Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 22, 2011 / Notices 72179 

Needs and Uses: Under Section 5 of 

the Fastener Quality Act of 1999 (FQA), 

15 U.S.C. 5401 et seq., certain industrial 

fasteners must bear an insignia 

identifying the manufacturer. It is also 

mandatory for manufacturers of 

fasteners covered by the FQA to submit 

an application to the USPTO for 

recordal of the insignia on the Fastener 

Insignia Register. 

The procedures for the recordal of 

fastener insignia under the FQA are set 

forth in 15 CFR 280.300 et seq. The 

purpose of requiring both the insignia 

and the recordation is to ensure that 

certain fasteners can be traced to their 

manufacturers and to protect against the 

sale of mismarked, misrepresented, or 

counterfeit fasteners. 

The public uses this information 

collection to comply with the insignia 

recordal provisions of the FQA. An 

applicant may choose to use either the 

Application for Recordal of Insignia or 

Renewal/Reactivation of Recordal 

Under the Fastener Quality Act (PTO– 

1611) or prepare requests for recordal 

using a separate document that includes 

the information required by 15 CFR 

280.310(b)(1)–(8). 

The USPTO uses the information in 

this collection to record, renew, or 

reactivate insignias under the FAQ and 

to maintain the Fastener Insignia 

Register, which is open to public 

inspection. The public may download 

the Fastener Insignia Register from the 

USPTO Web site. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
