ACTION: Notice of Prospective Grant of
Exclusive Patent License.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This is a notice in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(i) that the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (‘‘NIST’’),
U.S. Department of Commerce, is
contemplating the grant of an exclusive
license in the United States of America,
its territories, possessions and
commonwealths, to NIST’s interest in
the invention embodied in U.S. Patent
No. 6,168,755 (Application No. 09/321/
113), titled ‘‘High Nitrogen Stainless
Steel,’’ NIST Docket No. 98–025 to
Carpenter Technology Corporation Inc.,
having a place of business at 101 West
Bern Street, Reading, PA 19601. The
grant of the license would be for the
field of use: Biomedical Applications.

Standards and Technology, Office of
Technology Partnerships, 100 Bureau
Drive, Stop 2200, Gaithersburg, MD
20899, Phone 301–975–2691.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 days from the date of this
published Notice, NIST receives written
evidence and argument which 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. The
availability of the invention for
licensing was published in the Federal
Register on February 16, 2000.
U.S. Patent No. 6,168,755 is owned by
the U.S. government, as represented by
the Secretary of Commerce. The patent
involves a high nitrogen stainless steel
alloy and alloy powder comprising
chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo),
manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), nitrogen
(N) and iron (Fe). The composition of
the stainless steel alloy and powder
comprises between about 27 and about
30% by weight Cr, between about 1.5
and about 4.0% by weight Mo, Mn
present and is present in an amount up
to 15% by weight, at least about 8% by
weight Ni, and about 0.8 to about 0.97%
by weight N with the balance being iron.
It has been discovered that forming an
alloy of this chemistry using nitrogen
gas atomization process, followed by a
consolidation process, the alloy is less
likely to form detrimental ferrite, stable
nitride and sigma (.sigma.) phases,
without the need for further processing,
such as solution treating and quenching.
This allows for the formation of
stainless steel articles having a thicker
cross-section with reduced processing
cost.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
Notice of Indirect Cost Rates for the
Damage Assessment, Remediation,
and Restoration Program for Fiscal
Year 2006
SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA’s) Damage Assessment,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:07 Jun 02, 2008
Jkt 214001
Remediation, and Restoration Program
(DARRP) is announcing new indirect
cost rates on the recovery of indirect
costs for its component organizations
involved in natural resource damage
assessment and restoration activities for
fiscal year (FY) 2006. The indirect cost
rates for this fiscal year and dates of
implementation are provided in this
notice. More information on these rates
and the DARRP policy can be found at
the DARRP Web site at https://
www.darrp.noaa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information, contact LaTonya
Burgess at 301–713–4248, ext. 211, by
fax at 301–713–4389, or e-mail at
LaTonya.Burgess@noaa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
mission of the DARRP is to restore
natural resource injuries caused by
releases of hazardous substances or oil
under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), the
Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) (33
U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), and support
restoration of physical injuries to
National Marine Sanctuary resources
under the National Marine Sanctuaries
Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq.).
The DARRP consists of three component
organizations: the Office of Response
and Restoration (ORR) within the
National Ocean Service; the Restoration
Center within the National Marine
Fisheries Service; and the Office of the
General Counsel for Natural Resources
(GCNR). The DARRP conducts Natural
Resource Damage Assessments (NRDAs)
as a basis for recovering damages from
responsible parties, and uses the funds
recovered to restore injured natural
resources.
Consistent with Federal accounting
requirements, the DARRP is required to
account for and report the full costs of
its programs and activities. Further, the
DARRP is authorized by law to recover
reasonable costs of damage assessment
and restoration activities under
CERCLA, OPA, and the NMSA. Within
the constraints of these legal provisions
and their regulatory applications, the
DARRP has the discretion to develop
indirect cost rates for its component
organizations and formulate policies on
the recovery of indirect cost rates
subject to its requirements.
The DARRP’s Indirect Cost Effort
In December 1998, the DARRP hired
the public accounting firm Rubino &
McGeehin, Chartered (R&M) to: Evaluate
cost accounting system and allocation
practices; recommend the appropriate
indirect cost allocation methodology;
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
31679
and determine the indirect cost rates for
the three organizations that comprise
the DARRP. A Federal Register notice
on R&M’s effort, their assessment of the
DARRP’s cost accounting system and
practice, and their determination
regarding the most appropriate indirect
cost methodology and rates for FYs 1993
through 1999 was published on
December 7, 2000 (65 FR 76611). The
notice and report by R&M can also be
found on the DARRP Web site at
https://www.darrp.noaa.gov.
R&M continued its assessment of
DARRP’s indirect cost rate system and
structure for FYs 2000 and 2001. A
second federal notice specifying the
DARRP indirect rates for FYs 2000 and
2001 was published on December 2,
2002 (67 FR 71537).
In October 2002, DARRP hired the
accounting firm of Cotton and Company
LLP (Cotton) to review and certify
DARRP costs incurred on cases for
purposes of cost recovery and to
develop indirect rates for FY 2002 and
subsequent years. As in the prior years,
Cotton concluded that the cost
accounting system and allocation
practices of the DARRP component
organizations are consistent with
Federal accounting requirements.
Consistent with R&M’s previous
analyses, Cotton also determined that
the most appropriate indirect allocation
method continues to be the Direct Labor
Cost Base for all three DARRP
component organizations. The Direct
Labor Cost Base is computed by
allocating total indirect cost over the
sum of direct labor dollars plus the
application of NOAA’s leave surcharge
and benefits rates to direct labor. Direct
labor costs for contractors from I.M.
Systems Group (IMSG) were included in
the direct labor base because Cotton
determined that these costs have the
same relationship to the indirect cost
pool as NOAA direct labor costs. IMSG
provided on-site support to the DARRP
in the areas of injury assessment,
natural resource economics, restoration
planning and implementation, and
policy analysis. IMSG continues to
provide on-site support to the DARRP.
A third federal notice specifying the
DARRP indirect rates for FY 2002 was
published on October 6, 2003 (68 FR
57672), a fourth notice for the FY 2003
indirect cost rates appeared on May 20,
2005 (70 FR 29280), and a fifth notice
for the FY 2004 indirect cost rates was
published on March 16, 2006 (71 FR
13356). The last notice for the FY 2005
indirect cost rates was published on
February 9, 2007 (72 FR 6221). Cotton’s
reports on these indirect rates can also
be found on the DARRP Web site at
https://www.darrp.noaa.gov.
