FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 35 U.S.C. 209 provides federal agencies with authority to grant exclusive licenses in federally-owned inventions, if, among other things, the agency finds that the public will be served by the granting of the license. The statute requires that no exclusive license may be granted unless public notice of the intent to grant the license has been provided, and the agency has considered all comments received in response to that public notice, before the end of the comment period. IAT, of Boca Raton, Florida has applied for an exclusive license to practice the inventions embodied in U.S. Patents Nos. 6,545,281 and 6,479,826 and has plans for commercialization of the inventions. The exclusive license will be subject to a license and other rights retained by the U.S. Government, and other terms and conditions to be negotiated. DOE intends to negotiate to grant the license, unless, within 30 days of this notice, the Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property, Department of Energy, Washington, DC 20585, receives in writing any of the following, together with supporting documents: (i) A statement from any person setting forth reason why it would not be in the best interests of the United States to grant the proposed license; or (ii) An application for a nonexclusive license to the invention in which applicant states that if already has brought the invention to practical application or is likely to bring the invention to practical application expeditiously. The Department will review all timely written responses to this notice, and will proceed with negotiating the license if, after consideration of written responses to this notice, a finding is made that the license is in the public interest.

ACTION: Notice of proposed power rates. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Western Area Power Administration (Western) is proposing revised rates for Loveland Area Projects (LAP) firm electric service. LAP consists of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project and the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program—Western Division, which were integrated for marketing and ratemaking purposes in 1989. Current rates, under Rate Schedule L–F5, expire on December 31, 2008, but are not sufficient to meet the LAP revenue requirements. Proposed rates will provide sufficient revenue to pay all annual costs, including interest expense, and repay required investment within the allowable period. Western will prepare a brochure that provides detailed information on the rates to all interested parties. Proposed rates, under Rate Schedule L–F6, are scheduled to go into effect on January 1, 2006, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2010. Publication of this Federal Register notice begins the formal process for the proposed rate adjustment. The consultation and comment period begins today and will end September 14, 2005. Western will present a detailed explanation of the proposed rates at public information forums. The public information forum dates are: 1. July 19, 2005, 10 a.m. MDT in Denver, CO. 2. July 20, 2005, 8 a.m. CDT in Lincoln, NE. Western will accept oral and written comments at a public comment forum. The public comment forum will be held on the following date: 1. August 16, 2005, 9 a.m. MDT in Denver, CO. Western will accept written comments any time during the consultation and comment period. ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Joel K. Bladow, Regional Manager, Rocky Mountain Region, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 East Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986, e-mail lapfirmadj@wapa.gov. Western will post information about the rate process on its Web site under the ‘‘Rate Adjustments’’ section at https://www.wapa.gov/rm/ rm.htm. Western will post official comments received via letter and e-mail to its Web site after the close of the comment period. Western must receive written comments by the end of the consultation and comment period to ensure they are considered in Western’s decision process. The public information forum locations are: 1. Denver—Radisson Stapleton Plaza Hotel, 3333 Quebec Street, Denver, CO. DATES: 35079 2. Lincoln—Peru State College Center (located on the skywalk floor of Energy Square; Floor 3 in Center Park Garage), 1111 O Street, Lincoln, NE. The public comment forum location is: 1. Denver—Radisson Stapleton Plaza Hotel, 3333 Quebec Street, Denver, CO. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Daniel T. Payton, Rates Manager, Rocky Mountain Region, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 East Crossroads Boulevard, Loveland, CO 80538–8986, telephone (970) 461–7442, e-mail lapfirmadj@wapa.gov. Proposed rates for LAP firm electric service are designed to recover an annual revenue requirement that includes investment repayment, interest, purchase power, operation and maintenance, and repayment of irrigation assistance costs as required by law. The projected annual revenue requirement for firm electric service is allocated equally between capacity and energy. The Department of Energy approved Rate Schedule L–F5 for LAP firm electric service on December 24, 2003 (Rate Order No. WAPA–105, 69 FR 644, January 6, 2004), and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) confirmed and approved the rate schedule on December 21, 2004, under FERC Docket No. EF04–5181–000 (109 FERC 62,228). Approval for Rate Schedule L–F5 covered 5 years beginning on February 1, 2004, ending on December 31, 2008. Under Rate Schedule L–F5, the composite rate effective on October 1, 2004, is 23.90 mills per kilowatthour (mills/kWh), the energy rate is 11.95 mills/kWh and the capacity rate is $3.14 per kilowattmonth (kWmonth). Under Rate Schedule L–F6, Western is proposing a two-step rate adjustment. Under a two-step method, the rates for LAP firm electric service will result in an overall composite rate increase of approximately 9.3 percent effective on January 1, 2006, and another 5.2 percent effective on January 1, 2007, for a total increase of approximately 14.5 percent. The proposed rates for L–F6 firm electric service are listed in Table 1.
