(L-asp). Included are methods to
decrease cell proliferation, most notably
in order to treat various cancers, by
administrating to a subject a
combination of an ASNS antagonist and
a formulation of L-asp. The main ASNS
antagonist utilized in these methods are
small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that
reduce ASNS expression. Also included
are methods of screening for the efficacy
of L-asp in a subject by detecting the
expression of the ASNS gene in a
sample. The technology also describes a
kit that probes to detect ASNS gene
expression in a sample to identify the
efficacy of L-asp treatment. ASNS serves
as a key biomarker for acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and other
malignancies because these cancer cells
express little or no ASNS compared to
normal cells. As a result, the cancerous
cells must acquire asparagine from the
bloodstream to survive and proliferate
to form tumors. Over several decades,
patients with ALL and other leukemias
have been treated with L-asparaginase
(L-asp) to break down asparagine in the
body and starve leukemia cells of
asparagine. L-asp treatment is usually
more effective when ASNS expression
in the patient is limited.
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 part 404.7. The
prospective exclusive license may be
granted unless within sixty (60) days
from the date of this published notice,
the 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 CFR 404.7.
Applications for a license in the field
of use filed in response to this notice
will be treated as objections to the grant
of the contemplated exclusive license.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart L, Oil
and Gas Production Measurement.
OMB Control Number: 1010–0051.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
OCS. Such rules and regulations will
apply to all operations conducted under
a lease. Operations on the OCS must
preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that
is consistent with the need to make such
resources available to meet the Nation’s
energy needs as rapidly as possible; to
balance orderly energy resource
development with protection of human,
marine, and coastal environments; to
ensure the public a fair and equitable
return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise
competition. The Federal Oil and Gas
Royalty Management Act of 1982 (30
U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) at section
1712(b)(2) prescribes that an operator
will ‘‘develop and comply with such
minimum site security measures as the
Secretary deems appropriate, to protect
oil or gas produced or stored on a lease
site or on the Outer Continental Shelf
from theft.’’ Regulations at 30 CFR part
250, subpart L, implement these
statutory requirements. We use the
information to ensure that the volumes
of hydrocarbons produced are measured
accurately, and royalties are paid on the
proper volumes. Specifically, MMS
needs the information to:
• Determine if measurement
equipment is properly installed,
provides accurate measurement of
production on which royalty is due, and
is operating properly;
• Obtain rates of production data in
allocating the volumes of production
measured at royalty sales meters, which
can be examined during field
inspections;
• Ascertain if all removals of oil and
condensate from the lease are reported;
• Determine the amount of oil that
was shipped when measurements are
taken by gauging the tanks rather than
being measured by a meter;
• Ensure that the sales location is
secure and production cannot be
removed without the volumes being
recorded; and
• Review proving reports to verify
that data on run tickets are calculated
and reported accurately.
The MMS will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2) and under regulations at 30 CFR
250.197, Data and information to be
made available to the public or for
limited inspection and 30 CFR part 252,
OCS Oil and Gas Information Program.
No items of a sensitive nature are
collected. Responses are mandatory.
Frequency: Varies by section, but
primarily monthly, or on occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: 30 CFR Part 250, Subpart L, Oil and Gas Production
Measurement.
OMB Control Number: 1010-0051.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act, as amended
(43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to prescribe rules and
regulations to administer leasing of the OCS. Such rules and
regulations will apply to all operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve, protect, and develop oil and
natural gas resources in a manner that is consistent with the need to
make such resources available to meet the Nation's energy needs as
rapidly as possible; to balance orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and coastal environments; to ensure
the public a fair and equitable return on the resources of the OCS; and
to preserve and maintain free enterprise competition. The Federal Oil
and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (30 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) at
section 1712(b)(2) prescribes that an operator will ``develop and
comply with such minimum site security measures as the Secretary deems
appropriate, to protect oil or gas produced or stored on a lease site
or on the Outer Continental Shelf from theft.'' Regulations at 30 CFR
part 250, subpart L, implement these statutory requirements. We use the
information to ensure that the volumes of hydrocarbons produced are
measured accurately, and royalties are paid on the proper volumes.
Specifically, MMS needs the information to:
Determine if measurement equipment is properly installed,
provides accurate measurement of production on which royalty is due,
and is operating properly;
Obtain rates of production data in allocating the volumes
of production measured at royalty sales meters, which can be examined
during field inspections;
Ascertain if all removals of oil and condensate from the
lease are reported;
Determine the amount of oil that was shipped when
measurements are taken by gauging the tanks rather than being measured
by a meter;
Ensure that the sales location is secure and production
cannot be removed without the volumes being recorded; and
Review proving reports to verify that data on run tickets
are calculated and reported accurately.
The MMS will protect information from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2) and under regulations at 30
CFR 250.197, Data and information to be made available to the public or

* Respondents gather this information as part of their normal business practices. MMS only requires copies of
readily available documents. There is no burden for testing, meter reading, etc.
Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Non-Hour Cost Burden: The
currently approved non-hour cost burden for this information collection
is a total of $1,154,700. This cost burden is for filing fees
associated with submitting requests for approval of simple applications
(applications to temporarily reroute production (for a duration not to
exceed 6 months); production tests prior to pipeline construction;
departures related to
[[Page 56860]]
meter proving, well testing, or sampling frequency ($1,271 per
application) or to submit requests for approval of complex applications
(creation of new facility measurement points (FMPs); association of
leases or units with existing FMPs; inclusion of production from
additional structures; meter updates which add buyback gas meters or
pigging meters; other applications which request deviations from the
approved allocation procedures ($3,760 per application).
Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.)
provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated
to respond.
Comments: Before submitting an ICR to OMB, PRA section
3506(c)(2)(A) requires each agency ``* * * to provide notice * * * and
otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies
concerning each proposed collection of information * * * ''. Agencies
must specifically solicit comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the agency to
perform its duties, including whether the information is useful; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d)
minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Agencies must also estimate the non-hour paperwork cost burdens to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of
information. Therefore, if you have costs to generate, maintain, and
disclose this information, you should comment and provide your total
capital and startup cost components or annual operation, maintenance,
and purchase of service components. You should describe the methods you
use to estimate major cost factors, including system and technology
acquisition, expected useful life of capital equipment, discount
rate(s), and the period over which you incur costs. Capital and startup
costs include, among other items, computers and software you purchase
to prepare for collecting information, monitoring, and record storage
facilities. You should not include estimates for equipment or services
purchased: (i) Before October 1, 1995; (ii) to comply with requirements
not associated with the information collection; (iii) for reasons other
than to provide information or keep records for the Government; or (iv)
as part of customary and usual business or private practices.
We will summarize written responses to this notice and address them
in our submission for OMB approval. As a result of your comments, we
will make any necessary adjustments to the burden in our submission to
OMB.
Public Comment Procedures: Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
