to Vivione Biosciences, LLC, a company
incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware having its headquarters in
Jonesboro, Arkansas. The United States
of America is the assignee of the rights
in the above inventions. The
contemplated exclusive license may be
granted in a field of use limited to
devices for detecting volatile
compounds indicative of food spoilage.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
applications for a license received by
the NIH Office of Technology Transfer
on or before March 29, 2013 will be
considered.
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., CLP,
Office of Technology Transfer, National
Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive
Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD
20852–3804; Telephone: (301) 435–
5019; Facsimile: (301) 402–0220; Email:
[email protected]. A signed
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 patent
applications (including any patents
issuing therefrom or claiming priority
thereto) intended for licensure describe
and claim indicator strips for
monitoring food quality and freshness
in real time. The major factor for food
spoilage is the release of volatile gases
due to the action of enzymes contained
within the food or produced by
microorganisms growing in the food.
The rate of release of such gases
depends on food’s storage history. In
this technology, a reactive dye locked in
a water-repellent material reacts with
the gases released during food
decomposition, and changes color. Thus
a rapid and informed decision can be
made about quality of food and its shelf
life under the storage conditions used.
Since the detection is based on
biological processes that are the root

cause for food spoilage, these indicators
are much more reliable. This technology
provides an alternative to the current
methods for assessing food quality that
cannot accurately estimate shelf life of
food products due to unreliable storage
history. These indicators have been
successfully tested on seafood and
meats and can be easily adapted to dairy
products.
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 thirty (30) 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

Properly filed competing applications
for a license filed in response to this

the contemplated license. Comments

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Technical Resource for Incident
Prevention (TRIPwire) is OBP’s online,
collaborative, information-sharing
network for bomb squad, law
enforcement, and other emergency
services personnel to learn about
current terrorist improvised explosive
device (IED) tactics, techniques, and
procedures, including design and
emplacement considerations. TRIPwire
was established as an IED informationsharing resource under Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 19
(HSPD–19), which calls for a unified
national policy for the prevention and
detection of, protection against, and
response to terrorist use of explosives in
the United States. Users from Federal,
state, local, and tribal government
entities, as well as business and forprofit industries can register through the
TRIPwire Secure Portal. The TRIPwire
portal contains sensitive information
related to terrorist use of explosives and
therefore user information is needed to
verify eligibility and access to the
system. TRIPwire applicants must
provide their full name, assignment,
citizenship, job title, employer name,
professional address and contact
information, as well as an Employment
Verification Contact and their contact
information. The system does not store
sensitive personally identifiable
information (PII) such as social security
numbers. The collection of PII by
TRIPwire to establish user accounts
occurs in accordance with the DHS
Privacy Impact Assessment PIA–015,
‘‘DHS Web Portals,’’ DHS/ALL–004—
General Information Technology Access
Account Records System (GITAARS)
September 29, 2009, 74 FR 49882, and
DHS/ALL–002—Department of
Homeland Security Mailing and Other
Lists System November 25, 2008, 73 FR
71659. The TRIPwire User Registration
is a voluntary registration designed to
measure users’ suitability to access the
secure environment.

The information collected during the
TRIPwire user registration process is
reviewed electronically by the project
team to vet the user’s ‘‘need to know,’’
which determines their eligibility for
and access to TRIPwire. Memberships
are re-verified annually based on the
information users provide upon
registration or communication with the
TRIPwire help desk analysts. The
information collected is for internal
TRIPwire and OBP use only.
