[Notice 05–146] 

Notice of Prospective Patent License 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of prospective patent 

license. 

SUMMARY: This notice is issued in 

accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 

37 CFR 404.7(a)(1)(i). NASA is 

contemplating the granting of an 

exclusive license in the United States to 

practice the inventions described and 

claimed in U.S. Patents 4,815,279, 

‘‘Hybrid Plume Plasma Rocket,’’

4,893,470, ‘‘Method of Hybrid Plume 

Plasma Propulsion,’’ and 6,334,302, 

‘‘Variable Specific Impulse 

Magnetoplasma Rocket Engine,’’ to Ad 

Astra Technologies, Inc., having a place 

of business in Houston, TX and 

incorporated in the state of Delaware. 

The fields of use may be limited to 

exoatmospheric applications. The 

patent rights in the inventions have 

been assigned to the United States of 

America as represented by the 

Administrator of the National 

Aeronautics and Space Administration. 

The prospective exclusive license will 

comply with the terms and conditions 

of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. 

DATES: The prospective partially 

exclusive license may be granted within 

fifteen (15) days from the date of this 

published notice, unless NASA receives 

written evidence and argument that 

establish that the grant of the license 

would not be consistent with the 

requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 

CFR 404.7. Competing applications 

completed and received by NASA 

within fifteen (15) days of the date of 

this published notice will be treated as 

objections to the grant of the 

contemplated partially exclusive 

license. 

NASA’s practice is to make 

comments, including names and home 

addresses of respondents, available for 

public review. Individual respondents 

may request that we withhold their 

home address from public disclosure, 

which we will honor to the extent 

allowable by law. There may be 

circumstances in which we would 

withhold a respondent’s identity from 

public disclosure, as allowable by law. 

If you wish us to withhold your name 

and/or address, you may state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comment. We will make all submissions 

from organizations or businesses, and 

from individuals identifying themselves 

as representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public disclosure in their entirety. 

ADDRESSES: Inquires, comments, 

objections, and other material relating to 

the contemplated license may be 

submitted to Patent Counsel, Office of

Comments received after that date will 

be considered to the extent practicable. 

For Additional Information or

instructions from Ms. Plimpton. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: eRecruit. 

OMB Number: 3145–0184. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2006. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend a current 

information collection for three years. 

Abstract: National Science 

Foundation (NSF), Division of Human 

Resources Management (HRM), as part 

of its Workforce Planning efforts, is 

continuing to reengineer its business 

processes. Part of this reengineering 

effort is devoted to making the 

application and referral process for both 

internal and external applicants easier 

to use, more efficient and timely. 

Applicants apply on-line using a webbased resume, which prompts them to 

provide pertinent personal data 

necessary to apply for a position. 

Use of the Information: The 

information is used by NSF to provide 

applicants with the ability to apply 

electronically for NSF positions and 

receive notification as to their 

qualifications, application dispensation 

and to request to be notified of future 

vacancies for which they may qualify. 

In order to apply for vacancies, 

applicants are encouraged to submit 

certain data in order to receive 

consideration. Users only need access to 

the Internet for this system to work. 

This information is used to determine 

which applicants are best qualified for 

a position, based on applicant responses 

to a series of job related ‘‘yes/no’’ or 

‘‘multiple choice’’ questions. The 

resume portion requires applicants to 

provide the same information they 

would provide were they submitting a 

paper OF–612. The obvious benefit 

being that the applicant may do so online, 24 hours a day/seven days a week 

and receive electronic notification about 

the status of their application or 

information on other vacancies for 

which they may qualify. Staff members 

of the Division of Human Resource 

Management and the selecting official(s) 

for specific positions for which 

applicants apply are only ones privy to 

the applicant data. The most significant 

data is not the applicant personal data 

such as address or phone number but 

rather their description of their work 

experience and their corresponding 

responses to those questions, which 

determine their overall rating, ranking, 

and referral to the selecting official. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 45 minutes to 

create the on line resume and 

potentially less than 45 minutes to 

apply for jobs on-line. 

There is no financial burden on the 

applicant, in fact this relieves much of 

the burden the former paper-intensive 

process puts on applicants. 

Respondents: Individuals. 7,070 

applicants applied for NSF vacancies 

between October 2004 and September 

2005. 

Average Number of Applicants: 

Approximately 63 responses per job 

opening for vacancy announcements 

between October 2004 and September 

2005. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: Approximately 45 

minutes per respondent total time is all 

that is needed to complete the on-line 

application, for a total of 5,303 hours 

annually. 

Frequency of Responses: Applicants 

need only complete the resume one 

time, and they may use that resume to 

apply as often as they wish for any NSF 

job opening. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
