can involve either a Federal or State 

fishery. Buybacks can be funded via a 

long-term loan from the Federal 

government to the fishery (industryfunded buybacks), to be repaid by the 

industry by post-buyback landing fees, 

or funded from appropriations (nonindustry funded) or other non-loan 

sources of funds. Programs involving 

industry-financed loans are authorized 

by section 1111 of title XI of the 

Merchant Marine Act, 1936. 

NOAA National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) established programs to 

reduce excess fishing capacity by paying 

fishermen to surrender their vessels/ 

permits. The information collected by 

NMFS involves the submission of 

buyback requests by industry, 

submission of bids, referenda of fishery 

participants and reporting of collection 

of fees to repay buyback loans. For 

buybacks involving State-managed 

fisheries, the State may be involved in 

developing the buyback plan and 

complying with other information 

requirements. NMFS requests 

information from participating buyback 

participants to track repayments of the 

loans as well as ensure accurate 

management and monitoring of the 

loans. The fees for recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements at 50 CFR parts 

600.1013 through 600.1017 form the 

basis for the collection of information. 

Information collections associated 

with loan creation were removed from 

the 2021 renewal because no new loans 

are anticipated moving forward, but the 

Federal Register notice published on 

May 14, 2024 (89 FR 41947) included 

the burden for these removed activities. 

That error has been corrected in this 

notice. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Frequency: Monthly and annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain or Retain Benefits.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Trademark Petitions 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit 

the following information collection 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the 

date of publication of this notice. The 

USPTO invites comments on this 

information collection renewal, which 

helps the USPTO assess the impact of 

its information collection requirements 

and minimize the public’s reporting 

burden. Public comments were 

previously requested via the Federal 

Register on July 10, 2024 during a 60- 

day comment period (89 FR 56739). 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comment. 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

Title: Trademark Petitions. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0061. 

Needs and Uses: The United States 

Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) 

administers the Trademark Act (Act), 15 

U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for 

the registration of trademarks, service 

marks, collective membership marks, 

and certification marks. Individuals and 

businesses that use or intend to use 

such marks in commerce may file an 

application to register their marks with 

the USPTO. 

This information collection covers 

various trademark-related 

communications to the USPTO, 

including letters of protest, requests to 

make special, responses to petition 

inquiry letters, petitions to make 

special, requests to restore a filing date, 

and requests for reinstatement. This 

information collection also incorporates 

petitions for ex parte expungement or 

reexamination (PTO–2312). Ex parte 

expungement and reexamination 

proceedings were established by the 

Trademark Modernization Act of 2020 

(TMA), Public Law 116–260 (Dec. 27, 

2020), to cancel, either in whole or in 

part, registered marks for which the 

required use in commerce was not 

made. The burden estimate for petitions 

for ex parte expungement or 

reexamination was previously contained 

in OMB Control No. 0651–0086, 

Changes to Implement Provisions of the 

Trademark Modernization Act, but is 

being transferred into this information 

collection for efficiency. Finally, this 

information collection consolidates into 

a single burden estimate the burden for 

responses to petition inquiry letters 

(PTO–2305), which was previously 

reflected in both OMB Control No. 

0651–0086 and this information 

collection. 

The information covered in this 

collection is used by the public for a 

variety of private business purposes 

related to establishing and enforcing 

trademark rights. Information relating to 

the registration of a trademark is made 

available to the public by the USPTO. 

However, the release of information in 

a letter of protest is controlled and may 

be available only upon request. 

Forms: 

• PTO–2303 (Letter of Protest) 

• PTO–2304 (Request to Make Special) 

• PTO–2305 (Response to Petition to 

Director Inquiry Letter) 

• PTO–2306 (Petition to Make Special) 

• PTO–2307 (Request to Restore Filing 

Date) 

• PTO–2308 (Request for 

Reinstatement) 

• PTO–2312 (Petition for Expungement 

or Reexamination Form) 

Type of Review: Extension and 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Affected Public: Private sector. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 5,813 respondents. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 5,813 responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

USPTO estimates that the responses in 

this information collection will take the 

public approximately between 40 

minutes (0.67 hours) and 4.5 hours to 

complete. This includes the time to 

gather the necessary information, create 

the document, and submit the 

completed request to the USPTO. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Burden Hours: 7,893 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Non-hourly Cost Burden: $313,260.
