Agricultural Research Service

    Title: Patent License Application.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0003.
    Summary of Collection: Public Law 96-517, HR 209 (Technology 
Transfer Commercialization Act of 2000), and 37 CFR part 404 requires 
Federal agencies to use the patent system to promote the utilization of 
inventions arising from federally supported research and provide the 
authority to grant patent licenses. 37 CFR 404.8 specifies the 
information which must be submitted by a patent license applicant to 
the Federal agency having custody of a patent. Form ADS-761 collects 
the information specified under 37 CFR 404.8.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Agricultural Research Service 
(ARS) will collect identifying information on the applicant, 
identifying information for the business, and a detailed description 
for development and/or marketing of the invention using form AD-761. 
The collected information is used by the Office of Technology Transfer 
(OTT) to evaluate a patent license applicant's ability to bring an 
invention to practical application, as defined in 37 CFR 404.3. The 
information collected is used to determine whether the applicant has 
both a complete and sufficient plan for developing and marketing the 
invention and the necessary manufacturing, marketing, technical, and 
financial resources to carry out the submitted plan.
    Description of Respondents: Business or other for profit; Not-for-
profit institutions; Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 75.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.

Agricultural Research Service

    Title: Information Collection for Document Delivery Services.
    OMB Control Number: 0518-0027.
    Summary of Collection: The National Agricultural Library (NAL) 
accepts requests from libraries and other organizations in accordance 
with the national and international interlibrary loan code and 
guidelines. In its national role, NAL collects, and supplies copies or 
loans of agricultural materials not found elsewhere. 7 U.S.C. 3125a and 
7 CFR 505 gives NAL the authority to collect this information. NAL 
provides photocopies and loans of materials directly to USDA staff, 
other Federal agencies, libraries, and other institutions, and 
indirectly to the public through their libraries. The Library charges 
for some of these activities through a fee schedule. To fill a request 
for reproduction or loan of items the library must have the name, 
mailing address, phone number of the respondent initiating the request, 
and may require an email address. The respondent must also provide a 
brief statement acknowledging copyright compliance, required by Title 
17 of the United States Code. The collected information is used to 
deliver the material to the respondent, monitor the return to NAL of 
loaned material, and identify and locate the requested material in NAL 
collections.
    Need and Use of the Information: This information collection is 
used by NAL document delivery staff to identify the protocol for 
processing the request. The information collected is used by staff to 
process/package the reproduction or loan for delivery. The collected 
information may also be used for any additional follow-up or 
clarification in replying to a request. Collected information for copy 
requests is entered into a delivery system used to automate the 
delivery of material to the respondent. The copyright compliance 
statement is used for assurance of compliance with the copyright laws 
and is retained in the library for three years as required by the above 
copyright law. All collected information is confidential and only used 
by staff that need to process the request. Information stored in 
databases is maintained on NAL's secure network and may be password 
protected. Additionally, databases are routinely updated to maintain 
only needed records/information.
    Description of Respondents: Federal Government; Not-for-profit 
institutions; State, Local or Tribal Government; Business or other for-
profit.
    Number of Respondents: 196.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 28.
