U.S.C. App. (1982), and after 

consultation with the General Services

governmental, and other national

be renewed every 2 years from the date 

of the last renewal. 

The Committee will function solely as 

an advisory body and in compliance 

with provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. Copies of the 

Committee’s revised Charter have been 

filed with the appropriate committees of 

the Congress and with the Library of 

Congress. The charter can be accessed

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

meeting via webinar session for the 

Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section 

to the International Commission for the 

Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) 

and all interested stakeholders to 

receive an update and provide input on 

the development of the management 

strategy evaluation (MSE) for Atlantic 

bluefin tuna. 

DATES: A virtual meeting that is open to 

the public will be held by webinar 

session on May 2, 2022, from 11 a.m. to

ADDRESSES: Please register to attend the

Affairs, Trade, and Commerce, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSE is a 

process that allows fishery managers 

and stakeholders (e.g., industry, 

scientists, and non-governmental 

organizations) to assess how well 

different strategies achieve specified 

management objectives for a fishery. 

After several years of work, ICCAT 

expects to finalize its bluefin tuna MSE 

in 2022 and anticipates adopting a 

management procedure in November 

2022 to set Total Allowable Catch 

(TACs) for 2023 and future years for 

both the western Atlantic and eastern 

Atlantic and Mediterranean stocks of 

bluefin tuna. NMFS and the United 

States more broadly participate in this 

MSE development process and have 

been engaging stakeholders and 

considering their input throughout the 

process through various means, 

including consultation with the 

Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section 

to ICCAT. The United States also 

participates in the development of the 

bluefin tuna MSE through active 

engagement by U.S. scientists in 

ICCAT’s Standing Committee on 

Research and Statistics (SCRS). 

The May 2 meeting is intended to 

update stakeholders and solicit their 

input on the MSE approach being 

developed by ICCAT. This includes 

SCRS progress in developing initial 

candidate management procedures 

(CMPs) illustrating potential 

management tradeoffs and the related 

process by ICCAT to refine management 

objectives to assist the SCRS in further 

refining and narrowing those CMPs. 

This open session Advisory Committee 

meeting is primarily informational in 

nature and intended to increase the 

opportunity for stakeholder awareness 

and input on the bluefin tuna MSE 

process. Discussions at the meeting will 

help to inform U.S. scientists who are 

participating in the work of the SCRS, 

and input provided during the meeting 

will be considered by the United States 

to assist its preparations for a 9–10 May 

2022 meeting of ICCAT’s Panel 2 and 

other ICCAT bluefin tuna MSE meetings 

planned for 2022. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.; 16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

[Docket No. PTO–P–2022–0016] 

Grant of Interim Extension of the Term 

of U.S. Patent No. 9,364,354; Reducer®

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of Interim Patent Term 

Extension. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office has issued an order 

granting interim extension for a oneyear interim extension of the term of 

U.S. Patent No. 9,364,354. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ali 

Salimi by telephone at (571) 272–0909; 

by mail marked to his attention and 

addressed to the Commissioner for 

Patents, Mail Stop Hatch-Waxman PTE, 

P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, VA 22313– 

1450; by fax marked to his attention at 

(571) 273–0909; or by email to 

ali.salimi@uspto.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

156 of Title 35, United States Code, 

generally provides that the term of a 

patent may be extended for a period of 

up to five years if the patent claims a 

product, or a method of making or using 

a product, that has been subject to 

certain defined regulatory review, and 

that the patent may be extended for 

interim periods of up to one year if the 

regulatory review is anticipated to 

extend beyond the expiration date of the 

patent. 

On April 8, 2022, Neovasc Medical 

Ltd., the patent owner of record, timely 

filed an application under 35 U.S.C. 

156(d)(5) for a third interim extension of 

the term of U.S. Patent No. 9,364,354. 

The patent claims the catheter 

implantable device, Reducer®. The 

application for patent term extension 

indicates that a Premarket Approval 

Application (PMA) P190035 was 

submitted to the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) on December 31, 

2019. 

Review of the patent term extension 

application indicates that, except for 

permission to market or use the product 

commercially, the subject patent would 

be eligible for an extension of the patent 

term under 35 U.S.C. 156, and that the 

patent should be extended for one year 

as required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). 

Because there is a reasonable 

expectation that the regulatory review 

period will continue beyond the twiceextended expiration date of the patent, 

June 6, 2022, a third interim extension 

of the patent term under 35 U.S.C. 

156(d)(5) is appropriate. 

A third interim extension under 35 

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. 

Patent No. 9,364,354 is granted for a 

period of one year from the twiceextended expiration date of the patent.
