The statute and implementing regulations (37 CFR 404) require that the necessary determinations be made after public notice and opportunity for filing written comments and objections.

Within 15 days of publication of this notice, any person may submit in writing to DOE’s General Counsel for Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Office (see contact information), either of the following, together with supporting documents: (i) A statement setting forth reasons why it would not be in the best interest 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 it already has brought the invention to practical application or is likely to bring the invention to practical application expeditiously. The proposed license would be exclusive, subject to a license and other rights retained by the United States, and subject to a negotiated royalty. DOE will review all timely written responses to this notice, and will grant the licenses if, after expiration of the 15-day notice period, and after consideration of any written responses to this notice, a determination is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c) that the licenses are in the public interest. mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Brian Lally, Assistant General Counsel for Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property.

(AEP Utilities) filed joint applications to voluntarily transfer the facilities authorized by Presidential permit Nos. PP–94, PP–219, and PP–317 to AEP Texas Inc. on July 20, 2016. The applications requested that the Department of Energy (DOE) rescind the Presidential permits held by AEP TCC and simultaneously issue permits to AEP Texas Inc., the new name of AEP Utilities, covering the same international transmission facilities from the previous permits. DOE issued the new Presidential permits on February 13, 2017. DOE deemed the rescission and reissuance of these permits to be primarily clerical in nature because the facilities at issue already exist and there will be no physical or operational changes to the facilities. The prior permit holder is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the current entity that will own and operate the facilities after a corporate reorganization. There will be no change in ultimate control of the facilities; they will be owned and operated by a different entity in the same chain of ownership of the facilities. Prior to issuing any new Presidential permit, however, DOE must obtain concurrence from the Departments of State and Defense pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended by Executive Order 12038. DOE obtained such concurrence from the Department of State and the Department of Defense on December 28, 2016 and January 18, 2017, respectively, for the issuances of PP–423, PP–424 and PP–425.
