Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 209 / Monday, October 29, 2012 / Notices 65539 

exceed 100 pages. (See 37 CFR 1.52(f).) 

Under 37 CFR 1.16(s) and 1.492(j) for 

U.S. applications and international 

applications entering the U.S. national 

stage, respectively, if the application, 

including the sequence listings filed on 

paper or on a non-compliant electronic 

medium, exceeds 100 pages, the 

application size fee is $320 (or $160 for 

small entities) for each additional 50 

pages or fraction thereof. The USPTO 

estimates that approximately 250 

applications from large entities with 

long sequence listings filed on paper or 

on a non-compliant electronic medium 

will incur an average application size 

fee of $960, and approximately 200 

applications from small entities with 

long sequence listings filed on paper or 

on a non-compliant electronic medium 

will incur an average application size 

fee of $480, for a total of $336,000 per 

year. 

As a Receiving Office, the USPTO 

collects the international filing fee for 

each international application it 

receives. The basic international filing 

fee only covers the first 30 pages of the 

international application. As a result, a 

$16 fee per page is added to the 

international filing fee for each page 

over 30 pages of an international 

application including a sequence listing 

filed on paper or in PDF format. No page 

fees are triggered by sequence listings 

that are submitted via EFS-Web in the 

proper text format. The average length 

of a sequence listing filed on paper or 

in PDF format in an international 

application is 150 pages, which would 

carry an additional fee of $2,400 if the 

international application were already 

at least 30 pages long without the 

listing. The USPTO estimates that 

approximately 900 of the 8,500 

sequence listings filed per year on paper 

or in PDF format will be for 

international applications, for a total of 

$2,160,000 per year in page fees. 

Therefore, this collection has a total of 

$2,496,000 in fees per year. 

Customers may incur postage costs 

when submitting a sequence listing to 

the USPTO by mail. Mailed submissions 

may include the sequence listing on 

either paper or CD, the CRF copy of the 

listing on CD, and a transmittal letter 

containing the required identifying 

information. The USPTO estimates that 

the average postage cost for a paper or 

CD sequence listing submission will be 

$5.15 and that 9,000 sequence listings 

will be mailed to the USPTO per year, 

for a total postage cost of $46,350 per 

year. 

The total annual (non-hour) 

respondent cost burden for this 

collection in the form of fees and 

postage costs is estimated to be 

$2,542,350 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 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, e.g., the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
