DATES: Only written comments and/or

applications for a license which are

received by NIH on or before October

20, 1997 will be considered.

ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of these

patents, inquiries, comments, and other

materials relating to the contemplated

license should be directed to: J. Peter

Kim, Technology Licensing Specialist,

Office of Technology Transfer, National

Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive

Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

present invention relates to a method of

treating retroviral infections in

mammals via the use of an effective

amount of topoisomerase I inhibitor

such as camptothecin (CPT) and similar

compounds which act as inhibitors of

retrovial topoisomerase I, blocking both

the initiation of retroviral infection and

replication in target cells. As a

consequence of this mechanism of

action, use of such inhibitors provides

a potential means of reducing or

eliminating retroviral infections and

their deleterious consequences through

both human and veterinary medicine

applications.

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 sixty (60) 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.

Applications for a license filed in

response to this notice will be treated as

objections to the grant of 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. Copies of the subject

issued patents are available upon

request.

Notice of Realty Action; Nevada

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Direct sale of reversionary

interest in previously patented public

land in Lander County, NV.

SUMMARY: The following described land

in Lander County, Nevada, patented to

the Board of Regents, University of

Nevada under provisions of the

Recreation and Public Purposes Act, as

amended, has been examined and found

suitable for elimination of the

reversionary clause in the patent, under

provisions of Section 203 and Section

209 of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act (FLPMA) of October

21, 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1713 and 1719).

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 18 N., R. 41 E.,

Section 25, E1⁄2E1⁄2E1⁄2E1⁄2SE1⁄4;

consisting of 10 acres, more or less.

The above-described interest in the

land would be conveyed directly to the

present owner of record, the Board of

Regents, University of Nevada. This

interest will not be conveyed until at

least 60 days after the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy

Fry, Realty Specialist, Bureau of Land

Management, Battle Mountain Field

Office, 50 Bastian Road, P.O. Box 1420,

Battle Mountain, NV 89820, (702) 635–

4000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The land

was patented in 1969 for use as an

agriculture experiment station. The

patent (number 27–69–0155) includes a

clause providing for title to the land to

revert to the United States if the lands

are devoted to a use other than an

agriculture experiment station. A July,

1995, compliance inspection of the

facility, showed it was no longer in use

as an agricultural experiment station.

This was confirmed by the University

on December 5, 1995, and a request for

full title was made to the Bureau of

Land Management. This application to

purchase the reversionary interest of the

United States also constitutes an

application for conveyance of the

mineral interests. The applicant will be

required to submit a $50.00

nonrefundable filing fee for conveyance

of the mineral interest. Payment by the

University of Nevada of other fees

associated with this transaction will

also be required.

The land has been substantially

altered to the point where management

by the Bureau of Land Management

would not be feasible. The land is not

needed for any resource program and is

not suitable for management by another

Federal department or agency. It would

be difficult and uneconomic to manage,

if title reverted to the United States.

Upon publication of this Notice of

Realty Action in the Federal Register,

the lands will be segregated from all

forms of appropriation under the public

land laws, including the mining laws,

pursuant to Sections 203 and 209 of

FLPMA. The segregation shall terminate

upon issuance of a supplemental patent

or other document of conveyance, upon

publication in the Federal Register of a

termination of segregation, or 270 days

from date of this publication, which

ever occurs first.

Patent, when issued, will contain the

following reservations to the United

States:

1. A right-of-way for ditches and

canals constructed by the authority of

the United States, Act of August 30,

1890 (43 U.S.C. 945);

2. A right-of-way for Federal Aid

Highway CC–021379A constructed by

the authority of the Federal Aid

Highway Act of August 27, 1958, as

amended, 23 U.S.C. 317;

And will be subject to all other valid

existing rights.

For a period of 45 days from the date

of publication in the Federal Register,

interested parties may submit comments

to the District Manager, Battle Mountain

District, 50 Bastian Way, Box 1420,

Battle Mountain, NV 89820. Any

adverse comments will be evaluated by

the State Director, who may sustain,

vacate or modify this realty action and

issue a final determination. In the

absence of timely filed objections, this

realty action will become a final

determination of the Department of the

Interior.

Dated: August 1, 1997.

Gerald M. Smith,

District Manager.
