affiliated CDFI. This regulatory revision 

affects only the Affiliate’s ability to meet 

the financing entity requirement for 

CDFI certification: said entity must meet 

the other five certification criteria in 

accordance with the existing regulation. 

Further, in this revised regulation, the 

CDFI Fund reserves the authority, in its 

discretion, to set additional parameters 

and restrictions on the financing entity 

requirement, which will be set forth in 

the Notice of Guarantee Availability 

(NOGA) for a particular application 

round of the CDFI Bond Guarantee 

Program. Such additional parameters or 

restrictions may include, for example, 

(i) a deadline by which the Affiliate 

must meet the financing entity 

requirement based on its own merit or 

activity, rather than relying on that of 

the affiliated CDFI, and (ii) a 

requirement that the affiliated CDFI 

must maintain its CDFI certification 

until such time that the Affiliate is able 

to meet all CDFI certification 

requirements based on its own merit or 

activity. 

Regulatory Analysis and Notices 

Executive Order 12866 

It has been determined that this rule 

is not a significant regulatory action as 

defined in Executive Order 12866. 

Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not 

required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required under the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553) or any other law, the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act does not apply. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collections of information 

contained in this interim rule have been 

previously reviewed and approved by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 

assigned OMB Control Numbers 1559– 

0006, 1559–0021, and 1559–0022. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a valid control number 

assigned by OMB. This document 

restates the collections of information 

without substantive change. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

This revised interim rule has been 

reviewed in accordance with 12 CFR 

part 1815. The CDFI Fund’s 

Environmental Regulations under the 

National Environmental Protection Act 

of 1969 (NEPA) require that the CDFI 

Fund adequately consider the 

cumulative impact proposed activities 

have upon the human environment. It is 

the determination of the CDFI Fund that 

the interim rule does not constitute a 

major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment and, in accordance with 

the NEPA and the CDFI Fund 

Environmental Quality Regulations, 12 

CFR part 1815, neither an 

Environmental Assessment nor an 

Environmental Impact Statement is 

required. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

Because this interim rule relates to 

loans and grants, notice and public 

procedure and a delayed effective date 

are not required pursuant to the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553(a)(2).

Amendment to the Regulations 

For the reasons discussed in the 

preamble, the CDFI Fund is amending 

12 CFR chapter XVII, part 1805 as 

follows: 

PART 1805—COMMUNITY 

DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL 

INSTITUTIONS PROGRAM 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 1805 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 12 U.S.C. 4703, 4703 note, 4710, 

4717; and 31 U.S.C. 321. 

■ 2. Section 1805.201(b)(2) is revised to 

read as follows: 

§ 1805.201 Certification as a Community 

Development Financial Institution. 

* * * * * 

(b) * * * 

(2) Financing entity. (i) A CDFI shall 

be an entity whose predominant 

business activity is the provision, in 

arms-length transactions, of Financial 

Products, Development Services, and/or 

other similar financing. An Applicant 

may demonstrate that it is such an 

entity if it is a(n): 

(A) Depository Institution Holding 

Company; 

(B) Insured Depository Institution, 

Insured Credit Union, or State-Insured 

Credit Union; or 

(C) Organization that is deemed by the 

CDFI Fund to have such a predominant 

business activity as a result of analysis 

of its financial statements, organizing 

documents, and any other information 

required to be submitted as part of its 

application. In conducting such 

analysis, the CDFI Fund may take into 

consideration an Applicant’s total assets 

and its use of personnel. 

(ii) For the sole purpose of 

participating as an Eligible CDFI in the 

CDFI Bond Guarantee Program (see 12 

CFR part 1808), an Affiliate of a 

Controlling CDFI may be deemed to 

meet the financing entity requirement of 

this subsection by relying on the CDFI 

Fund’s determination that the 

Controlling CDFI has met said 

requirement; provided, however, that 

the CDFI Fund reserves the right, in its 

sole discretion, to set additional 

parameters and restrictions on such, 

which parameters and restrictions shall 

be set forth in the applicable Notice of 

Guarantee Availability for a CDFI Bond 

Guarantee Program application round. 

