1. United States Provisional Patent
Application No. 63/295,762 filed
December 31, 2021, entitled ‘‘T Cell
Therapy with Vaccination as a
Combination Immunotherapy Against
Cancer’’ [HHS Reference No. E–046–
2022–0–US–01]; and
2. International Patent Application
No. PCT/US2022/082579 filed
December 29, 2022, entitled ‘‘T Cell
Therapy with Vaccination as a
Combination Immunotherapy Against
Cancer’’ [HHS Reference No. E–046–
2022–0–PCT–02].
The patent rights in these inventions
have been assigned and/or exclusively
licensed to the government of the
United States of America.
The prospective exclusive license
territory may be worldwide, and the
field of use may be limited to the
following:

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

‘‘Development, manufacture, and
commercialization of combination
immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer
in humans, comprising at least the following
elements:
1. An autologous T cell product, where the
T cells are tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
(TIL) or chimeric antigen receptor-expressing
T cells (CAR–T); and
2. A neoantigen cancer vaccine.’’

The E–046–2022 patent family is
primarily directed to a combination
immunotherapy comprising a
population of antigen-specific immune
cells (e.g., T cells) and a vaccine
targeting the same antigen(s). In
oncology, many investigational adoptive
cell therapies rely on antigen-specific T
cells isolated from the patient in need
of treatment. However, these cells often
exist in a terminally differentiated and
exhausted state and are unable to mount
a robust immune response following
reinfusion. Recent evidence suggests
that administration of a vaccine in
parallel with the T cell product can
ameliorate this performance defect
when the vaccine targets antigen(s)
recognized by the T cells. It is hoped
that this two-part approach will
enhance treatment efficacy. The
exclusive field of use which may be
granted to Marble applies to only certain
autologous T cell products and
vaccination strategies and does not
include, for example, at least two broad
classes of cell therapies: allogeneic T
cell-based products and TCR-engineered

T cell products (TCR–T). Accordingly,
the proposed scope of rights which may
be conveyed under the license covers a
portion of the possible applications of
E–046–2022.
This Notice is made in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
The prospective exclusive license will
be royalty bearing, and the prospective
exclusive license may be granted unless
within fifteen (15) days from the date of
this published Notice, the National
Cancer Institute 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 CFR part 404.
In response to this Notice, the public
may file comments or objections.
Comments and objections, other than
those in the form of a license
application, will not be treated
confidentially and may be made
publicly available.
License applications submitted in
response to this Notice will be
presumed to contain business
confidential information and any release
of information from these license
applications will be made only as
required and upon a request under the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
552.
Dated: February 2, 2024.

regulation at 43 CFR part 100 to
implement these provisions. The
regulation requires appraisers to submit
certain information so that the Secretary
can verify that the appraiser meets the
minimum qualifications.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–489 and 731–
TA–1201 (Second Review)]

Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From
China
Determinations
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject five-year reviews, the
United States International Trade
Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of
1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the
countervailing duty order on drawn
stainless steel sinks from China and the
antidumping duty order on drawn
stainless steel sinks from China would
be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.
Background
The Commission instituted these
reviews on July 3, 2023 (88 FR 42688)
and determined on October 6, 2023 that
it would conduct expedited reviews (88
FR 80762, November 20, 2023).
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It
completed and filed its determinations
in these reviews on February 1, 2024.
The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5489
(February 2024), entitled Drawn
Stainless Steel Sinks from China:
Investigation Nos. 701–TA–489 and

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 701–TA–686 (Final)]

Brass Rod From India
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigation, the United
States International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant
to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’),
that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of brass rod from India, provided for in
subheadings 7407.21.15, 7407.21.30,
7407.21.70, and 7407.21.90 of the

investigation effective April 27, 2023,
following receipt of a petitions filed
with the Commission and Commerce by
the American Brass Rod Fair Trade
Coalition, Washington, District of
Columbia; Mueller Brass Co., Port
Huron, Michigan; and Wieland Chase
LLC, Montpelier, Ohio. The
Commission scheduled the final phase
of the investigation following
notification of a preliminary
determination by Commerce that
imports of brass rod from India were
being subsidized within the meaning of
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of
the final phase of the Commission’s
investigation and of a public hearing to
