Submission for OMB Review; 

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. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0028. 

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. 

This information collection includes 

one form, the Application for Recordal

of Insignia or Renewal/Reactivation of 

Recordal Under the Fastener Quality 

Act (PTO–1611), which provides 

manufacturers with a convenient way to 

submit a request for the recordal of a 

fastener insignia or to renew or 

reactivate an existing Certificate of 

Recordal. Use of Form PTO–1611 is not 

mandatory, and applicants may instead 

prepare requests for recordal using their 

own format. 

The public uses this information 

collection to comply with the insignia 

recordal provisions of the FQA. The 

USPTO uses the information in this 

collection to record or renew insignias 

under the FQA and to maintain the 

Fastener Insignia Register, which is 

open to public inspection. The public 

may download the Fastener Insignia 

Register from the USPTO Web site. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain or Retain Benefits.

echotiner@cftc.gov, and refer to OMB 

Control No. 3038–0069. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection 

of information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the Commission is 

publishing notice of the proposed 

extension of the collection of 

information listed below. 

Title: Information Management 

Requirements for Derivatives Clearing 

Organizations (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0069). This is a request for extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Part 39 of the Commission’s 

regulations establishes information 

management requirements for 

derivatives clearing organizations 

(‘‘DCOs’’), which are required to be 

registered with the Commission. The 

Commission will use the information in 

this collection to assess compliance of 

DCOs with requirements for DCOs 

prescribed in the Commodity Exchange 

Act and Commission regulations. 

With respect to the collection of 

information, the CFTC invites 

comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have a practical use; 

• The accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to http://

www.cftc.gov. You should submit only 

information that you wish to make 

available publicly. If you wish the 

Commission to consider information 

that you believe is exempt from 

disclosure under the Freedom of 

Information Act, a petition for 

confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in § 145.9 

of the Commission’s regulations.1

The Commission reserves the right, 

but shall have no obligation, to review, 

pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or 

remove any or all of your submission 

from http://www.cftc.gov that it may 

deem to be inappropriate for
