Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 117 / Monday, June 18, 2018 / Notices 28205 

enrolled property to baseline conditions 

at the end of the Agreement, as defined 

in the Agreement. The Agreement 

specifies the beneficial management 

activities to be carried out on the 

enrolled property, and schedule for 

implementing those activities. The 

Agreement is expected to promote the 

recovery of CCC coho salmon and CCC 

steelhead within the Applicant’s 

Kellogg Ranch. 

The Agreement requires that the 

Applicant maintain baseline condition 

for the covered species habitat on the 

enrolled property. NMFS has reviewed 

the baseline condition for the enrolled 

property as it is defined in the 

Agreement. The Agreement also 

contains a monitoring component that 

requires the Applicant to ensure 

compliance with the terms and 

conditions of the Agreement, and that 

the baseline levels of habitat for the 

covered species occurs on the enrolled 

property. Results of the monitoring 

efforts will be provided to NMFS by the 

Applicant in an annual report for the 

duration of the 25-year permit term. 

Upon approval of this Agreement, and 

consistent with the NMFS’s Safe Harbor 

Policy, NMFS will issue an 

Enhancement of Survival Permit to the 

Applicant. The Enhancement of 

Survival Permit will authorize the 

Applicant to take CCC coho salmon and 

CCC steelhead incidental to the 

implementation of the covered activities 

specified in the Agreement, incidental 

to other lawful uses of the enrolled 

property, and to return to baseline 

conditions if desired at the end of the 

Agreement. In addition to meeting other 

criteria, actions to be performed under 

the Enhancement of Survival Permit 

must not jeopardize the existence of 

Federally listed species. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the application, associated 

documents, and comments submitted to 

determine whether the application 

meets the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the ESA and Federal regulations. The 

final permit decision will not be made 

until after the end of the 30-day 

comment period. NMFS will publish 

notice of its final action in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) is required 

by 35 U.S.C. 131 to examine an 

application for patent and, when 

appropriate, issue a patent. The 

provisions of 35 U.S.C. 301 and 37 CFR 

1.501 govern the ability of a person to 

submit into the file of an issued patent 

(1) prior art consisting of patents or 

printed publications which the person 

making the submission believes to have 

a bearing on the patentability of any 

claim of the issued patent and (2) 

statements of the owner of the issued 

patent filed in a proceeding before a 

Federal court or the USPTO in which 

the owner of the issued patent took a 

position on the scope of any claim of the 

issued patent. 

The public may use this information 

collection to aid in ascertaining the 

patentability and/or scope of the claims 

of the issued patent. The USPTO may 

use this information during subsequent 

reissue or reexamination proceedings. 

The USPTO’s use of the statements of 

the patent owners ((2) above) will be 

limited to determining the meaning of a 

patent claim in ex parte reexamination 

proceedings that already have been 

ordered and in inter partes review and 

post grant review proceedings that 

already have been instituted. 

II. Method of Collection 

Electronically via the USPTO’s 

electronic filing system (EFS–Web). By 

facsimile, mail or hand delivery, if the 

submitter chooses to submit the 

information in paper form.

operating costs, or filing fees associated 

with this information collection. 

There are postage costs associated 

with this information collection. 

Customers may incur postage costs 

when submitting the information in this 

collection to the USPTO by mail. The 

USPTO expects that approximately 98 

percent of the responses in this 

collection will be submitted 

electronically via the USPTO’s 

electronic filing system (EFS–Web). The 

USPTO is estimating that all of the 

submissions in this collection that are 

not submitted electronically will be 

submitted by mail, for a total of 2 

mailed submissions. The average first 

clast postage cost for a one-pound 

mailed submission in a flat rate 

envelope will be $5.75, and the USPTO 

is estimating that none of the mailed 

submissions will exceed one pound. 

Therefore, the USPTO estimates that the 

postage costs for the mailed submissions 

in this collection will be $11.50.
