Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 80 / Monday, April 27, 1998 / Notices 20643

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

present technology is a novel imaging

device and methodology which

integrates both light microscopy and

spectroscopy. This invention allows for

the cost-effective development of highresolution spatial, chemical, and

spectral images. It provides a rapid

means for examining and collecting

large format images from vibrational and

visible spectra in a three-dimensional

sample. It is superior to current

equipment because it has no moving

parts. This device may be used as a tool

for the characterization of polymers,

semiconductors, contamination studies,

analysis of diffusion and failure

mechanisms, and has potential as a

diagnostic tool of clinical analysis of

histologic materials.

The prospective exclusive license

may be granted unless, within 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. Properly filed

competing applications for a license

filed in response to this notice will be

treated as objections to 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.

Conveyance of Mineral Interests in

California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of segregation.

SUMMARY: The private land described in

this notice, aggregating 5.00 acres, is

segregated and made unavailable for

filings under the general mining laws

and the mineral leasing laws to

determine its suitability for conveyance

of the reserved mineral interest

pursuant to section 209 of the Federal

Land Policy and Management Act of

October 21, 1976. The mineral interests

will be conveyed in whole or in part

upon favorable mineral examination.

The purpose is to allow consolidation of

surface and subsurface of minerals

ownership where there are no known

mineral values or in those instances

where the reservation interferes with or

precludes appropriate nonmineral

development and such development is a

more beneficial use of the land than the

mineral development.