(iii) Further, for the sole purpose of 

participating as an Eligible CDFI in the 

CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, the 

provision of Financial Products, 

Development Services, and/or other 

similar financing by an Affiliate of a 

Controlling CDFI need not be armslength if such transaction is by and 

between the Affiliate and the 

Controlling CDFI, pursuant to an 

operating agreement that includes 

management and ownership provisions 

and is in form and substance that is 

acceptable to the CDFI Fund.

[Docket No: NASA–2015–0001] 

RIN 2700–AE02 

Patents and Other Intellectual Property 

Rights 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: NASA has adopted as final, 

without change, a proposed rule 

amending its patent waivers regulations 

to update citations and the patent 

waiver policy, and to clarify and update 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 19197 

the patent waiver procedures, so they 

are more in line with the National 

Aeronautics and Space Act (Space Act), 

the authorizing statute. 

DATES: This rule is effective May 11, 

2015. Comments due on or before April 

27, 2015. If adverse comments are 

received, NASA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the rule in the Federal 

Register. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must be 

identified with RIN 2700–AE02 and 

may be sent to NASA via the Federal ERulemaking Portal: http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Please note that NASA will post all 

comments on the Internet with changes, 

including any personal information 

provided. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Helen M. Galus, Office of the General 

Counsel, NASA Headquarters, 

telephone (202) 358–3437. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

NASA published a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register at 79 FR 60119, on 

October 6, 2014, to amend its patent 

waiver regulations to update citations to 

the United States Code, to clarify the 

requirements and procedures for 

petitioning for a patent waiver so they 

follow more closely the terms of the 

Space Act, and to add grounds for 

denial of a petition for waiver of foreign 

rights. No comments were submitted on 

the proposed rule. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

The NASA Office of the General 

Counsel had no comments to consider. 

NASA has adopted the proposed rule as 

final with one additional section 

update. After the proposed rule was 

published, an outdated citation was 

found in § 1245.108 License to 

contractor. In paragraphs (b) and (c), 14 

CFR 1245.2 was updated to 37 CFR part 

404. Also, ‘‘Government-Owned’’ was 

substituted for ‘‘NASA’’ in paragraph 

(b), and ‘‘in accordance with applicable 

regulations in’’ was substituted for 

‘‘under the Licensing of NASA 

Inventions’’ in order to clarify the 

sentence in paragraph (c). 

A. Summary of Significant Changes 

No changes were made as a result of 

public comments. 

B. Analysis of Public Comments 

No public comments were submitted. 

III. Direct Final Rule 

NASA has determined this 

rulemaking meets the criteria for a 

direct final rule because it involves 

adopting a proposed rule amending its 

patent waivers regulations to update 

citations and the patent waiver policy, 

and to clarify and update the patent 

waiver procedures, so they are more in 

line with the National Aeronautics and 

Space Act (Space Act), the authorizing 

statute. This rule has one additional 

update to correct an outdated citation. 

No opposition to the changes and no 

significant adverse comments are 

expected. However, if NASA receives 

significant adverse comments, it will 

withdraw this direct final rule by 

publishing a notice in the Federal 

Register. A significant adverse comment 

is one that explains: (1) Why the direct 

final rule is inappropriate, including 

challenges to the rule’s underlying 

premise or approach; or (2) why the 

direct final rule will be ineffective or 

unacceptable without a change. In 

determining whether a comment 

necessitates withdrawal of this direct 

final rule, NASA will consider whether 

it warrants a substantive response in a 

notice and comment process. 

IV. Regulatory Analysis Section 

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement 

This rule does not contain an 

information collection requirement 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Executive Order 12866 and Executive 

Order 13563 

Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. This rule 

has not been designated a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

It has been certified that this rule is 

not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601) because it would not, 

if promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The rule sets 

forth policies and procedures for 

submitting and reviewing petitions for 

waiver of the Government’s rights to 

certain inventions made under 

government funded contracts, pursuant 

to section 20135(b)(1) of the National 

Aeronautics and Space Act, 51 U.S.C. 

20135(b)(1). The provisions do not 

apply to inventions made under any 

contract, grant, or cooperative 

agreement with a nonprofit organization 

or small business firm that are afforded 

the disposition of rights as provided in 

35 U.S.C. 200–204 (Pub. L. 96–517, 94 

Stat. 3019, 3020, 3022 and 3023; and 

Pub. L. 98–620, 98 Stat. 3364–3367). 

Therefore, the rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 1245 

Inventions, Patents and waivers. 

