to Resonance Research, Inc., a company 

incorporated under the laws of the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts 

having its headquarters in Billerica, 

Massachusetts. The United States of 

America is the assignee of the rights of 

the above inventions. The contemplated 

exclusive license may be granted in a 

field of use limited to electron 

paramagnetic resonance devices and 

systems for oximetry. 

DATES: Only written comments and/or 

applications for a license received by 

the NIH Office of Technology Transfer 

on or before November 15, 2011 will be 

considered. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the 

patent application, inquiries, comments 

and other materials relating to the 

contemplated license should be directed 

to: Michael A. Shmilovich, Esq., Office 

of Technology Transfer, National 

Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive 

Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD

confidentiality nondisclosure agreement 

will be required to receive copies of any 

patent applications that have not been 

published by the United States Patent 

and Trademark Office or the World 

Intellectual Property Organization. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

patents and patent applications 

intended for licensure disclose or cover 

devices and systems for in vivo 

quantitative oximetry using low 

frequency time-domain EPR imaging in 

the frequency range of 250–300 MHz. 

The systems developed use a timedomain spectroscopic EPR imaging 

approach that is a unique combination 

of: (1) multi-gradient Single Point 

Imaging involving global phase 

encoding and (2) conventional 90°-t180° Spin-Echo pulse sequence wellknown in MRI where the images are 

obtained by the filtered back-projection 

after FT of the echoes collected under 

frequency-encoding gradients. The 

combination approach of single point 

imaging with the spin-echo signal 

detection procedure to take advantage of 

T2 (and not T2*) dependent contrast and 

the enhanced spatial resolution 

associated with the constant-time pure 

phase-encoding approach. This 

approach has become feasible because 

of the availability of non-toxic watersoluble trityl and deuterated trityl based 

spin probes which have reasonable T1

and T2 in the range 5–10 ms. 

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 fifteen (15) 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: 30 CFR 250, Subpart H, Oil and 

Gas Production Safety Systems. 

Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 

1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 

authorizes the Secretary to prescribe 

rules and regulations necessary for the 

administration of the leasing provisions 

of that Act related to mineral resources 

on the OCS. Such rules and regulations 

will apply to all operations conducted 

under a lease, pipeline right-of-way, or 

a right-of-use and easement. Section 

1332(6) states that ‘‘operations in the 

[O]uter Continental Shelf should be 

conducted in a safe manner by well 

trained personnel using technology, 

precautions, and other techniques 

sufficient to prevent or minimize the 

likelihood of blowouts, loss of well 

control, fires, spillages, physical 

obstructions to other users of the waters 

or subsoil and seabed, or other 

occurrences which may cause damage to 

the environment or to property or 

endanger life or health.’’ 

The Independent Offices 

Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the 

Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L. 

104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26, 

1996), and Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize 

Federal agencies to recover the full cost 

of services that confer special benefits. 

Facility Production Safety System 

Applications are subject to cost recovery 

and BSEE regulations specify filing fees 

for these applications. 

This submittal also removes an IC 

requirement that was inadvertently 

included in this collection. The 

requirement pertains to the Pacific 

Region’s Emergency Action Plans that 

are submitted to local air quality 

agencies, which is included in the IC for 

30 CFR 550, subpart C (§ 550.304). 

Regulations implementing these 

responsibilities are under 30 CFR 250, 

subpart H. Responses are mandatory. No 

questions of a sensitive nature are 

asked. BSEE protects information 

considered proprietary according to the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR 2), 30 CFR part 252, OCS Oil 

and Gas Information Program, and 30 

CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to 

be made available to the public or for 

limited inspection.’’ 

BSEE uses the information collected 

under subpart H to evaluate equipment 

and/or procedures that lessees and 

operators propose to use during 

production operations, including 

evaluation of requests for departures or 

use of alternate procedures or 

equipment. Information is also used to 

verify that production operations are 

safe and protect the human, marine, and 

coastal environment. BSEE inspectors 

review the records required by this 

subpart to verify compliance with 

testing and minimum safety 

requirements. 

