(d) Submit a final report to the Chief, 

Permits and Conservation Division, 

Office of Protected Resources, NMFS, 

within 30 days after receiving comments 

from NMFS on the draft report. If NMFS 

decides that the draft report needs no 

comments, the draft report shall be 

considered to be the final report. 

(e) SAE must immediately report to 

NMFS if 25 belugas are detected within 

the 160 dB re 1 mPa (rms) disturbance 

zone during seismic survey operations 

to allow NMFS to consider making 

necessary adjustments to monitoring 

and mitigation. 

9. (a) In the unanticipated event that 

the specified activity clearly causes the 

take of a marine mammal in a manner 

prohibited by this Authorization, such 

as an injury (Level A harassment), 

serious injury or mortality (e.g., shipstrike, gear interaction, and/or 

entanglement), SAE shall immediately 

cease the specified activities and 

immediately report the incident to the 

Chief of the Permits and Conservation 

Division, Office of Protected Resources, 

NMFS, or her designees by phone or 

email (telephone: 301–427–8401 or 

Sara.Young@noaa.gov), the Alaska 

Regional Office (telephone: 907–271– 

1332 or Barbara.Mahoney@noaa.gov), 

and the Alaska Regional Stranding 

Coordinators (telephone: 907–586–7248 

or Aleria.Jensen@noaa.gov or 

Barbara.Mahoney@noaa.gov). The 

report must include the following 

information: 

(i) Time, date, and location (latitude/ 

longitude) of the incident; 

(ii) The name and type of vessel 

involved; 

(iii) The vessel’s speed during and 

leading up to the incident; 

(iv) Description of the incident; 

(v) Status of all sound source use in 

the 24 hours preceding the incident; 

(vi) Water depth; 

(vii) Environmental conditions (e.g., 

wind speed and direction, Beaufort sea 

state, cloud cover, and visibility); 

(viii) Description of marine mammal 

observations in the 24 hours preceding 

the incident; 

(ix) Species identification or 

description of the animal(s) involved; 

(x) The fate of the animal(s); and 

(xi) Photographs or video footage of 

the animal (if equipment is available). 

Activities shall not resume until 

NMFS is able to review the 

circumstances of the prohibited take. 

NMFS shall work with SAE to 

determine what is necessary to 

minimize the likelihood of further 

prohibited take and ensure MMPA 

compliance. SAE may not resume their 

activities until notified by NMFS via 

letter or email, or telephone. 

(b) In the event that SAE discovers an 

injured or dead marine mammal, and 

the lead PSO determines that the cause 

of the injury or death is unknown and 

the death is relatively recent (i.e., in less 

than a moderate state of decomposition 

as described in the next paragraph), SAE 

will immediately report the incident to 

the Chief of the Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, her 

designees, and the NMFS Alaska 

Stranding Hotline (see contact 

information in Condition 9(a)). The 

report must include the same 

information identified in the Condition 

9(a) above. Activities may continue 

while NMFS reviews the circumstances 

of the incident. NMFS will work with 

SAE to determine whether 

modifications in the activities are 

appropriate. 

(c) In the event that SAE discovers an 

injured or dead marine mammal, and 

the lead PSO determines that the injury 

or death is not associated with or related 

to the activities authorized in Condition 

2 of this Authorization (e.g., previously 

wounded animal, carcass with moderate 

to advanced decomposition, or 

scavenger damage), SAE shall report the 

incident to the Chief of the Permits and 

Conservation Division, Office of 

Protected Resources, NMFS, her 

designees, the NMFS Alaska Stranding 

Hotline (1–877–925–7773), and the 

Alaska Regional Stranding Coordinators 

within 24 hours of the discovery (see 

contact information in Condition 9(a)). 

SAE shall provide photographs or video 

footage (if available) or other 

documentation of the stranded animal 

sighting to NMFS and the Marine 

Mammal Stranding Network. Activities 

may continue while NMFS reviews the 

circumstances of the incident. 

10. SAE is required to comply with 

the Reasonable and Prudent Measures 

and Terms and Conditions of the ITS 

corresponding to NMFS’ Biological 

Opinion issued to both U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers and NMFS’ Office of 

Protected Resources. 

11. A copy of this Authorization and 

the ITS must be in the possession of all 

contractors and PSOs operating under 

the authority of this Incidental 

Harassment Authorization. 

12. Penalties and Permit Sanctions: 

Any person who violates any provision 

of this Incidental Harassment 

Authorization is subject to civil and 

criminal penalties, permit sanctions, 

and forfeiture as authorized under the 

MMPA. 

13. This Authorization may be 

modified, suspended or withdrawn if 

the Holder fails to abide by the 

conditions prescribed herein or if the 

authorized taking is having more than a 

negligible impact on the species or stock 

of affected marine mammals, or if there 

is an unmitigable adverse impact on the 

availability of such species or stocks for 

subsistence uses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) is required 

by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to examine 

applications and, when appropriate, 

allow applications and issue them as 

patents. Chapter 30 of Title 35 U.S.C. 

provides that any person at any time 

may file a request for reexamination by 

the USPTO of any claim of a patent on 

the basis of prior art patents or printed 

publications. Once initiated, the 

reexamination proceedings under 

Chapter 30 are substantially ex parte 

and do not permit input from third 

parties. The rules outlining ex parte 

reexaminations are found at 37 CFR 

1.510–1.570. 

35 U.S.C. 257 permits a patent owner 

to request supplemental examination of 

a patent by the USPTO to consider, 

reconsider, or correct information 

believed to be relevant to the patent. 

The rules outlining supplemental 

examination are found at 37 CFR 1.601– 

1.625. 

The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act 

terminated inter partes reexamination 

effective September 16, 2012. However, 

inter partes reexamination proceedings 

based on inter partes reexamination 

requests filed before September 16, 

2012, continue to be prosecuted. 

Therefore, this collection continues to 

include items related to the prosecution 

of inter partes reexamination 

proceedings. The rules outlining inter 

partes reexaminations are found at 37 

CFR 1.903–1.931. 

Thus, the items included in this 

collection cover (i) requests for ex parte 

reexamination, (ii) requests for 

supplemental examination, and (iii) 

information that may be submitted by 

patent owners and third party requesters 

in relation to the prosecution of an ex 

parte or inter partes reexamination 

proceeding. It should be noted that the 

Requests for Ex Parte Reexamination 

and Supplemental Examination are 

distinct collections from the Request for 

Ex Parte Reexamination and 

Supplemental Examination Transmittal 

Forms, respectively. Whereas the 

transmittal forms are used by a requester 

(patent owner or third party) as a 

checklist to ensure compliance with the 

requirements of the statutes and rules 

for ex parte reexaminations and 

supplemental examinations, the 

requests themselves represent the 

substantive analysis undertaken by 

requesters of ex parte reexamination 

and supplemental examination. 

The public uses this information 

collection to request ex parte 

reexamination and supplemental 

examination, to prosecute 

reexamination proceedings, and to 

ensure that the associated 

documentation is submitted to the 

USPTO. 

II. Method of Collection 

By mail, facsimile, hand delivery, or 

electronically to the USPTO. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0651–0064. 

Form Number(s): PTO/SB/57 and 

PTO/SB/59. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an 

existing collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; businesses or other forprofits; and not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,170 responses per year. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

USPTO estimates that it will take the 

public from 0.30 hours (18 minutes) to 

55 hours to gather the necessary 

information, prepare the appropriate
