National Aeronautics and Space Administration March 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

NASA hereby gives notice of its intent to grant a partially exclusive patent license in the United States to practice the invention(s) described and claimed in U.S. Patent Application No. 15/ 014,608 entitled ``Nuclear Thermionic Avalanche Cells with Thermoelectric (NTAC-TE) Generator in Tandem Mode,'' NASA Case Number LAR-17981-1; U.S. Patent Application No. 15/995,467 entitled ``Portable Compact Thermionic Power Cell,'' NASA Case Number LAR-18860-1; U.S. Patent Application No. 15/479,679 entitled ``Metallic Junction Thermoelectric Generator,'' NASA Case Number LAR-18866-1; U.S. Patent Application No. 62/621,930 titled ``Selective and Direct Deposition Technique for Streamlined CMOS Processing,'' NASA Case Number LAR- 18925-P2; U.S. Patent Application No. 62/643,292 entitled ``Portable Miniaturized Thermionic Power Cell with Multiple Regenerative Layers,'' NASA Case No. LAR-18926-P; U.S. Patent Application No. 62/643,303 entitled ``High Performance Electric Generators Boosted by Nuclear Electron Avalanche (NEA),'' NASA Case No. LAR-19112-P; U.S. Patent Application No. 62/642,198 entitled ``Co-60 Breeding Reactor Tandem with Thermionic Avalanche Cell,'' NASA Case No. LAR-18762-P; U.S. Patent Application No. 62/678,006 entitled ``Multi-Layered Radio- Isotope for Enhanced Photoelectron Avalanche Process,'' NASA Case No. LAR-19420-P to BlackRock Energy Corporation, having its principal place of business in Williamsburg, VA. The fields of use may be limited to mobile and/or transportable, as opposed to stationary (where stationary means permanently fixed and not capable of being moved), power/energy sources for United States Department of Defense (specifically the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, as well as any future created Space Corps) applications, including but not limited to powering mobile and/or transportable high energy weaponry, including the weaponry's mode of transport (including but not limited to tanks, surface vessels, trucks, aircraft, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), and drones), high energy weapon platforms, and portable power stations for use at Forward Operating Bases (where Forward Operating Bases means airfields used to support tactical operations without establishing full support facilities). The licensed exclusive fields of use may exclude all other fields, including but not limited to any outer space applications intended for use beyond 400,000 feet above Earth's mean sea level. NASA has not yet made a determination to grant the requested license and may deny the requested license even if no objections are submitted within the comment period.

This is an amended version of NASA's earlier Federal Register Notice which was published on March 13, 2019, Document 2019-04168, and Notice Number 84 FR 9143 (See Supplementary Information). The Office of Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO), within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, provides the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on an information collection project, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on an information collection project titled, ``Information Collection for TREAT Astronauts Act.'' The TREAT Astronauts Act is subsection 441 within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 (115th Congress, https:// www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ10/PLAW-115publ10.pdf). The goal is to collect information for routine care, and develop a knowledge base on the effects of spaceflight as well as address gaps in services for medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with human space flight.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, the FAR Council invites the public to comment upon a renewal concerning FAR part 4 requirements.

Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Regulatory Secretariat Division will be submitting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve an extension of a previously approved information collection requirement concerning government property.

The Office of Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO), within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government information, provides the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on an information collection project, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on an information collection project titled, ``Electronic Medical Record for Implementation of TREAT Astronaut Act.'' The TREAT Astronaut Act is subsection 441 within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Transition Authorization Act of 2017 (115th Congress, https:// www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ10/PLAW-115publ10.pdf). The goal is to maintain digital medical records of routine health care, emergency treatment, and scheduled examinations for active or retired astronauts in order to develop a knowledge base and address gaps in services in support of medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with human space flight.

In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announces a meeting of the Aeronautics Committee of the NASA Advisory Council (NAC). This meeting will be held for soliciting, from the aeronautics community and other persons, research and technical information relevant to program planning.
