emissions detection and quantification, gas and liquid flow rate 
measurement, compositional analysis, and quantification for 
hydrocarbons and other substances, including but not limited to 
H<INF>2</INF>S, CO<INF>2</INF> and SO<INF>2</INF>, associated with the 
oil, gas and waste management industries at the well bore and/or below 
grade cavern, and associated above ground facilities for each; and/or 
similar fields of use thereto.

DATES: The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless NASA receives written objections, including evidence and 
argument no later than June 22, 2018 that establish that the grant of 
the license would not be consistent with the requirements regarding the 
licensing of federally owned inventions as set forth in the Bayh-Dole 
Act and implementing regulations. Competing applications completed and 
received by NASA no later than June 22, 2018 will also be treated as 
objections to the grant of the contemplated partially exclusive 
license. Objections submitted in response to this notice will not be 
made available to the public for inspection and, to the extent 
permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information 
Act.

ADDRESSES: Objections relating to the prospective license may be 
submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of Chief Counsel, NASA Langley 
Research Center, MS 30, Hampton, Virginia 23681. Phone (757) 864-3221. 
Facsimile (757) 864-9190.