Accordingly, 14 CFR part 1245 is 

amended as follows: 

PART 1245—PATENTS AND OTHER 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS 

Subpart 1—Patent and Waiver 

Regulations 

■ 1. The authority citation for Part 1245, 

Subpart 1, is revised to read as follows: 

Authority: 51 U.S.C. 20135, 35 U.S.C. 200 

et seq. 

■ 2. Section 1245.100 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1245.100 Scope. 

This subpart prescribes regulations for 

the waiver of rights of the Government 

of the United States to inventions made 

under NASA contract in conformity 

with section 20135 of the National 

Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. 

Chapter 201). 

■ 3. Section 1245.101 is revised to read 

as follows: 

§ 1245.101 Applicability. 

The provisions of the subpart apply to 

all inventions made or which may be 

made under conditions enabling the 

Administrator to determine that the 

rights therein reside in the Government 

of the United States under section 

20135(b)(1) of the National Aeronautics 

and Space Act, 51 U.S.C. 20135(b)(1). 

The provisions do not apply to 

inventions made under any contract, 

grant, or cooperative agreement with a 

nonprofit organization or small business 

firm that are afforded the disposition of 

rights as provided in 35 U.S.C. 200–204 

(Pub. L. 96–517, 94 Stat. 3019, 3020, 

3022 and 3023; and Pub. L. 98–620, 98 

Stat. 3364–3367). 

■ 4. Section 1245.102 is amended by 

revising paragraph (c), redesignating 

paragraphs (d) through (j) as paragraphs 

(e) through (k), and adding new 

paragraph (d) to read as follows: 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
19198 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

§ 1245.102 Definitions and terms. 

* * * * * 

(c) Invention means any, new and 

useful process, machine, manufacture, 

or composition of matter, or any new 

and useful improvement thereof, or any 

variety of plant, which is or may be 

patentable under the Patent Laws of the 

United States of America or any foreign 

country. 

(d) Class of inventions means 

inventions directed to a particular 

process, machine, manufacture, or 

composition of matter, or to a narrowly 

drawn, focused area of technology. 

* * * * * 

■ 5. Section 1245.103 is amended by 

revising paragraphs (a) and (b) to read 

as follows: 

§ 1245.103 Policy. 

(a) In implementing the provisions of 

section 20135(g) of the National 

Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. 

Chapter 201), and in determining when 

the interests of the United States would 

be served by waiver of all or any part 

of the rights of the United States in an 

invention or class of inventions made in 

the performance of work under NASA 

contracts, the Administrator will be 

guided by the objectives set forth in the 

National Aeronautics and Space Act, by 

the basic policy of the Presidential 

Memorandum and Statement of 

Government Patent Policy to the Heads 

of the Executive Departments and 

agencies dated February 18, 1983, by the 

goals and objectives of its current 

Authorization Act, Strategic Plan, and 

other pertinent National policies or 

laws, such as the National Space Policy 

of the United States of America. Any 

such waiver may be made upon such 

terms and under such conditions as the 

Administrator shall determine to be 

required for the protection of the 

interests of the United States. Among 

the most important goals are to provide 

incentives to foster inventiveness and 

encourage the reporting of inventions 

made under NASA contracts, to provide 

for the widest practicable dissemination 

of new technology resulting from NASA 

programs, and to promote early 

utilization, expeditious development, 

and continued availability of this new 

technology for commercial purposes 

and the public benefit. In applying this 

regulation, both the need for incentives 

to draw forth private initiatives and the 

need to promote healthy competition in 

industry must be weighed. 

(b) Several different situations arise 

when waiver of all or any part of the 

rights of the United States with respect 

to an invention or class of invention 

may be requested and are prescribed in 

§§ 1245.104 through 1245.106. Under 

§ 1245.104, advance waiver of any or all 

of the rights of the United States with 

respect to any invention or class of 

inventions which may be made under a 

contract may be requested prior to the 

execution of the contract, or within 30 

days after execution of the contract. 

Waiver of rights to an identified 

invention made and reported under a 

contract are to be requested under 

§ 1245.105, and may be requested under 

this provision even though a request 

under § 1245.104 was not made, or if 

made, was not granted. Waiver of 

foreign rights under § 1245.106 may be 

requested concurrently with domestic 

rights under § 1245.104 or § 1245.105, or 

may be made independently. 

