Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 23, 2024 / Notices 4341 

We have uploaded the records 

schedules and accompanying appraisal 

memoranda to the regulations.gov 

docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ 

documents. Each records schedule 

contains a full description of the records 

at the file unit level as well as their 

proposed disposition. The appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule includes 

information about the records. 

We will post comments, including 

any personal information and 

attachments, to the public docket 

unchanged. Because comments are 

public, you are responsible for ensuring 

that you do not include any confidential 

or other information that you or a third 

party may not wish to be publicly 

posted. If you want to submit a 

comment with confidential information 

or cannot otherwise use the 

regulations.gov portal, you may contact 

request.schedule@nara.gov for 

instructions on submitting your 

comment. 

We will consider all comments 

submitted by the posted deadline and 

consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we may or may not make changes to the 

proposed records schedule. The 

schedule is then sent for final approval 

by the Archivist of the United States. 

After the schedule is approved, we will 

post on regulations.gov a ‘‘Consolidated 

Reply’’ summarizing the comments, 

responding to them, and noting any 

changes we made to the proposed 

schedule. You may elect at 

regulations.gov to receive updates on 

the docket, including an alert when we 

post the Consolidated Reply, whether or 

not you submit a comment. If you have 

a question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. Some schedules are 

comprehensive and cover all the records 

of an agency or one of its major 

subdivisions. Most schedules, however, 

cover records of only one office or 

program or a few series of records. Many 

of these update previously approved 

schedules, and some include records 

proposed as permanent. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.

II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘10 CFR part 

81, ‘Standard Specification for the 

Granting of Patent Licenses.’’’ The NRC 

hereby informs potential respondents 

that an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and that a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

September 18, 2023, 88 FR 63981. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Part 81 of title 10 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Standard Specification for the Granting 

of Patent Licenses.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0121. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: 

Not applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Applications for licenses 

are submitted once. Other reports are 

submitted annually, or as other events 

require. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Applicants for and holders of 

NRC licenses to NRC inventions. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 3.5. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 10. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 10; however, no applications 

are anticipated during the next 3 years. 

10. Abstract: As specified in 10 CFR 

part 81, the NRC may grant 

nonexclusive licenses or limited 

exclusive licenses to its patented 

inventions to responsible applicants. 

Applicants for licenses to NRC 

inventions are required to provide 

information which may provide the 

basis for granting the requested license. 

In addition, all license holders must 

submit periodic reports on efforts to 

bring the invention to a point of 

practical application and the extent to 

which they are making the benefits of 

the invention reasonably accessible to 

the public. Exclusive license holders 

must submit additional information if 

they seek to extend their licenses, issue 

sublicenses, or transfer the licenses. In 

addition, if requested, exclusive license 

holders must promptly supply to the 

United States Government copies of all 

pleadings and other papers filed in any 

patent infringement lawsuit, as well as 

evidence from proceedings relating to 

the licensed patent.
