NIAID’s sole judgment, the ability to 

develop a viable vaccine. Potential 

collaborators considered equally 

competitive in terms of capacity will 

also be evaluated based on their plans 

and intent to distribute in areas with 

immediate need, followed by the 

likelihood of the proposed plan 

contributing to the achievement of a 

self-sustaining vaccine ecosystem in 

developing nations. 

This material is available for access 

for commercial development in 

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 

CFR part 404, as well as for further 

development and evaluation under a 

research collaboration agreement. 

Potential Commercial Applications: 

• Prophylaxis against mpox in normal 

or high-risk populations 

• Vaccine research 

Competitive Advantages: 

• MVA clone-1 material is believed to 

be functionally and genetically 

similar to FDA-approved vaccine 

material 

• Identification of vaccine candidates 

that can elicit protective antibodies 

against mpox in normal or high-risk 

populations 

• Royalty-free access for vaccine 

development and/or research 

Development Stage: 

• Pre-clinical

Abstract: The General Mining Law (30 

U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39) authorizes a 

holder of an unpatented claim for 

hardrock minerals to apply for fee title 

(patent) to the federal land (as well as 

minerals) embraced in the claim. 

Division E, Title I of the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118– 

42), the annual appropriation bill for the 

Department of the Interior, prevents the 

BLM from processing mineral patent 

applications unless the applications 

were grandfathered under the initial 

legislation. While grandfathered 

applications are rare at present, the 

approval to collect the information 

continues to be necessary because of the 

possibility that the moratorium will be 

lifted and applicable regulations that 

contain the information are still part of 

the Code of Federal Regulations. OMB 

control number 1004–0025 is scheduled 

to expire on July 31, 2025. This request 

is for OMB to renew this OMB control 

number for an additional three (3) years. 

Title of Collection: Mineral Surveys, 

Mineral Patent Applications, Adverse 

Claims, Protests, and Contests (43 CFR 

parts 3860 and 3870). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0025. 

Form Numbers: 3860–2 and 3860–5. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Owners 

of unpatented mining claims and mill 

sites upon the public lands, and of 

reserved mineral lands of the United 

States, National Forests, and National 

Parks. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 1. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 1–100 hours, 

depending on activity. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 559. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Non-hour 

Burden Cost: $259,035.
