limited to:

1. Day care or before and after school

child care.

2. Computer learning centers.

3. Homeownership and budget

counseling.

4. Parenting programs for young

parents (such as family support centers),

A tenant services plan must be

submitted with the application to

receive points under this criteria. Points

may be awarded based on the extent to

which the plan is comprehensive, well

defined, feasible, appropriate for the

proposed tenant population, innovative,

and involves a unique collaboration,

partnership, ownership or management

structure. Projects that include on-site

services must be designed to include the

necessary physical space for the

services. Letters or agreements

documenting a service provider’s

involvement with the project should be

submitted. Five points will be awarded

for each resident service included in the

tenant services plan up to a maximum

of 25 points.

C. High Unemployment (Up to 10

Points)

Points will be awarded to projects

which are located in counties, boroughs,

or census areas that are characterized by

high unemployment levels. Evidence of

unemployment rates must be included

in the application to receive points

under this criterion. All rates must be

the 2000 annual average as reported by

the state agency responsible for

recording and reporting unemployment

rates in the proposed state. Points will

be awarded as follows:

Unemployment rate Points

≥10% ................................................. 10

≥6%<10% ......................................... 5

V. Review Process

All proposals will be received,

evaluated, and accepted or rejected by a

RHS grant committee. The grant

committee will consist of three RHS

National Office staff and two RHS staff

from the state where the project is

located.

The grant committee will inform

applicants of proposal acceptance for

further processing or rejection within 30

days of the closing date of the RFP.

If the proposal is accepted for further

processing, the applicant will be

expected to submit additional

information prior to grant obligation. In

addition, RHS must complete the

appropriate level of environmental

review prior to grant obligation. The

applicant is expected to assist RHS, as

necessary, in the development of this

environmental review.

Prior to grant obligation, the grant

recipient shall enter into a grant

agreement with the RHS which shall

outline the roles and responsibilities of

both parties. A sample grant agreement

will be made available to the grant

recipient prior to grant obligation.

VI. RHS Monitoring

During construction, RHS will take

part in periodic progress meetings at the

project site and shall inspect completed

work. RHS approval of work completed

must be given before grant funds can be

disbursed for that work.

RHS monitoring shall continue

throughout the useful life of the project

or until the grant is terminated under

provisions established in 7 CFR parts

3015, 3016, and 3019. Monitoring shall

consist of initial and annual tenant

certifications, civil rights compliance

reviews, tri-annual physical inspections,

annual proposed and actual operating

budgets, and annual audits. If other

funding sources involved in the project

require reporting, those formats may be

used in place of RHS methods as long

as those formats meet RHS

requirements.

Tenants and grantees must execute an

Agency-approved tenant certification

form establishing the tenant’s eligibility

prior to occupancy. In addition, tenant

households must be recertified and

must execute a tenant certification form

at least annually.

Grantees will submit to a tri-annual

(once every three years) physical

inspection of the project. RHS will

inspect for health and safety issues,

deferred maintenance, and other

physical problems that can endanger the

provision of decent, affordable housing

to the target population on a long-term

basis.

Annual proposed and actual operating

and maintenance budgets will be

required to insure that all project needs

are being met and all RHS guidelines are

being followed. The form of operating

and maintenance budgets will be

designated by RHS.

The grantee must submit to RHS

annual audits of the project finances in

accordance with the requirements

established by OMB, in accordance with

Departmental requirements in 7 CFR

part 3052.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Patent and Trademark Office

Grant of Certificate of Interim

Extension of the Term of U.S. Patent

No. 4,229,449: Roboxetine Mesylate

AGENCY: United States Patent and

Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Interim Patent Term

Extension.

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and

Trademark Office has issued a

certificate under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for

a third one-year interim extension of the

term of U.S. Patent No. 4,229,449.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Karin Tyson by telephone at (703) 306–

3159; by mail marked to her attention

and addressed to the Assistant

Commissioner for Patents, Box Patent

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

156 of Title 35, United States Code,

generally provides that the term of a

patent may be extended for a period of

up to 5 years if the patent claims a

product, or a method of making or using

a product, that has been subject to

certain defined regulatory review, and

that the patent may be extended for

interim periods of up to a year if the

9824 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 29 / Monday, February 12, 2001 / Notices

regulatory review is anticipated to

extend beyond the expiration date of the

patent.

On November 17, 2000, patent owner

Pharmacia & Upjohn, S.p.A., filed an

application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)

for a third interim extension of the term

of U.S. Patent No. 4,229,449. The patent

claims the active ingredient roboxetine

mesylate (VestraTM). The application

indicates a New Drug Application for

the human drug product roboxetine

mesylate (VestraTM) has been filed and

is currently undergoing regulatory

review before the Food and Drug

Administration for permission to market

or use the product commercially. The

original term of the patent expired on

January 8, 1999, and has been

previously extended under 35 U.S.C.

156(d)(5) to January 9, 2001.

Review of the application indicates

that except for permission to market or

use the product commercially, the

subject patent would be eligible for an

extension of the patent term under 35

U.S.C. 156. Since it is apparent that the

regulatory review period will extend

beyond the extended expiration date of

the patent, the term of the patent is

extended under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for

a term of one year from January 9, 2001.

Dated: January 19, 2001.
