Download as PDF 16604 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 30, 2021 / Notices licensed to the government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide and the field of use may be limited to: jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES The development, manufacture and commercialization of a T-Cell Receptor (TCR) Therapy for the treatment of Kita-Kyushu Lung Cancer Antigen 1 (KK–LC–1) expressing cancers, using modified or unmodified natural killer (NK) cells transduced using viral vectors (including lentivirus or retrovirus) to express an antiKK–LC–1 TCR wherein: (1) The TCR has: (a) A single antigen specificity; and (b) a binding domain with complementary determining region (CDR) sequences of CASSLGTGGYNEQFF (beta chain) and CAGQLVYGNKLVF (alpha chain); and (2) The modified allogeneic NK cells can be modified to express one or more of the following: (a) CD3 subunits; (b) CD8 co-receptor subunits; (c) truncated CD34 tag; (d) a chemokine receptor; or (e) IL15. For the sake of clarity, unmodified NK cells would mean cells that are modified only by the expression of the TCR without any additional modification. This technology discloses TCRs that are specific for the cell surface domain of KK–LC–1. KK–LC–1 is a cancer germline antigen, that in adults, is reported to be expressed only by germ cells and by certain cancers, including gastric cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Currently, there for no effective immunotherapies for patients with these various solid tumors. The NK–TCRs can potentially be used for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer, gastric cancer, and lung cancer. In the subject situation, the TCRs can lead to the selective destruction of the cancerous cells. The development of a new therapeutic targeting KK–LC–1 will benefit public health by providing an effective treatment for patients with solid tumors. This notice is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing, and the prospective exclusive license may be granted unless within fifteen (15) days from the date of this published notice, the National Cancer Institute 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. In response to this Notice, the public may file comments or objections. Comments and objections, other than those in the form of a license application, will not be treated VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 Mar 29, 2021 Jkt 253001 confidentially, and may be made publicly available.

Notice of decision. AGENCY: ACTION: On February 14, 2020, the Coast Guard announced the potential consolidation of several redundant Coast Guard boat stations and solicited public comments to inform the decision making process. After reading the public comments, the Coast Guard has decided to consolidate four (4) Coast Guard boat stations to increase staffing and capacity levels at nearby boat stations that are better equipped to respond to calls for rescue. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document call or email Todd Aikins, Coast Guard Office of Boat Forces; telephone 202–372– 2463], email todd.r.aikins@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: Background and Purpose This notice is issued under authority of 14 U.S.C. 909 and 910. The Coast Guard engaged in public outreach and connected with locals in the area of the boat stations to be closed. Opportunities were provided for a public meeting, but because of the pandemic it was decided that such collaboration was better done virtually. Response to Public Comments The Coast Guard received 111 distinct public submissions in response to the Federal Register Notice. Five supported the consolidations, while 106 raised concerns (one of the five supporting PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 comments recommended consolidating a single station as a proof of concept). In the following discussion, we summarize the reasons or information some commenters gave in support of their position or recommendation. After each summary, we state our response. No comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of Station(small) Roosevelt Inlet. No comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of Station(small) Salem. Two comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of Station(small) Shark River. One comment noted that a fast response is needed in the area, while the other asked that the decision be postponed until after the local COVID stay-at-home orders were lifted. The Coast Guard complied with the latter comment, and is following the findings of contractor analyses and the referenced GAO report that finds the remaining response sufficient in this area, most notably from Station Manasquan Inlet, fewer than ten miles away. Four comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of Station(small) Fishers Island. All comments noted the area near Race Rock Lighthouse and its treacherous current, necessitating a fast Coast Guard Response. The Coast Guard is following the findings of contractor analyses and the referenced GAO report that finds the remaining response sufficient in this area, most notably from Station New London, fewer than ten miles away. One hundred comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of Station Oxford. Twenty comments were general in nature, stating that the station is important and should not be closed. 69 comments noted that the area near Station Oxford is heavily worked and traveled, local resources have limited crews and hours, and that response from Station Annapolis would take too long. Six comments noted that Station Oxford was necessary for local triathlons, regattas, and other races. Three comments noted that boat safety checks are crucial to limiting the number of mariners in distress in the area. One comment noted that Station Oxford is critical to LMR in Terrapin Cover. One commenter felt that the data used in the studies was outdated and took issue with the fact that only the Coast Guard Districts with the most redundancy were included in the analyses instead of every station. In response to these concerns, Station Oxford will be removed as a candidate for closure in FY21 and analyzed further.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    This notice is issued under authority of 14 U.S.C. 909 and 910. The 
Coast Guard engaged in public outreach and connected with locals in the 
area of the boat stations to be closed. Opportunities were provided for

collaboration was better done virtually.

    The Coast Guard received 111 distinct public submissions in 
response to the Federal Register Notice. Five supported the 
consolidations, while 106 raised concerns (one of the five supporting 
comments recommended consolidating a single station as a proof of 
concept).
    In the following discussion, we summarize the reasons or 
information some commenters gave in support of their position or 
recommendation. After each summary, we state our response.
    No comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of 
Station(small) Roosevelt Inlet.
    No comments were submitted with concerns about the consolidation of
