SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Johnson’s seagrass, H. johnsonii, is a

marine plant species found growing

along approximately 200 km of coastline

in southeastern Florida between

Sebastian Inlet and north Biscayne Bay.

It is listed as threatened under the

Endangered Species Act (ESA). H.

johnsonii is the first marine plant to be

listed under the ESA. The ESA requires

NMFS to develop and implement

recovery plans for most species.

The draft recovery plan contains a

synopsis of the biology and distribution

of Johnson’s seagrass, a description of

factors affecting species recovery, an

outline of actions needed to recover the

species, and an implementation

schedule for completing the recovery

tasks.

Public Comments Solicited

NMFS intends that the final recovery

plan will take advantage of information

and recommendations from all

interested parties. Therefore, comments

and suggestions are solicited from the

public, other concerned governmental

agencies, the scientific community,

industry, and any other person

interested in the development of the

recovery plan.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1531–1543 et seq.

Office

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The United States Patent and

Trademark Office (USPTO) has

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Agency:United States Patent and

Trademark Office (USPTO).

Title: Patent Processing (Updating)

(Proposed Additions of Request for

Continued Examination and

Reconstruction of Unlocatable

Application and Patent Files).

Form Numbers: PTO/SB/30.

Agency Approval Number: 0651–

0031.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 1,018,736 hours.

Number of Respondents: 2,231,365

respondents.

Avg. Hours Per Response: The USPTO

estimates that it will take the public 12

minutes to gather, prepare, and submit

a request for continued examination.

The USPTO estimates that it will take

the public one hour to gather, prepare,

and submit a copy of the applicant’s

record of the application or patent file.

Needs and Uses: This collection of

information is required by 35 U.S.C.

132, which has been amended by the

‘‘American Inventors Protection Act of

1999.’’ Specifically, the ‘‘American

Inventors Protection Act of 1999’’

amends U.S.C. 132 to provide that the

USPTO may prescribe regulations for

the continued examination of

applications (for a fee) at the request of

the applicant. The USPTO has created a

form for these requests which applicants

can submit instead of filing a continued

prosecution application. The USPTO

uses these forms to process and initiate

continued examination of a previously

submitted application. In addition, the

USPTO is publishing an interim rule

associated with this information

collection that allows the USPTO to

request a copy of the record of the

correspondence between the USPTO

and the applicant or patentee in order

to reconstruct application or patent files

that are misplaced and cannot be found

after a diligent search. Reconstructing

the misplaced application or patent file

allows the USPTO to continue

prosecuting a patent application. If

applicants do not respond to the USPTO

39370 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 123 / Monday, June 26, 2000 / Notices

in a timely manner with either the

correspondence or copies of the

correspondence, the USPTO will

abandon the patent application.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households, businesses or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, farms,

Federal Government, and State, local or

tribal governments.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

obtain or retain benefits.

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

The United States Patent and

Trademark Office (USPTO) has

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for clearance the

following proposal for collection of

information under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35).

Agency: United States Patent and

Trademark Office (USPTO).

Title: Initial Patent Application.

Form Numbers: PTO/SB/01/01A/02A/

02B/02C/03/03A/04/05/06/07/13PCT/

17/18/19/29/29A/101/102/103/104/105/

106/107/108/109/110.

Agency Approval Number: 0651–

0032.

Type of Request: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Burden: 2,990,260 hours.

Number of Respondents: 344,100

responses.

Avg. Hours Per Response: The PTO

estimates that it takes an average of 24

minutes to gather, prepare, and submit

a continued prosecution application.

This is in contrast to the 12 minutes that

the USPTO estimates that it will take

the public to gather, prepare, and

submit a request for continued

examination. The USPTO estimates that

approximately 10,000 of the 25,000

continued prosecution applications will

be filed as requests for continued

examination. The estimated use of the

request for continued examination will

decrease the burden associated with this

information collection. The USPTO

estimates that it takes an average of 8.0

hours to complete the specification,

claim, drawing, and cover sheet

required for a provisional application,

and that it takes an average of 10.8

hours to complete the specification,

claim, drawing, declaration, and

transmittal forms required for a

nonprovisional utility, plant or design

application. If applicants choose to

submit their patent application using

the application data sheet, the USPTO

estimates that it will take an average of

10.6 hours to complete the application

using either the paper or electronic

format, unless it is the first time that the

applicant is using the PrintEFS format.

If that is the case, the USPTO estimates

that it will take an average of 11.3 hours

to complete the application. This takes

into account the time that the USPTO

estimates it will take the applicant to

download and install the viewer that is

necessary to use the electronic template.

Continuing applications require varying

burden hours, based on how much

information must be added to or

duplicated from the initial application.

In the case of continuation requests for

international applications, the entire

application must be provided because it

had not been submitted previously as a

national application.

Needs and Uses: This collection of

information is required by 35 U.S.C.

§§ 131 and 37 CFR 1.16 through 1.84.

The public uses the forms in this

information collection to submit the

information necessary for a new utility,

design, or plant applications. This

includes such information as the

declaration, fee transmittal sheets, and

the bibliographic data. The USPTO uses

the information collected through this

information collection to review and

issue new utility, design, and plant

applications and to process requests for

continuation or provisional

applications.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households, businesses or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, farms,

Federal government, and state, local or

tribal government.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to

obtain or retain benefits.