* * * * * 

■ 6. Section 1245.104 is amended by: 

■ a. Revising paragraphs (a), (b) 

introductory text, (b)(2), (b)(3) 

introductory text, (b)(3)(v), (c), and (d); 

■ b. Removing paragraph (e); and 

■ c. Redesignating paragraph (f) as 

paragraph (e). 

The revisions read as follows: 

§ 1245.104 Advance waivers. 

(a) The provisions of this section 

apply to petitions for waiver of domestic 

rights of the United States with respect 

to any invention or class of inventions 

which may be made under a contract. 

(b) The NASA Inventions and 

Contributions Board normally will 

recommend grant of a request for 

advance waiver of domestic rights 

submitted prior to execution of contract 

or within 30 days after execution of the 

contract unless the Board finds that the 

interests of the United States will be 

better served by restricting or denying 

all or part of the requested rights in one 

or more of the following situations: 

* * * * * 

(2) When a determination has been 

made by Government authority which is 

authorized by statute or Executive order 

to conduct foreign intelligence or 

counter-intelligence activities that the 

restriction or denial of the requested 

rights to any inventions made in the 

performance of work under the contract 

is necessary to protect the security of 

such activities; or 

(3) Where the Board finds that 

exceptional circumstances exist, such 

that restriction or denial of the 

requested rights will better promote one 

or more of the following objectives: 

* * * * * 

(v) Ensuring that the Government 

retains sufficient rights in federally 

supported inventions to meet the needs 

of the Government and protect the 

public against nonuse or unreasonable 

use of inventions. 

(c)(1) An advance waiver, when 

granted, will be subject to the 

reservations set forth in § 1245.107. 

Normally, the reservations of 

§ 1245.107(a), License to the 

Government, and § 1245.107(b), Marchin rights, will apply. However, should 

one or more of the situations set forth 

in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3), of 

this section exist, rather than denying 

the advance waiver request, the Board 

may recommend granting to the 

contractor only part of the requested 

rights, to the extent necessary to address 

the particular situation, consistent with 

the policy and goals of § 1245.103. In 

that event, the waiver grant will be 

subject to additional reservations as 

provided for in § 1245.107(c). 

(2) To meet the National Aeronautics 

and Space Act standard of ‘‘any 

invention or class of inventions,’’ for 

advance waivers, the petition shall 

identify the invention(s) and/or class(es) 

of inventions that the Contractor 

believes will be made under the contract 

and for which waiver of rights is being 

requested. Therefore, the petition must 

be directed to a specific invention(s) or 

to inventions directed to a particular 

process, machine, manufacture, or 

composition of matter, or to a narrowly 

drawn, focused area(s) of technology. 

(3) An advance waiver, when granted, 

will apply only to inventions reported 

to NASA under the applicable terms of 

the contract and a designation made 

within 6 months of the time of reporting 

(or a reasonable time thereafter 

permitted for good cause shown) that 

the contractor elects title to the 

invention and intends to file or has filed 

a U.S. patent application. Such election 

will be made by notification in writing 

to the patent representative designated 

in the contract. Title to all other 

inventions made under the contract are 

subject to section 20135(b)(1) of the 

National Aeronautics and Space Act, 51 

U.S.C. 20135(b)(1). The granting of the 

advance waiver does not otherwise 

relieve a contractor of any of the 

invention identification or reporting 

requirements set forth in the applicable 

patent rights clause in the contract. 

(4) The advance waiver shall extend 

to the invention claimed in any patent 

application filed on the reported 

invention, including any subsequent 

divisional or continuation application 

thereof, provided the claims of the 

subsequent application do not 

substantially change the scope of the 

reported invention. 

(d) When a petition for waiver is 

submitted under paragraph (b) of this 

section, prior to contract execution, it 

will be processed expeditiously so that 

a decision on the petition may be 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 69 / Friday, April 10, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 19199 

reached prior to execution of the 

contract. However, if there is 

insufficient time or insufficient 

information is presented, or for other 

reasons which do not permit a 

recommendation to be made without 

unduly delaying execution of the 

contract, the Board will inform the 

contracting officer that no 

recommendation can be made prior to 

contract execution and the reasons 

therefor. The contracting officer will 

then notify the petitioner of the Board’s 

action. 

