DATES: The prospective partially exclusive license may be granted 
unless NASA receives written objections including evidence and

inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released 
under the Freedom of Information Act.

the prospective license or requests for further information may be 
submitted to Agency Counsel for Intellectual Property, NASA 
Headquarters at Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6f071e421f0e1b0a011b000909060c0a2f020e060341010e1c0e41080019"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="94fce5b9e4f5e0f1fae0fbf2f2fdf7f1d4f9f5fdf8bafaf5e7f5baf3fbe2">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Questions may be
