Purpose of the Match: The purpose of this Agreement is to establish the terms and conditions governing NJLWD’s access to, and use of, the DHS–USCIS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program, which provides immigration status information from Federal immigration records to authorized users, and to comply with the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988. New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development will use the SAVE Program to verify the immigration status of non U.S. citizens who apply for benefits (Benefit Applicants) under the Unemployment Compensation (UC) benefits that it administers. Under Federal law, immigrant workers must be in particular immigration categories to qualify for UC benefits. NJLWD will use the information obtained through the SAVE Program to determine whether Benefit Applicants possess the requisite immigration status to be eligible for the UC benefits administered by NJLWD. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program: Section 121 of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, Public Law 99–603, as amended by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), Public Law 104–193, 110 Stat. 2168 (1996), requires DHS to establish a system for the verification of immigration status of alien applicants for, or recipients of, certain types of benefits as specified within IRCA, and to make this system available to state agencies that administer such benefits. Section 121(c) of IRCA amends sec. 1137 of the Social Security Act and certain other sections E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM 14NON1

Immortalized Organ of Corti Cell Line OC-k3 Description of Technology

    Available for nonexclusive licensing as a research material is a 
conditionally immortalized Organ of Corti cell line called OC-k3. 
Sensory cells from the auditory organ, the Organ of Corti, are 
terminally differentiated and cannot be cultured. Moreover, few of them 
can be isolated per cochlea and survive only few hours after isolation 
making impossible to use on them many biochemical and molecular biology 
techniques. OC-k3, expresses many markers of sensory cells and it has 
already been used as an in vitro model for a variety of studies.
