Separate poverty guideline figures for
Alaska and Hawaii reflect Office of
Economic Opportunity administrative
practice beginning in the 1966–1970
period. (Note that the Census Bureau
poverty thresholds—the version of the
poverty measure used for statistical
purposes—have never had separate
figures for Alaska and Hawaii.) The
poverty guidelines are not defined for
Puerto Rico or other outlying
jurisdictions. In cases in which a
Federal program using the poverty
guidelines serves any of those
jurisdictions, the Federal office that
administers the program is generally
responsible for deciding whether to use
the contiguous-states-and-DC guidelines
for those jurisdictions or to follow some
other procedure.
Due to confusing legislative language
dating back to 1972, the poverty
guidelines sometimes have been
mistakenly referred to as the ‘‘OMB’’
(Office of Management and Budget)
poverty guidelines or poverty line. In
fact, OMB has never issued the
guidelines; the guidelines are issued
each year by the Department of Health
and Human Services. The poverty
guidelines may be formally referenced
as ‘‘the poverty guidelines updated

Jkt 250001
periodically in the Federal Register by
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services under the authority of
42 U.S.C. 9902(2).’’
Some Federal programs use a
percentage multiple of the guidelines
(for example, 125 percent or 185 percent
of the guidelines), as noted in relevant
authorizing legislation or program
regulations. Non-Federal organizations
that use the poverty guidelines under
their own authority in non-federallyfunded activities also may choose to use
a percentage multiple of the guidelines.
The poverty guidelines do not make a
distinction between farm and non-farm
families, or between aged and non-aged
units. (Only the Census Bureau poverty
thresholds have separate figures for aged
and non-aged one-person and twoperson units.)
This notice does not provide
definitions of such terms as ‘‘income’’ or
‘‘family’’ as there is considerable
variation of these terms among programs
that use the poverty guidelines. The
legislation or regulations governing each
program define these terms and
determine how the program applies the
poverty guidelines. In cases where
legislation or regulations do not
establish these definitions, the entity
that administers or funds the program is
responsible to define such terms as
‘‘income’’ and ‘‘family.’’ Therefore
questions such as net or gross income,
counted or excluded income, or
household size should be directed to the
entity that administers or funds the
program.

of Producing T Cell Populations
Enriched for Stable Regulatory TCells’’ [HHS Reference No. E–279–
2011/0–US–02]
• U.S. Divisional Application No.15/
284,840—filed October 4, 2016,
entitled ‘‘Methods of Producing T Cell
Populations Enriched for Stable
Regulatory T-Cells’. [HHS Reference
No. E–279–2011/0–US–03]
The patent rights in these inventions
have been assigned to the government of
the United States of America.
The prospective exclusive license
territory will be the United States and
the field of use will be limited to:
‘‘Human cell-based therapeutics for the
treatment of Hemophilia A in patients
that have inhibitory Factor VIII
antibodies.’’
The technology is directed to a
method for producing or growing cell
populations that are enriched for stable,
highly suppressive regulatory T cells
(Tregs). Tregs are critical in regulating
immune system processes that maintain
tolerance to self-antigens and prevent
immune mediated diseases. The method
takes a population of cells comprising
stable, regulatory T cells and enriched
for specific CD markers, cultures these
cells in the presence of interleukin-2, an
anti-CD3 antibody, an anti-CD28
antibody, and oligodeoxynucleotides of
specified length having a
phosphorothioate backbone, and yields
the expansion of the initial population
of regulatory T-cells. The expanded
Tregs may then be used for the
treatment of immune-mediated diseases.
This notice is made in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404.
