DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Patent and Trademark Office 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

Review and Approval; Comment 

Request; Trademark Post Registration 

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 25, 2024 during a 60- 

day comment period (89 FR 60405). 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comment. 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

Title: Trademark Post Registration. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0055. 

Needs and Uses: The United States 

Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) 

administers the Trademark Act (Act), 15 

U.S.C. 1501 et seq., which provides for 

the federal registration of trademarks, 

service marks, collective trademarks and 

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 communications submitted by 

individuals and businesses to the 

USPTO after the registration of a 

trademark. One type of communication 

is a request to amend a registration to 

delete goods or services that are no 

longer being used by the owner. 

Registered marks remain on the register 

for 10 years and can be renewed, but 

will be cancelled unless the owner files 

with the USPTO a declaration attesting 

to the continued use (or excusable nonuse) of the mark in commerce, and a 

renewal application, with specific 

deadlines. Owners may also request to 

amend or divide a registration, respond 

to a post-registration office action, and 

surrender a registration. 

The regulations implementing the Act 

are set forth in 37 CFR part 2. These 

regulations mandate that each register 

entry include the mark, the goods and/ 

or services in connection with which 

the mark is used, ownership 

information, dates of use, and certain 

other information. The information in 

this information collection is used to 

maintain the quality of the trademark 

register. The register may be accessed by 

an individual or by businesses to 

determine the availability of a mark. By 

keeping the register current and 

accurate, parties may reduce the 

possibility of initiating use of a mark 

previously adopted by another. 

This information collection also 

incorporates responses to office actions 

related to ex parte expungements and 

reexaminations and Director-initiated 

expungements and reexaminations 

(accounted for under Reponses to Office 

Actions for Post-Registration Matters 

(PTO–2302). 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 estimates for responses to office 

actions regarding ex parte 

expungements or reexaminations and 

Director-initiated expungements and 

reexaminations were previously 

contained in OMB Control No. 0651– 

0086 (Changes to Implement Provisions 

of the Trademark Modernization Act), 

but are being transferred into this 

information collection for efficiency. All 

the burdens associated with responses 

to office actions from 0651–0086 are 

now being accounted for under IC No. 

7 (Response to Office Action for PostRegistration Matters) in this information 

collection. The 60-day notice, published 

for this information collection, already 

accounted for the burdens being 

transferred.

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Finding of No Significant Impact and 

Final Environmental Assessment for 

DARPA’s Reefense Program, Baker 

Point, Florida 

AGENCY: Defense Advanced Research 

Projects Agency (DARPA), Department 

of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: DARPA announces the 

availability of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) and a Final 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

Reefense Program at Baker Point, 

Florida. The environmental review 

process led to the conclusion that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. Therefore, an 

Environmental Impact Statement will 

not be prepared. 

ADDRESSES: The Final EA and FONSI 

are available online through the project 

website at https://hsrl.rutgers.edu/ 

research/darpa-reefense. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Catherine Campbell, 703–526–2044 

(Voice), Catherine.Campbell@darpa.mil 

(Email). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notification of the availability of the 

Draft EA was published in the Federal 

Register (89 FR 37184) on May 6, 2024. 

The public review period began on May 

6, 2024 and concluded on June 5, 2024. 

Legal notices were published in the 

Panama City News Herald on May 9 and 

May 12, 2024. DARPA received two 

comments: one from a private 

individual and one from the 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 4. Comments received during 

this public review were considered 

when preparing the Final EA. DARPA’s 

proposed action analyzed in the EA is 

for the installation of bio-hybrid oyster 

reef structures to test whether such 

structures can attenuate wave energy 

more effectively than traditional 

hardscape solutions to protect coastal 

shorelines and infrastructure. 

Components would consist of reef 

module breakwaters, mosaic oyster 

habitat structures, and intertidal 

vegetation planting. These structures, or 

modules, created using cutting-edge 

scientific advances, are intended to 

create a self-sustaining oyster reef to 

attenuate wave energy and, thus, protect 

upland infrastructure by mitigating 

damage related to coastal flooding, 

erosion, and storm surge. The 

geographic scope analyzed in the EA is 

a proposed action area of approximately 

one acre located off the coast of Baker 

Point, Florida that is adjacent to Tyndall 

Air Force Base and within East Bay of 

the St. Andrew Bay estuary. The 

analysis within the EA yielded no 

significant impacts to the resources 

analyzed and would not result in 

significant impacts overall. The EA and 

FONSI were prepared in accordance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, as amended (42 United 

States Code 4321 et seq.) and Council on 

Environmental Quality implementing 

regulations (40 Code of Federal 

Regulations parts 1500–1508). 

Dated: October 16, 2024.
