Atherosclerosis, the most prevalent of cardiovascular diseases, is the primary cause of heart attack, stroke, and gangrene of the extremities. It is also the principal cause of death in the United States. The inventors have developed a technique for evaluating vascular function by counting endothelial progenitor cells
(EPCs)in a blood sample. They found that decreased numbers of EPCs correlate significantly with decreased vascular function. A diagnostic test developed utilizing this discovery would have the advantages of being minimally invasive and low cost compared to other currently available diagnostics. The invention describes methods for diagnosing decreased vascular function, detecting increased cardiovascular risk, and diagnosing atherosclerosis. Also included are methods for assaying the number of endothelial progenitor cells and methods for treating a subject with decreased vascular function by administering a therapeutically effective amount of endothelial progenitor cells. The prospective exclusive license will be royalty-bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless, within 60 days from the date of this published Notice, the NIH receives written evidence and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Properly filed competing applications for a license filed in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the contemplated license. Comments and objections submitted in response to this notice will not be made available for public inspection, and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Dated: June 26, 2007. Steven M. Ferguson, Director, Division of Technology Development and Transfer, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This is notice, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR part 404.7(a)(1)(i), that the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, is contemplating the grant of an exclusive patent license to practice the inventions embodied in U.S. Patent Application 60/870,050, entitled “Human Cancer Therapy Using Anthrax Lethal Toxin Activated by Tumor Associated Proteases” [HHS Reference E-070-2007/0-US-01], including background patent rights to U.S. Patent Application 10/088,952, entitled “Mutated Anthrax Toxin Protective Antigen Proteins that Specifically Target Cells Containing High Amounts of Cell-Surface Metalloproteinases or Plasminogen Activator Receptors” [HHS Reference E-293-1999/0-US-03] and foreign counterparts thereto, and U.S. Patents 5,591,631 and 5,677,274, entitled “Anthrax Toxin Fusion Proteins and Uses Thereof” [HHS References E-064-1993/0-US-01 and E-064-1993/1-US-01, respectively] and foreign counterparts thereto, to FP BioPharma, LLC, which has offices in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The patent rights in these inventions have been assigned to and/or exclusively licensed to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide, and the field of use may be limited to: A method for the treatment of cancer involving protease activated cancer toxins, wherein the cancer toxins comprise Anthrax lethal toxin
(LeTx)modified at the furin-recognized cleavage site to contain a matrix metalloproteinase cleavage site, as defined by the Licensed Patent Rights, and wherein the cancers include, but are not limited to, melanoma, colon, thyroid, prostate, pancreatic and ovarian cancer. This exclusive licensed field of use shall explicitly exclude vaccines and immunotherapeutics for the prevention or treatment of human diseases. DATES: Only written comments and/or applications for a license which are received by the NIH Office of Technology Transfer on or before September 4, 2007 will be considered. ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the patent application, inquiries, comments, and other materials relating to the contemplated exclusive license should be directed to: David A. Lambertson, PhD, Technology Licensing Specialist, Office of Technology Transfer, National Institutes of Health, 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852-3804; Telephone:

(301)402-0220; E-mail: *lambertsond@od.nih.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Anthrax lethal toxin
(LeTx)has been shown to have significant toxicity to cancer cells, particularly those associated with melanoma. However, LeTx also shows significant toxicity towards normal cells, preventing widespread use of the molecule as a cancer therapy. NIH inventors have now engineered LeTx to have increased specificity for cancer cells, with little to no effect on normal cells, enhancing the effectiveness of LeTx for cancer treatment. Modifying the LeTx to be activated by a matrix metalloprotease
(MMP)increases the specificity of LeTx for cancer cells because those cells are more likely to activate the toxin, resulting in more efficient therapy. Mouse data shows that the modified LeTx (called PrAg-L1/LF) is less cytotoxic to “normal” cells in vivo when compared to wild-type LeTx, while maintaining high toxicity towards implanted human tumors. Modification of the LeTx to contain various protease recognition and cleavage sites can potentially extend application of the technology beyond melanomas to the treatment of lung and colon carcinomas, and various other cancers. The prospective exclusive license will be royalty bearing and will comply with the terms and conditions of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The prospective exclusive license may be granted unless within sixty
(60)days from the date of this published notice, the NIH receives written evidence and argument that establishes that the grant of the license would not be consistent with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. Applications for a license in the field of use filed in response to this notice will be treated as objections to the grant of the contemplated exclusive license. Comments and objections submitted to this notice will not be made available for public inspection and, to the extent permitted by law, will not be released under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552.

