This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Commerce. Title: Domestic Manufacturing Waiver Form. OMB Control Number: 0693–XXXX. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular, new collection. Number of Respondents: 10. Average Hours per Response: 13 hours. Needs and Uses: The Bayh-Dole Act (35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing regulations (37 CFR 401) require that Contractors (as defined in the statute and regulations) shall not grant ‘‘the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United States unless such person agrees that any products embodying the subject invention or produced through the use of the subject invention will be manufactured substantially in the United States.’’ However, the law allows an agency to waive this requirement if a Contractor has shown that ‘‘reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that under the circumstances domestic manufacturing is not commercially feasible.’’ Pursuant to Executive Order 14104, NIST was directed to consult with the Interagency Working Group for BayhDole to create a set of common questions to be used by all agencies as an application to apply for waivers of the domestic manufacturing requirement under the Bayh-Dole Act. This information will be used by agencies to determine whether the statutory criteria for a waiver have been met and to understand the circumstances surrounding the request. The questions allow the Contractor to show the agency what actions they took to attempt to grant licenses to other parties likely to manufacture in the United States and what actions they or their licensee may have taken to attempt to locate manufacturers within the United States. It also allows the agency to ascertain the circumstances surrounding manufacture, including cost, capacity, and other burdens, which may make domestic manufacturing not commercially feasible. The questions allow the agency to understand the location and the circumstances surrounding where the Contractor proposes that manufacturing be done VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 May 23, 2024 Jkt 262001 and whether any sort of domestic manufacturing is anticipated. These and other information collected through these questions will aid agencies when they weigh whether to grant requests to waive the domestic manufacturing requirement. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain benefits. Legal Authority: The Bayh-Dole Act (35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing regulations (37 CFR 401). This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/ public/do/PRAMain.
