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

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

marketing, technical, and financial 

resources to carry out the submitted

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.
