There may also be postage costs and 

recordkeeping costs associated with this 

collection. The USPTO expects that 

approximately 50 percent of the 

responses for this collection will be 

submitted by mail and 50 percent will 

be submitted electronically. The USPTO 

estimates that the postage cost for a 

mailed submission will be from 44 cents 

to $4.95, depending on the size of the 

submission, and that approximately 

2,558 mailed submissions will be 

received per year, for a total postage cost 

of approximately $8,565 per year. 

When submitting the information in 

this collection to the USPTO 

electronically, the applicant is strongly 

urged to retain a copy of the 

acknowledgment receipt as evidence 

that the submission was received by the 

USPTO on the date noted. The USPTO 

estimates that it will take 5 seconds 

(0.001 hours) to print and retain a copy 

of the acknowledgment receipt and that 

approximately 2,566 responses per year 

will be submitted electronically, for a 

total of approximately 3 hours per year 

for printing this receipt. Using the 

paraprofessional rate of $100 per hour, 

the USPTO estimates that the 

recordkeeping cost associated with this 

collection will be approximately $300 

per year. 

The total non-hour respondent cost 

burden for this collection in the form of 

filing fees, postage costs, and 

recordkeeping costs is approximately 

$5,577,265 per year. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

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 

agency’s estimate of the burden