The primary purpose of the system is to enable the Department's Office of the Inspector General
(OIG)to carry out its responsibilities under the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 3, including its responsibility to conduct and supervise investigations relating to programs and operations of the Department. The Department now proposes to modify the system by adding several new routine uses, revising several existing routine uses for consistency with other Department of Justice notices, and rearranging the list of routine uses into a more logical order. In addition, to improve ease of reference the Department is republishing the system notice in its entirety. The Privacy Act at 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and
(11)provides that the public be given 30 days in which to comment on these proposed changes. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which has oversight responsibility under the Act, has 40 days in which to conclude its review of the system. Therefore please submit any comments in writing to Mary Cahill, Management Analyst, Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530 by August 14, 2007.

The determination was signed on May 9, 2007 and published in the **Federal Register** on May 24, 2007 (72 FR 29182). The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination based on the finding that imports of machine parts, such as shafts and sheaves for CVT transmissions did not contribute importantly to worker separations at the subject firm and no shift of production to a foreign source occurred. The Department reviewed the request for reconsideration and has determined that the petitioner has provided additional information. Therefore, the Department will conduct further investigation to determine if the workers meet the eligibility requirements of the Trade Act of 1974. Conclusion After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted. Signed in Washington, DC, this 27th day of June, 2007. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E7-12913 Filed 7-3-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-FN-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-60,825] Golden Ratio Woodworks, Emigrant, MT; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration On June 11, 2007, the Department of Labor (Department) issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for the workers and former workers of Golden Ratio Woodworks, Emigrant, Montana (the subject firm). The Department's Notice of affirmative determination was published in the **Federal Register** on June 20, 2007 (72 FR 34047). The negative determination was issued on May 1, 2007. The Department's Notice of determination was published in the **Federal Register** on May 17, 2007 (72 FR 27855). Workers produce massage tables, chairs, and accessories. The negative determination was based on the Department's findings that production at the subject firm ceased to operate in January 2007, that the subject firm did not shift production abroad, and that the subject firm's major declining customers' imports did not contribute importantly to workers' separations. In the request for reconsideration, the workers alleged that increased subject firm imports and increased foreign competition contributed to workers' separations. On reconsideration, the Department received information that confirmed that the subject firm licensed the patents to another company to produce articles previously produced at the subject facility. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department received new information from the company official regarding the status of the subject firm and the relationship between the subject firm and the company licensed to produce the subject firm's products (hereafter referred to as “the partner”). The subject firm did not cease to exist, but has entered into an agreement with the partner. In this relationship, the subject firm sells its products and the partner produces them under the “Golden Ratio” brand at its manufacturing facilities. During the reconsideration investigation, the Department also received information that the subject firm separated all production workers, that production ceased absolutely, and that a significant majority of the production at the subject firm was replaced with articles produced in China. In accordance with Section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA. The Department has determined in this case that the group eligibility requirements of Section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the information obtained in the reconsideration investigation, I determine that workers of Golden Ratio Woodworks, Emigrant, Montana, qualify as adversely affected workers under Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Golden Ratio Woodworks, Emigrant, Montana, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after January 23, 2006, through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.