The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region 

(GOMR) has a policy regarding approval 

of requests to use a chemical-only fire 

prevention and control system in lieu of 

a water system. BSEE may require 

additional information be submitted to 

maintain approval. The information is 

used to determine if the chemical-only 

system provides the equivalent 

protection of a water system for the 

egress of personnel should a fire occur. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Description of Respondents: Potential 

respondents comprise Federal oil, gas, 

or sulphur lessees, operators, and 

holders of pipeline rights-of-way. 

Estimated Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Hour Burden: The 

estimated annual hour burden for this 

information collection is a total of 

62,963 hours. The following chart 

details the individual components and 

estimated hour burdens. In calculating 

the burdens, we assumed that 

respondents perform certain 

requirements in the normal course of 

their activities. We consider these to be 

usual and customary and took that into 

account in estimating the burden.

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Amendment to the Cascade-Siskiyou 

National Monument Resource 

Management Plan, Oregon, and 

Associated Environmental 

Assessment 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA), and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

Medford District Office, Ashland 

Resource Area, Medford, Oregon, 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) which will amend the 

2008 Cascade-Siskiyou National 

Monument Resource Management Plan 

(CSNM RMP), and by this notice is 

announcing the beginning of the 

scoping process to solicit public 

comments and identify issues. 

DATES: This notice initiates the public 

scoping process for the RMP 

Amendment with associated EA. 

Comments on issues may be submitted 

in writing until November 30, 2011. The 

date(s) and location(s) of any scoping 

meeting(s) will be announced at least 15 

days in advance through the local news 

media, mailings to interested 

individuals, and on the BLM Medford 

Web site at: http://www.blm.gov/or/ 

districts/medford/index.php. In order to 

be included in the EA, all comments 

must be received prior to the close of 

the 30-day scoping period or 15 days 

after the last public meeting, whichever 

is later. The BLM will provide 

additional opportunities for public 

participation upon publication of the 

EA. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on issues and planning criteria related 

to the CSNM RMP Amendment and 

associated EA by any of the following 

methods: 

• Email: kminor@blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides notice that the BLM 

Medford District Office, Ashland 

Resource Area, Medford, Oregon, 

intends to prepare an RMP amendment 

with an associated EA for the CascadeSiskiyou National Monument, 

announces the beginning of the scoping 

process, and seeks public input on 

issues and planning criteria. The 

planning area is located in Jackson 

County, Oregon and encompasses 

approximately 55,930 acres of public 

lands. The purpose of the public 

scoping process is to determine relevant 

issues that will influence the scope of 

the environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the planning 

process. 

This RMP amendment and associated 

EA will modify land tenure adjustment 

decisions in the CSNM RMP to allow for 

land exchanges that ‘‘furthers the 

protective purposes of the monument,’’ 

where the public land involved is 

located within the CSNM. Currently, the 

CSNM RMP allows for exchanges only 

where the public land involved is 

located outside the CSNM. This 

amendment would be consistent with 

the Presidential Proclamation 7318, 

dated June 9, 2000, which states, ‘‘All 

Federal lands within the boundaries of 

this monument are hereby appropriated 

and withdrawn from all forms of entry, 

location, selection, sale, or leasing or 

other disposition under the public land 

laws, including but not limited to 

withdrawal from location, entry, and 

patent under the mining laws, and from 

disposition under all laws relating to 

mineral and geothermal leasing, other 

than by exchange that furthers the 

protective purposes of the monument 

[emphasis added].’’ 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to determine relevant issues 

that will influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the plan 

amendment process. The Medford BLM 

seeks public input on issues and 

planning criteria. Federal, State, and 

local agencies, along with other 

stakeholders that may be interested or 

affected by the BLM’s decision on this 

project are invited to participate in the 

scoping process and, if eligible, may 

request or be requested by the BLM to 

participate as a cooperating agency. 

BLM personnel identified one 

preliminary planning issue for the 

planning area. The preliminary 

planning issue is that the CSNM RMP is 

inconsistent with Presidential 

Proclamation 7318, dated June 9, 2000. 

The Proclamation provides for 

exchanges that further the protective 

purposes of the monument. The CSNM 

RMP precluded exchanges where the 

Federal land is located within the 

monument, thus making it inconsistent 

with the Proclamation. Preliminary 

planning criteria include: 

1. The plan amendment will be 

consistent with Presidential 

Proclamation 7318; 

2. Lands addressed in the RMP will be 

public lands (including split estate
