{"abstract":"The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks comments on the Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights, which reviews the factors that an agency may consider when deciding whether to exercise march-in rights. NIST requests information from the public on the proposed version of this guidance document to ensure that it is clear, and its application will both fulfill the purpose of march-in rights and uphold the policy and objectives of the Bayh-Dole Act. The information received in response to this RFI will inform NIST and the Interagency Working Group for Bayh-Dole (IAWGBD) in developing a final framework document that may be used by an agency when making a march-in decision. NIST will hold at least one informational webinar explaining the Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights and how the public can submit comments. Details about the informational webinar(s), including dates, times and any registration requirements, will be announced at https:// www.nist.gov/tpo/policy-coordination/bayh-dole-act.","action":"Notice; Request for Information (RFI).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"National Institute of Standards and Technology","name":"National Institute of Standards and Technology","id":352,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-institute-of-standards-and-technology","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/352","parent_id":54,"slug":"national-institute-of-standards-and-technology"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2023/12/08/2023-26930.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"88 FR 85593","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2024-02-06","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received by 5 p.m. Eastern time on February 6, 2024 to be considered.
