inventions and patents are owned by United States of America, as 
represented by DOE. The prospective exclusive licenses comply with the 
requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 209(c) of title 35 of the United 
States Code gives DOE the authority to grant exclusive or partially 
exclusive licenses in Department-owned inventions where a determination 
is made, among other things, that the desired practical application of 
the invention has not been achieved, or is not likely to be achieved 
expeditiously, under a nonexclusive license. The statute and 
implementing regulations (37 CFR 404) require that the necessary 
determinations be made after public notice and opportunity for filing 
written comments and objections.
    Liquid Ion Solutions, a small business, has applied for exclusive 
licenses to practice the inventions and patents and has plans for 
commercialization of the inventions and patents. DOE intends to grant 
the licenses, upon a final determination in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 
209(c), unless within 15 days of publication of this notice, NETL's 
Technology Transfer Manager (contact information listed above), 
receives in writing any of the following, together with supporting 
documents:
    (i) A statement from any person setting forth reasons why it would 
not be in the best interest of the United States to grant the proposed 
license; or
    (ii) An application for a nonexclusive license to the invention, in 
which applicant states that it already has brought the invention to 
practical application or is likely to bring the invention to practical 
application expeditiously.
    The proposed licenses would be exclusive, subject to a license and 
other rights retained by the United States, and subject to a negotiated 
royalty. DOE will review all timely written responses to this notice, 
and will grant the licenses if, after expiration of the 15-day notice 
period, and after consideration of any written responses to this 
notice, a determination is made in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c) 
that the licenses are in the public interest.
