[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.

COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL 

QUALITY 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Guidance on Consideration of 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions 

AGENCY: Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ). 

ACTION: Notice of rescission of draft 

guidance. 

SUMMARY: The Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) is 

rescinding its ‘‘Draft National 

Environmental Policy Act Guidance on 

Consideration of Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions’’ consistent with Executive 

Order (E.O.) 13990, ‘‘Protecting Public 

Health and the Environment and 

Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate 

Crisis.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jomar Maldonado, Associate Director for 

the National Environmental Policy Act, 

730 Jackson Place NW, Washington, DC 

20503, jomar.maldonadovazquez@

ceq.eop.gov or (202) 395–5750. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., 

sets forth a national environmental 

policy to harmonize environmental, 

economic, and social goals, and is a 

cornerstone of the Nation’s efforts to 

protect the environment. See 42 U.S.C. 

4321, 4331. NEPA also created the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), 42 U.S.C. 4342, which oversees 

its implementation. NEPA requires 

Federal agencies to consider the 

environmental effects of its proposed 

actions and involve the public in its 

decision-making processes. CEQ’s NEPA 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR 

parts 1500 through 1508 set forth the 

procedures for agencies to comply with 

NEPA. Additionally, CEQ issues 

guidance to agencies on how to fulfil 

NEPA’s mandates. See 40 CFR 1506.7. 

Many projects and programs 

proposed, funded, or approved by 

Federal agencies have the potential to 

emit or sequester greenhouse gases 

(GHGs), and may be affected by climate 

change. Federal courts consistently have 

held that NEPA requires agencies to 

disclose and consider climate impacts 

in their reviews. See, e.g., Ctr. for 

Biological Diversity v. Nat’l Highway 

Traffic Safety Admin., 538 F.3d 1172 

(9th Cir. 2008). On March 31, 2016, CEQ 

issued ‘‘Final Guidance for Federal 

Departments and Agencies on 

Consideration of Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions and the Effects of Climate 

Change in National Environmental 

Policy Act Reviews’’ (2016 GHG 

Guidance) to help agencies with this 

requirement. 81 FR 51866 (Aug. 5, 

2016). 

E.O. 13873, ‘‘Promoting Energy 

Independence and Economic Growth,’’ 

directed CEQ to withdraw this 

guidance. E.O. 13783, 82 FR 16093 

(Mar. 31, 2017). CEQ withdrew the 

guidance on April 5, 2017. 82 FR 16576. 

CEQ then proposed for public comment, 

but never finalized, ‘‘Draft National 

Environmental Policy Act Guidance on 

Consideration of Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions’’ (2019 Draft GHG Guidance). 

84 FR 30097 (June 26, 2019), RIN 0331– 

ZA03. 

On January 20, 2021, President Biden 

issued E.O. 13990, ‘‘Protecting Public 

Health and the Environment and 

Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate 

Crisis,’’ to establish a national policy ‘‘to 

empower our workers and communities; 

promote and protect our public health 

and the environment; and conserve our 

national treasures and monuments, 

places that secure our national 

memory.’’ 86 FR 7037 (Jan. 25, 2021). 

Section 7(e) directs CEQ to rescind the 

2019 Draft GHG Guidance and review, 

revise, and update its 2016 GHG 

Guidance. In accordance with this E.O., 

CEQ is rescinding the 2019 Draft GHG 

Guidance. The withdrawal of this 

guidance does not change any law, 

regulation, or other legally binding 

requirement. CEQ will address in a 

separate notice its review of and any 

appropriate revisions and updates to the 

2016 GHG Guidance. In the interim, 

agencies should consider all available 

tools and resources in assessing GHG 

emissions and climate change effects of 

their proposed actions, including, as 

appropriate and relevant, the 2016 GHG 

Guidance. For more information on 

NEPA and Federal agency compliance 

with NEPA, please see nepa.gov.
