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. 

II. Method of Collection 

By mail, facsimile, hand delivery, or 

electronically to the USPTO. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0651–0028. 

Form Number(s): PTO–1611. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 95 

responses per year. 

Estimated Time per Response: The 

USPTO estimates that it will take the 

public approximately 15 minutes (0.25 

hours) to gather the necessary 

information, prepare the form, and 

submit the request for recordal or 

renewal of a fastener insignia to the 

USPTO. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Burden Hours: 24 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Respondent 

Cost Burden: $2,928. The USPTO 

expects that the information in this 

collection will be prepared by 

paraprofessionals at an estimated rate of 

$122 per hour. Therefore, the USPTO 

estimates that the respondent cost 

burden for this collection will be 

approximately $2,928 per year.

Estimated Total Annual Non-hour 

Respondent Cost Burden: $2,044. There 

are no capital start-up, recordkeeping, or 

maintenance costs associated with this 

information collection. However, this 

collection does have annual (non-hour) 

costs in the form of filing fees and 

postage costs. 

Under 37 CFR 2.7, the filing fee is $20 

for a recordal of a new fastener insignia, 

a renewal, or a request for reactivation. 

The USPTO estimates that it will 

receive 95 new recordals, renewals, or 

reactivations of fastener insignia per 

year, for a total of $1,900 in filing fees. 

If a manufacturer submits a renewal 

after the expiration date but within six 

months of that date, then the 

manufacturer must pay an additional 

$20 late-renewal surcharge. The USPTO 

estimates that approximately 7 of the 95 

responses per year will be late renewals 

that incur the surcharge, for a total of 

$140 in additional charges. Therefore, 

the total estimated filing fees for this 

collection will be $2,040 per year. 

The public may submit the 

information for this collection to the 

USPTO by mail through the United 

States Postal Service. The USPTO 

estimates that approximately 5 of the 95 

responses per year will be submitted to 

the USPTO by mail at an average firstclass postage cost of 88 cents per 

response, for a total postage cost of 

approximately $4 per year. 

The total non-hour respondent cost 

burden for this collection in the form of 

filing fees ($2,040) and postage costs 

($4) is estimated to be $2,044 per year. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, e.g., the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
