SUMMARY: This notice is issued in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1)

Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The 
prospective exclusive license will comply with the terms and conditions 
of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7.

received by NASA within fifteen (15) days of the date of this published 
notice will also be treated as objections to the grant of the 
contemplated exclusive license.
