Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 41978 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 28, 2016 / Notices Purpose: The inaugural Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAG), issued in 2008, represents the first comprehensive guidelines on physical activity issued by the federal government. The PAG provides sciencebased advice on how physical activity can help promote health and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The PAG serves as the benchmark and primary, authoritative voice of the federal government for providing science-based guidance on physical activity, fitness, and health in the United States. Five years after the first edition of the PAG was released, ODPHP, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition (PCFSN) led development of the PAG Midcourse Report: Strategies to Increase Physical Activity Among Youth. The second edition of the PAG will build upon the first edition and provide a foundation for federal recommendations and education for physical activity programs for Americans, including those at risk for chronic disease. The Secretary of HHS approved establishment of the 2018 PAGAC as a discretionary federal advisory committee. The Committee will provide the Department with independent, science-based advice and recommendations. The 2018 PAGAC consists of a panel of experts who are selected from the private sector. Individuals who are selected to serve on the 2018 PAGAC must have current scientific knowledge in the field of human physical activity and health promotion or the prevention of chronic disease. Appointed Committee Members: As stipulated in the charter, the 2018 PAGAC will be composed of 11–17 members. Members of the Committee are appointed by the Secretary. Information on Committee membership is available at www.health.gov/ paguidelines. Committee’s Task: The work of the 2018 PAGAC will be time-limited and solely advisory in nature. The Committee will develop recommendations based on the preponderance of current scientific and medical knowledge using a systematic review approach. The 2018 PAGAC will examine the current PAG, take into consideration new scientific evidence and current resource documents, and develop a report to the Secretary of HHS that outlines its science-based advice and recommendations for development of the PAG, second edition. The Committee will hold approximately five VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Jun 27, 2016 Jkt 238001 public meetings to review and discuss recommendations. Meeting dates, times, locations, and other relevant information will be announced at least 15 days in advance of each meeting via Federal Register notice.

Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: This is notice, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, that the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services, is contemplating the grant of a start-up exclusive license to Pro Arc Diagnostics, Inc., which is located in Missouri, to practice the inventions embodied in the following patents: U.S. Patent Application 14/408,919, filed December 17, 2014 (HHS reference E– 088–2012/0–US–03). The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to the United States of America. The prospective start-up exclusive license territory may be worldwide and the field of use may be limited to FDA premarket approved (PMA) diagnostics for the detection of JC Virus. DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license which are received by NINDS Technology Transfer on or before July 13, 2016 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the patent application, inquiries, comments, and other materials relating to the contemplated start-up exclusive license should be directed to: Susan Ano, Ph.D., NINDS Technology Transfer, 31 Center Drive, Suite 8A52, MS2540, Bethesda, MD 20892; Telephone: (301) 435–5515; Email: anos@mail.nih.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This invention provides a multiplex PCRbased method for detecting JC virus, and distinguishing between the nonpathogenic and pathogenic JC virus that causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in individuals that are immunocompromised. The invention helps to identify individuals at risk of developing PML by detecting two regions of the viral genome. The assay asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:49 Jun 27, 2016 Jkt 238001 detects JC viral DNA with high sensitivity using the T protein coding DNA that is highly specific and does not allow mutations. It also detects a genome variable region in the noncoding region that detects changes from the nonpathogenic genotype in the urine to the pathogenic type seen in tissues especially in the brain, bone marrow, plasma/serum or immune cells of PML patients. The prospective start-up exclusive license may be granted unless within fifteen (15) 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 part 404. Complete 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 start-up exclusive license. Comments and objections submitted to this notice will not be made available for public inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.