* * * * * 

■ 7. Section 1245.106 is amended by 

revising paragraphs (c) and (d) to read 

as follows: 

* * * * * 

§ 1245.106 Waiver of foreign rights. 

* * * * * 

(c) The Board will normally 

recommend the waiver of foreign rights 

be granted under paragraph (a) or 

paragraph (b) of this section in any 

designated country unless: 

(1) The Board finds that exceptional 

circumstances exist, such that 

restriction or denial of the requested 

foreign rights will better promote one or 

more of the objectives set forth in 

§ 1245.104(b)(3)(i) through (v); or 

(2) The Board finds that the economic 

interests of the United States will not be 

served thereby; or unless 

(3) In the case of an individual 

identified invention under paragraph (b) 

of this section, NASA has determined, 

prior to the request, to file a patent 

application in the designated country. 

(d) If, subsequent to the granting of 

the petition for foreign rights, the 

petitioner requests and designates 

additional countries in which it wishes 

to secure patents, the Chairperson may 

recommend such request, in whole or in 

part, without further action by the 

Board. 

■ 8. Section 1245.107 is amended by 

revising the introductory text of 

paragraph (b) to read as follows: 

§ 1245.107 Reservations. 

* * * * * 

(b) March-in rights. For any invention 

for which waiver of rights has been 

granted under this subpart, NASA has 

the same right as set forth in 35 U.S.C. 

203 and 210, with the procedures set 

forth in § 1245.117 and 37 CFR 401.6, to 

require the contractor, an assignee, or 

exclusive licensee of the invention to 

grant a nonexclusive, partially 

exclusive, or exclusive license in any 

field of use to a responsible applicant or 

applicants, upon terms that are 

reasonable under the circumstances, 

and if the contractor, assignee, or 

exclusive licensee refuses such a 

request, NASA has the right to grant 

such a license itself if NASA determines 

that: 

* * * * * 

■ 9. Section 1245.108 is amended by 

revising the first sentence of paragraph 

(b) and the last sentence of paragraph 

(c). 

§ 1245.108 License to contractor. 

* * * * * 

(b) The contractor’s domestic license 

may be revoked or modified by the 

Administrator to the extent necessary to 

achieve expeditious practical 

application of the invention pursuant to 

an application for an exclusive license 

submitted in accordance with the 

Licensing of Government-Owned 

Inventions (37 CFR part 404). * * * 

(c) * * * The contractor shall have 

the right to appeal, in accordance with 

applicable regulations in 37 CFR part 

404, any decision concerning the 

revocation or modification of its license. 

■ 10. Section 1245.110 is amended by 

redesignating paragraphs (b) and (c) as 

paragraphs (c) and (d), and by adding 

new paragraph (b) to read as follows: 

§ 1245.110 Content of petitions. 

* * * * * 

(b) Advance waiver petitions shall 

also identify the invention(s) and/or 

class(es) of inventions that the 

Contractor believes will be made under 

the contract and for which waiver of 

rights is being requested, in accordance 

with § 1245.104(c)(2). 

* * * * * 

■ 11. Section 1245.112 is amended by 

revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 1245.112 Notice of proposed Board 

action and reconsideration. 

(a) Notice. Except as provided by 

§ 1245.104(d), the Board will notify the 

petitioner, through the contracting 

officer, with respect to petitions for 

advance waiver prior to contract 

execution, and directly to the petitioner 

for all other petitions: 

(1) When it proposes to recommend to 

the Administrator that the petition be: 

(i) Granted in an extent different from 

that requested; or 

(ii) Denied. 

(2) Of the reasons for the 

recommended action adverse to or 

different from the waiver of rights 

requested by the petitioner. 

* * * * * 

■ 12. Section 1245.116 is amended by 

revising paragraph (b) to read as follows: 

§ 1245.116 Miscellaneous provisions. 

* * * * * 

(b) Statement of Government rights. 

The waiver recipient shall include, 

within the specification of any United 

States patent application and any patent 

issuing thereon for a waived invention, 

the following statement: 

The invention described herein was 

made in the performance of work under 

NASA Contract No. lll, and is subject to 

the provisions of Section 20135 of the 

National Aeronautics and Space Act (51 

U.S.C. Chapter 201). 

* * * * * 

■ 13. Section 1245.117 is amended by 

revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 1245.117 March-in and waiver revocation
