SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that three Federally owned cultivars of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Government's plant variety 
protection rights to this variety are assigned to the United States of 
America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture. It is in the 
public interest to so license this invention, for the University of 
Georgia Research Foundation has submitted a complete and sufficient 
application for a license. 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 ninety days from the date of this published 
Notice, ARS receives written evidence and argument which 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.

R.M. Parry, Jr.,
Assistant Administrator.
