SUMMARY: Pursuant to 37 CFR part 404, EPA hereby gives notice of its
intent to grant an exclusive, royalty-bearing, revocable license to
practice the inventions described and claimed in the patents listed

Organics in the Incineration of Wastes,'' issued February 9, 1993.
The announcement of U.S. Patent No. 5,021,229 as being available

objections to the grant, together with supporting documentation. The
documentation from objecting parties having an interest in practicing
the above patents should include an application for exclusive or
nonexclusive license with the information set forth in 37 CFR 404.8.
The EPA Patent Counsel and other EPA officials will review all written
responses and then recommend to the Assistant Administrator for
