood hazard 

determinations for each community 

listed below, in accordance with section 

110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act 

of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 

67.4(a). 

These proposed flood hazard 

determinations, together with the 

floodplain management criteria required 

by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that 

are required. They should not be 

construed to mean that the community 

must change any existing ordinances 

that are more stringent in their 

floodplain management requirements. 

The community may at any time enact 

stricter requirements of its own or 

pursuant to policies established by other 

Federal, State, or regional entities. 

These flood hazard determinations are 

used to meet the floodplain 

management requirements of the NFIP. 

The communities affected by the 

flood hazard determinations are 

provided in the tables below. Any 

request for reconsideration of the 

revised flood hazard information shown 

on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS report 

that satisfies the data requirements 

outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b) is considered 

an appeal. Comments unrelated to the 

flood hazard determinations also will be 

considered before the FIRM and FIS 

report become effective. 

Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel 

(SRP) is available to communities in 

support of the appeal resolution 

process. SRPs are independent panels of 

experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and 

other pertinent sciences established to 

review conflicting scientific and 

technical data and provide 

recommendations for resolution. Use of 

the SRP only may be exercised after 

FEMA and local communities have been 

engaged in a collaborative consultation 

process for at least 60 days without a 

mutually acceptable resolution of an 

appeal. Additional information 

regarding the SRP process can be found 

online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/ 

srp_overview.pdf. 

The watersheds and/or communities 

affected are listed in the tables below. 

The Preliminary FIRM, and where 

applicable, FIS report for each 

community are available for inspection 

at both the online location https://

hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/