TA-W-60,835D, Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Knoxville, Tennessee. TA-W-60,835E, Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Irving, Texas. On May 29, 2007, the Department of Labor (Department) issued an Affirmative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration for workers and former workers of several Kimberly Clark Corporation (the subject firm) locations: Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Neenah, Wisconsin [TA-W-60,835]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835A]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835B]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835C]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835D]; and Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Irving, Texas [TA-W-60,835E]. The Department's Notice of Affirmative Determination was published in the **Federal Register** on June 7, 2007 (72 FR 31612). Workers provided administrative support to various affiliated subject firm facilities. The negative determination regarding the subject workers' eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
(TAA)and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA)stated that the worker separations are not caused by imports but by the subject firm's decision to outsource administrative support positions, and that the separations cannot be directly attributed to imports or a shift in production of an article. The determination also states that workers at Kimberly Clark Corporation, Kimberly-Clark Global Sales, Neenah, Wisconsin are eligible to apply for TAA and ATAA under TA-W-60,017 (expires September 26, 2008). In the request for reconsideration, counsel for the subject firm alleged that the petitioning worker groups either had a direct link to or directly supported production at affiliated certified production facilities. The request also states that the separated workers are members of several groups within Kimberly Clark—Consumer Sales, Corporate Innovation, Finance and Accounting, and Sourcing and Supply Management. Subject firm counsel asserts that workers in the Consumer Sales group are directly linked to TAA-certified production facilities because they are engaged in the sale of the articles produced at those facilities. Subject firm counsel also asserts that workers in the Corporate Innovations group directly support production at TAA-certified subject firm facilities by responding to consumer complaints and providing feedback to other groups who use the feedback to improve the articles, and by engaging in the research and development of articles produced at TAA-certified subject firm facilities. Subject firm counsel notes in the request for reconsideration that several workers in the Corporate Innovations group are eligible to apply for TAA and ATAA under TA-W-60,017. The request for reconsideration asserts that workers in the Finance and Accounting group directly support production at the subject firm's facilities because they are engaged in accounting and financing activities that ensure the continuous operation of subject firm production facilities. The request for reconsideration also asserts that workers in the Sourcing and Supply Management group directly support production at the subject firm's facilities because they procure materials, equipment, and services required for production at these facilities, and because they are engaged in commodity management related to articles produced by the subject firm. The workers separated from the subject firm are categorized as follows: World-Wide, Neenah, Wisconsin [TA-W-60,835] The one worker separated at this site is a member of the Corporate Innovations group. Global Sales, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835A] One worker separated at this site is a member of the Consumer Sales group and five workers separated at this site are members of the Corporate Innovations group. World-Wide, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835B] The five workers separated at this site are members of the Corporate Innovations group. Global Sales, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835C] One worker separated at this site is a member the Consumer Sales group, forty-three workers separated at this site are members of the Finance and Accounting group, and four workers separated at this site are members of the Sourcing and Supply Management group. World-Wide, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835D] The one worker separated at this site is a member of the Corporate Innovations group. Global Sales, Irving, Texas [TA-W-60,835E] The five workers separated at this site are members of the Consumer Sales group. The request for reconsideration also stated that, contrary to the Department's initial findings, the separated workers' positions were not outsourced but were eliminated as a result of decreased subject firm production. Although the Department contacted the subject firm during the reconsideration investigation to request additional information, no new information was provided. The Department has carefully reviewed the available material, and has determined that there is no evidence that the Department failed to consider any relevant fact or that the Department erred in its interpretation of the facts. As such, the Department affirms the negative determination applicable to subject firms workers at Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Neenah, Wisconsin [TA-W-60,835]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835A]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835B]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835C]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835D]; and Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Irving, Texas [TA-W-60,835E]. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the subject worker group must be certified eligible to apply for TAA. Since the subject workers are denied eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers cannot be certified eligible for ATAA. Conclusion After careful reconsideration, I affirm the original notice of negative determination of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance for workers and former workers of Kimberly Clark Corporation located at Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Neenah, Wisconsin [TA-W-60,835]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835A]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Roswell, Georgia [TA-W-60,835B]; Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835C]; Kimberly Clark World-Wide, Knoxville, Tennessee [TA-W-60,835D]; and Kimberly Clark Global Sales, Irving, Texas [TA-W-60,835E].

Workers of the subject firm were certified eligible to apply for trade adjustment assistance under petition number TA-W-56,570, which expired on April 28, 2007. The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination signed on May 2, 2007 was based on the finding that the subject company did not separate or threaten to separate a significant number of workers since the expiration of the previous certification. The denial notice was published in the **Federal Register** on May 17, 2007 (72 FR 27855). To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied additional information regarding employment at the subject. Upon further contact with the subject firm's company official, it was revealed that the subject firm separated a significant number of workers during June 2007 and there is a threat of future separations. The investigation also revealed that the subject firm is in the process of shifting production of molding equipment for glass containers to Colombia, a beneficiary country under the Andean Trade Preference Act during the relevant period. The shift contributed importantly to the layoffs at the subject firm. In accordance with section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance
(ATAA)for older workers. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation, I determine that there was a shift in production from the workers' firm or subdivision to Colombia of articles that are like or directly competitive with those produced by the subject firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: “All workers of Penn Mould Industries, Inc., Washington, Pennsylvania who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 29, 2007 through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.” Signed in Washington, DC, this 22nd day of June 2007.

D/B/A Robison and Anton Textile Company, Bloomsburg Division, Bloomsburg, PA; Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Certification of Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and a Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance on June 8, 2007, applicable to workers of American & Efird, Inc., d/b/a Robison Anton Textile Company, Bloomsburg Division, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The notice was published in the **Federal Register** on June 22, 2007 (72 FR 34482). At the request of a company official, the Department reviewed the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers were engaged in the production of embroidery thread and yarn. In a request for an amendment, the company provided sufficient information confirming that the skills of the workers at the subject firm are not easily transferable in the local commuting area. Information also obtained from the company states that a significant number of workers of the subject firm are age 50 or over, workers have skills that are not easily transferable, and conditions in the industry are adverse. Review of this information shows that all eligibility criteria under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended have been met. Accordingly, the Department is amending the certification to reflect its finding. The amended notice applicable to TA-W-61,415 is hereby issued as follows: All workers of American & Efird, Inc., d/b/a Robison Anton Textile Company, Bloomsburg Division, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after April 23, 2006 through June 8, 2009, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
