Fisheries Off West Coast States and in 

the Western Pacific; Western Pacific 

Pelagic Fisheries; Public Hearing on 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of public hearing.

SUMMARY: The Pacific Islands Regional 

Office of NMFS, in coordination with 

the Western Pacific Fishery 

Management Council, will hold a public 

hearing in Honolulu, HI, to receive 

comments on a draft environmental 

impact statement (DEIS) for 

management measures being considered 

for the domestic pelagic fisheries in the 

Pacific Ocean. The DEIS describes and 

assesses the likely environmental 

impacts of a range of alternatives for two 

fishery management actions. The first 

action is aimed at cost-effectively 

reducing the potentially harmful effects 

of fishing by Hawaii-based longline 

vessels on seabirds. The second is 

aimed at establishing an effective 

management framework for pelagic 

squid fisheries in the Pacific, including 

fishing activities within the exclusive 

economic zone of the U.S. and on the 

high seas. The first action would be 

taken through the Fishery Management 

Plan for the Pelagic Fisheries of the 

Western Pacific Region (FMP), under 

the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act. The second action would be taken 

both through the FMP and under the 

authority of the High Seas Fishing 

Compliance Act.

DATES: Public hearings will be held as 

follows: Wednesday, October 6, 2004, 

from 5 to 7 p.m., on Hawaii Island in 

Hilo, HI; Thursday, October 7, 2004, 

from 6 to 8 p.m., on Oahu Island in 

Honolulu, HI; and Friday, October 8, 

2004, on Kauai Island in Lihue, HI. All

Patent and Trademark Office 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO). 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Title: Trademark Processing 

(proposed addition of seven new TEAS 

Forms). 

Form Number(s): PTO Forms 2194, 

2195, 2196, 2197, 2200, 2201, and 2202. 

These forms will be added to those that 

are currently approved for this 

collection: PTO Form 4.8, 4.9, 4.16, 

1478, 1478(a), 1553, 1581, 1583, 1963, 

2000, and PTO/TM/4.16 and 1583. 

Agency Approval Number: 0651–

0009. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 154,483 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 762,701 

responses. 

Avg. Hours Per Response:

Approximately 3 to 12 minutes, 

depending on the form. The USPTO 

estimates that it takes approximately 3 

minutes (0.05 hours) to complete the 

requests for deletion of the § 1(b) basis 

from an intent to use application, the 

change of owner’s address form, and the 

express abandonment of the application 

and submit them electronically through 

the Trademark Electronic Application 

System (TEAS). The USPTO estimates 

that it takes approximately 5 minutes 

(0.08 hours) to complete the petitions to 

revive and the revocation and 

appointment of attorneys, and 12 

minutes (0.20 hours) to complete the 

withdrawals as the attorney of record 

and submit them electronically through 

TEAS. The USPTO estimates that it 

takes 6 minutes (0.10 hours) to complete 

the revocation and appointment of 

attorney, and 12 minutes (0.20 hours) to 

complete the petitions to revive and 

mail them to the USPTO. This includes 

the time to gather the necessary 

information, prepare the petitions, 

requests, and other associated forms, 

and submit them to the USPTO. 

Needs and Uses: The USPTO is 

developing seven forms that will allow 

applicants to submit certain petitions, 

requests, revocations, and change of 

address forms electronically through 

TEAS. When the USPTO deploys these 

forms, applicants will be able to petition 

the USPTO to revive an abandoned 

application; to appoint or revoke a 

power of attorney; to request that the 

USPTO delete a § 1(b) filing basis from 

an intent to use application; to request 

permission to withdraw as the attorney 

of record; and to request the withdrawal 

of an application. Applicants and
