SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The NMFS Southeast Region manages 

the U.S. fisheries in the exclusive 

economic zone of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic regions 

under multiple fishery management 

plans (FMPs). The regional fishery 

management councils prepare the FMPs 

pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). NMFS 

implements the regulations for the 

FMPs, which are located at 50 CFR part 

622. 

The recordkeeping and reporting 

regulations located at 50 CFR part 622 

form the basis for the information 

collection requirements that are 

currently approved under OMB Control 

Number 0648–0358. NMFS proposes to 

extend the information collections 

under 0648–0358 without change. 

Regulations at 50 CFR part 622 require 

that all federally permitted fishing 

vessels must be marked with the official 

identification number or some other 

form of identification. A vessel’s official 

number, under most regulations, must 

be displayed on the port and starboard 

sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on 

the weather deck. In addition, 

regulations for certain fisheries also 

require the display of the assigned color 

code for the vessel. The official number 

and color code identify each vessel and 

should be visible at distance from the 

sea and in the air. These markings 

provide law enforcement personnel 

with a means to monitor fishing, at-sea 

processing, and other related activities, 

as well as to ascertain whether the 

vessel’s observed activities are in 

accordance with those authorized for 

that vessel. The identifying official 

number is used by NMFS, the United 

States Coast Guard, and other marine 

agencies in issuing violations, 

prosecutions, and other enforcement 

actions. Vessels that are authorized for 

particular fisheries are readily 

identified, gear violations are more 

readily prosecuted, and this allows for 

more cost-effective enforcement. 

In addition to vessel marking, 

requirements that fishing gear be 

marked are essential to facilitate 

enforcement. The ability to link fishing 

gear to the vessel owner is crucial to 

enforcement of regulations issued under 

the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 


tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 32 / Friday, February 19, 2021 / Notices 10251 

Act. The marking of fishing gear is also 

valuable in actions concerning damage, 

loss, and civil proceedings. The 

requirements imposed in the U.S. 

southeast region are for aquacultured 

live rock; golden crab traps; spiny 

lobster traps; black sea bass pots; 

Spanish mackerel gillnets; and buoy 

gear. 

II. Method of Collection 

Markings, such as numbers, are 

placed directly on fishing vessels and 

gear. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0358. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

Estimated Time per Response: Vessel 

marking: 75 minutes. Gear marking: 

Aquacultured live rocks, 10 seconds 

each; golden crab traps, 2 minutes each; 

spiny lobster traps, 7 minutes each; sea 

bass pots, 16 minutes each; and Spanish 

mackerel gillnets, 20 minutes each; and 

buoy gear, 10 minutes each. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 51,070. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $673,277 in recordkeeping and

[Docket No.: PTO–P–2021–0009] 

Grant of Interim Extension of the Term 

of U.S. Patent No. 7,534,790; 

Vernakalant Hydrochloride 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of interim patent term 

extension. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office has issued an order 

granting interim extension for a oneyear interim extension of the term of 

U.S. Patent No. 7,534,790. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Raul 

Tamayo by telephone at 571–272–7728; 

by mail marked to his attention and 

addressed to the Commissioner for 

Patents, Mail Stop Hatch-Waxman PTE, 

P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313– 

1450; by fax marked to his attention at 

571–273–7728; or by email to 

raul.tamayo@uspto.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

156 of Title 35, United States Code, 

generally provides that the term of a 

patent may be extended for a period of 

up to five years if the patent claims a 

product, or a method of making or using 

a product, that has been subject to 

certain defined regulatory review, and 

that the patent may be extended for 

interim periods of up to one year if the 

regulatory review is anticipated to 

extend beyond the expiration date of the 

patent. On February 9, 2021, Correvio 

International Sa`rl, the patent owner of 

record, timely filed an application 

under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a third 

interim extension of the term of U.S. 

Patent No. 7,534,790. The patent claims 

the human drug product vernakalant 

hydrochloride. The application for 

patent term extension indicates that 

New Drug Application (NDA) 22–034 

was submitted to the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) on December 19, 

2006. 

Review of the patent term extension 

application indicates that, except for 

permission to market or use the product 

commercially, the subject patent would 

be eligible for an extension of the patent 

term under 35 U.S.C. 156, and that the 

patent should be extended for one year 

as required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). 

Because the regulatory review period 

will continue beyond the twiceextended expiration date of the patent, 

March 31, 2021, interim extension of the 

patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is 

appropriate. 

An interim extension under 35 U.S.C. 

156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. Patent No. 

7,534,790 is granted for a period of one 

year from the extended expiration date 

of the patent.
