Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 1 / Friday, January 2, 2015 / Notices 33 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Cost Burden: $129,131. The USPTO 

expects that 70% of the submissions for 

this collection will be prepared by 

paraprofessionals, 15% by attorneys, 

and 15% by independent inventors. 

Using those proportions and the 

estimated rates of $122 per hour for 

paraprofessionals, $325 per hour for 

attorneys in private firms, and $30 per 

hour for independent inventors, the 

USPTO estimates that the average rate 

for those respondents will be 

approximately $139 per hour. Therefore, 

the estimated total respondent cost 

burden for this collection will be 

approximately $129,131 per year.

Estimated Total Annual Non-hour 

Respondent Cost Burden: $4,531. There 

are no capital start-up costs, 

maintenance costs, or fees associated 

with this information collection. 

However, this collection does have 

annual (non-hour) cost burden 

associated with the Certificate Action 

Form. 

This collection has costs due to the 

notarization requirement for 

authenticating the signatures on the 

Certificate Action Form. The USPTO 

estimates that the average fee for having 

a signature notarized is $2 and that 

1,857 responses for these forms will be 

submitted annually, for a total cost of 

$3,714 per year. 

This collection also has postage costs 

for submitting the Certificate Action 

Form to the USPTO by mail. The form 

cannot be faxed or submitted 

electronically because it requires an 

original notarized signature. The 

USPTO estimates that the first class 

postage cost for these forms will be 44 

cents and that it will receive 1,857 

mailed responses annually, for a total 

postage cost of approximately $817 per 

year. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

(including hours and cost) of the

other compliance requirements for small 

entities other than the small

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

products to the Government.
