NMFS’ evaluation is available on the 

Sustainable Fisheries Division Web site 

at http://

www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/. 

Summary of Comments Received in 

Response to the Proposed Evaluation 

and Pending Determination 

NMFS published notice of its 

proposed evaluation and pending 

determination on the RMP for public 

review and comment on August 5, 2014 

(79 FR 45426). The proposed evaluation 

and pending determination and an 

associated draft environmental 

assessment were available for public 

review and comment for 30 days. 

NMFS received no comments in 

response to the notice. However, NMFS 

did receive comments from one 

environmental group pertaining to the 

proposed evaluation and pending 

determination on the RMP in response 

to a prior, separate notice published to 

announce availability for public review 

of NMFS’s draft Supplemental 

Environmental Assessment for the RMP 

(79 FR 35318, June 20, 2014). NMFS 

considered these comments in 

completing the final Evaluation and 

Recommended Determination 

document, but no substantive changes 

were required to the RMP. A detailed 

summary of the comments and NMFS’ 

responses is also available on the 

Sustainable Fisheries Division Web site. 

Based on its evaluation and 

recommended determination and taking 

into account the public comments, 

NMFS issued its final determination on 

the Elwha River basin salmon and 

steelhead hatchery RMP. 

Authority 

Under section 4 of the ESA, the 

Secretary of Commerce is required to 

adopt such regulations as he deems 

necessary and advisable for the 

conservation of species listed as 

threatened. The ESA salmon and 

steelhead 4(d) Rule (65 FR 42422, July 

10, 2000) specifies categories of 

activities that contribute to the 

conservation of listed salmonids and 

sets out the criteria for such activities. 

The Rule further provides that the 

prohibitions of paragraph (a) of the Rule 

do not apply to actions undertaken in 

compliance with a RMP developed 

jointly by the State of Washington and 

the Tribe and determined by NMFS to 

be in accordance with the salmon and 

steelhead 4(d) Rule (65 FR 42422, July 

10, 2000).

Comment Request; Fastener Quality 

Act Insignia Recordal Process 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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, Commerce. 

Title: Fastener Quality Act Insignia 

Recordal Process.

Form Number(s): 

• PTO–1611. 

Type of Request: Regular. 

Number of Respondents: 82. 

Average Hours per Response: 0.25. 

Burden Hours: 20.5. 

Cost Burden: $1,683.52. 

Needs and Uses: 

Under Section 5 of the Fastener 

Quality Act of 1999 (FQA), 15 U.S.C. 

5401 et seq., certain industrial fasteners 

must bear an insignia identifying the 

manufacturer. It is also mandatory for 

manufacturers of fasteners covered by 

the FQA to submit an application to the 

United Stated Patent and Trademark 

Office (USPTO) for recordal of the 

insignia on the Fastener Insignia 

Register. 

The procedures for the recordal of 

fastener insignia under the FQA are set 

forth in 15 CFR 280.300 et seq. The 

purpose of requiring both the insignia 

and the recordation is to ensure that 

certain fasteners can be traced to their 

manufacturers and to protect against the 

sale of mismarked, misrepresented, or 

counterfeit fasteners. 

The insignia may be either a unique 

alphanumeric designation that the 

USPTO will issue upon request or a 

trademark that is registered at the 

USPTO or is the subject of an 

application to obtain a registration. 

After a manufacturer submits a 

complete application for recordal, the 

USPTO issues a Certificate of Recordal. 

These certificates remain active for five 

years. Applications to renew the 

certificates must be filed within six 

months of the expiration date or, upon 

payment of an additional surcharge, 

within six months following the 

expiration date. 

If a recorded alphanumeric 

designation is assigned by the 

manufacturer, the designation becomes 

‘‘inactive,’’ and the new owner must 

submit an application to reactivate the 

designation within six months of the 

date of assignment. If the recordal is 

based on a trademark application or 

registration, and that registration is 

assigned, the recordal becomes 

‘‘inactive’’ and cannot be reactivated. 

Instead, the new owner of the trademark 

application or registration must apply 

for a new recordal. Manufacturers who 

record insignia must notify the USPTO 

of any changes of address.

one form, the Application for Recordal
