69894 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 230 / Wednesday, December 1, 2004 / Notices 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 3 hours annually. 

Number of Respondents: 15 responses 

per year. 

Avg. Hours Per Response: The USPTO 

estimates that a federally- or staterecognized Native American tribe will 

require an average of 10 to 12 minutes 

(0.17 to 0.20 hours) to complete a 

request to record an official insignia, 

including gathering the information, 

preparing the appropriate documents, 

and submitting the completed request. 

Needs and Uses: The Trademark Law 

Treaty Implementation Act (Pub. L. 

105–330, section 302, 112 Stat. 3071 

(1998)) required the USPTO to study 

issues surrounding the protection of the 

official insignia of federally- and staterecognized Native American tribes 

under trademark law. At the direction of 

Congress, the USPTO created a database 

containing the official insignia of 

recognized Native American tribes. The 

insignia database serves as a reference 

for examining attorneys when 

determining the registrability of a mark 

that may be similar to the official 

insignia of a Native American tribe. The 

entry of an official insignia into the 

database does not confer any rights to 

the tribe that submitted the insignia, 

and entry is not the legal equivalent of 

registering the insignia as a trademark 

under 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq. This 

information collection is used by the 

USPTO to enter an official insignia 

submitted by a federally- or staterecognized Native American tribe into 

the database. There are no forms 

associated with this collection. 

Affected Public: Tribal governments. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
