collection to OMB. 

DATES: To ensure consideration, 

comments regarding this proposed 

information collection must be received 

on or before May 16, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Through acts such as the National 

Construction Safety Team Act (NCSTA), 

the National Windstorm Impact 

Reduction Act (NWIRA) and the NIST 

Organic Act, among others, as well as 

the President’s Climate Action Plan 

(2013), NIST conducts research and 

develops guidance and other related 

tools to promote and enhance the safety 

and well-being of people in the face of 

a hazard event. With this in mind, NIST 

proposes to conduct a number of data 

collection efforts within the topic areas 

of disaster and failure studies and 

community resilience and 

sustainability, including studies of 

specific disaster events (e.g., wildfire, 

urban fire, structure collapse, hurricane, 

earthquake, tornado, and flood events), 

assessments of community resilience 

and sustainability, and evaluations of 

the usability and utility of NIST 

resilience guidance or other products. 

These data collection efforts may be 

either qualitative or quantitative in 

nature or may consist of mixed 

methods. Additionally, data may be 

collected via a variety of means, 

including but not limited to electronic 

or social media, direct or indirect 

observation (i.e., in person, video and 

audio collections), interviews, 

questionnaires, and focus groups. NIST 

will limit its inquiries to data 

collections that solicit strictly voluntary 

opinions or responses. The results of the 

data collected will be used to decrease 

negative impacts of disasters on society, 

and, in turn, increase community 

resilience within the U.S. communities. 

Steps will be taken to protect 

confidentiality of respondents in each 

activity covered by this request. 

This notice pertains to both a revision 

and an extension of a previously 

approved submission. The NIST 

Engineering Laboratory utilizes this 

clearance to conduct research in support 

of topic areas of disaster and failure 

studies and community resilience 

(including studies of specific disaster 

events such as wildfire, urban fire, 

structure collapse, hurricane, 

earthquake, tornado, and flood events). 

This type of research is directly 

related to a range of disasters which are 

unpredictable in their number during a 

given year. Additionally, some disasters 

may require multiple studies resulting 

in multiple collections. Therefore, in 

light of the recent increases in the 

number of severe disaster events and the 

growing trend of disasters occuring 

outside of their typical season, NIST is 

requesting to increase the ICR Annual 

Response allotment from 20,000 to 

25,000 Responses; and the ICR Annual 

Hours allotment from 15,000 to 18,000. 

NIST assures that no changes will be 

made to any of the individual 

information collection requests that 

have been approved for use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) Quality 

Survey is an instrument designed to 

measure opinions about the services 

that USPTO provides its patent 

application customers. The results from 

this voluntary survey will assist USPTO 

in guiding improvements and 

enhancements in the future. The USPTO 

conducts the Patents External Quality 

Survey as part of its quality 

improvement efforts under E.O. 14058, 

Transforming Federal Customer 

Experience and Service Delivery to 

Rebuild Trust in Government (Dec. 13, 

2021). This survey narrows the focus of 

customer satisfaction to examination 

quality and uses a longitudinal, rotating 

panel design to assess changes in 

customer perceptions and to identify 

key areas for examiner training and 

opportunities for improvement. The 

USPTO surveys patent agents, attorneys, 

and other individuals from large 

domestic corporations (including those 

with 500+ employees), small and 

medium-size businesses, independent 

inventors, and universities and other 

non-profit research organizations. This 

survey does not include foreign entities. 

The USPTO random sample used in 

this survey is drawn from the Patent 

Application and Location Management 

(PALM) database. The sample 

population is drawn from the top filing 

firms and entities that have filed more 

than 5 patent applications in a 12- 

month period. This ongoing survey is 

generally conducted twice a year. 

USPTO uses a rotating panel design 

where participants will take the survey 

twice in back-to-back survey periods. 

Half the participants in each survey 

period are new, completing the survey 

for the first time, and half are returning 

to complete the survey for a second 

time. This design allows a precise 

measurement of changes in customer 

experience over time. 

The Patents External Quality Survey 

is primarily a web-based survey, 

although respondents can also complete 

the survey via paper and mail if they 

prefer. The content of both versions is 

identical. Potential respondents are sent 

either an email or mailed pre-survey 

letter, depending on noted preferences 

for contact. At the beginning of each 

survey period, respondents are provided 

instructions for accessing and 

completing the survey electronically. 

After a specified response period, a
