II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ``10
CFR part 81, `Standard Specification for the Granting of Patent
Licenses.''' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on September 18, 2023, 88 FR
63981.
1. The title of the information collection: Part 81 of title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Standard Specification for
the Granting of Patent Licenses.''
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0121.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: Applications
for licenses are submitted once. Other reports are submitted annually,
or as other events require.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Applicants for and
holders of NRC licenses to NRC inventions.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 3.5.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 10.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 10; however, no
applications are anticipated during the next 3 years.
10. Abstract: As specified in 10 CFR part 81, the NRC may grant
nonexclusive licenses or limited exclusive licenses to its patented
inventions to responsible applicants. Applicants for licenses to NRC
inventions are required to provide information which may provide the
basis for granting the requested license. In addition, all license
holders must submit periodic reports on efforts to bring the invention
to a point of practical application and the extent to which they are
making the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to the
public. Exclusive license holders must submit additional information if
they seek to extend their licenses, issue sublicenses, or transfer the
licenses. In addition, if requested, exclusive license holders must
promptly supply to the United States Government copies of all pleadings
and other papers filed in any patent infringement lawsuit, as well as
evidence from proceedings relating to the licensed patent.
