Final Technical Reports – Protected Data Sample Clauses

Final Technical Reports – Protected Data. If the award authorizes the recipient, under the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, to protect the data produced during the course of the award, where public release of the final technical report is protected for a limited period-of-time, and the recipient elects to protect the report, the recipient will be required to 1) submit a final technical report with the protected data (which will be protected during the identified data protection period) and 2) a version of the technical report that can be publicly disseminated immediately. For the protected data version of the final technical report, the report must cover the entire project period of performance, include the proper data protection marking (included in the terms of the award), and place that marking on the cover page of the final technical report before submitting it to E-Link. The “STI Product Type” of “Technical Report” with the “Report Sub Type” of “Final Technical Report” must be selected. The recipient must also select the block in the Intellectual Property/Distribution Limitation section of the DOE AN 241.3 as “Protected Data” and provide a release date for the technical report when submitting the final technical report. The release date is the date the technical report will become publicly available. The release date must be based on the data protection period authorized by the award. The release date must coincide with the data marking on the technical report.
