identification, number, and size are 

collected for any available landed catch. 

Data collected from the APAIS are used 

to estimate the catch per angler of 

recreational saltwater fishers. These 

APAIS estimates are combined with 

estimates derived from independent but 

complementary surveys of fishing effort, 

the Fishing Effort Survey and the ForHire Survey, to estimate total, state-level 

fishing catch, by species, and 

participation. These estimates are used 

in the development, implementation, 

and monitoring of fishery management 

programs by the NMFS, regional fishery 

management councils, interstate marine 

fisheries commissions, and state fishery 

agencies.

Title: Survey to Collect Economic 

Data from Recreational Anglers Along 

the Atlantic Coast. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0783. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular [revision of 

currently approved information 

collections]. 

Number of Respondents: 442. 

Average Hours per Response: Eligible 

Anglers, 14 minutes; Ineligible Anglers, 

4 minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 58. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection and is 

sponsored by NOAA’s Northeast 

Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). The 

original data collection effort in 2019 

under OMB Control Number 0648–0783 

was to assess how changes in saltwater 

recreational fishing regulations affect 

angler effort, angler welfare, fishing 

mortality, and future stock levels. That 

data collection effort focused on anglers 

who fished for Atlantic cod and 

haddock off the Atlantic coast from 

Maine to Massachusetts (North Atlantic 

Recreational Fishing Survey I). In 2020, 

the collection was revised to remove the 

cod and haddock survey and add a 

survey focused on anglers who fish for 

summer flounder and black sea bass 

along the Atlantic coast from 

Massachusetts to North Carolina (North 

Atlantic Recreational Fishing Survey II). 

This current revision will re-add the 

original cod and haddock survey to this 

control number (North Atlantic 

Recreational Fishing Survey III). 

The objective of this survey will be to 

update our understanding of how 

anglers who fish for Atlantic cod and 

haddock, respond to changes in 

management options and fishing 

regulations (e.g., bag limits, size limits, 

dates of open seasons, etc.) along the 

Atlantic coast from Maine to 

Massachusetts. The survey data will 

provide the information fisheries 

managers need to conduct updated and 

improved analysis of the socioeconomic effects to recreational anglers 

and to coastal communities of proposed 

changes in fishing regulations. The 

recreational fishing community and 

regional fisheries management councils 

have requested more species-specific 

socio-economic studies of recreational 

fishing that can be used in the analysis 

of fisheries policies. This survey will 

address that stated need for more 

species-specific studies. 

The survey population consists of 

those anglers who fish in saltwater 

along the North Atlantic coast from 

Maine to Massachusetts and who 

possess a license to fish. A sample of 

anglers will be drawn from state fishing 

license frames. The survey will be 

conducted using both mail and email to 

contact anglers and invite them to take 

the survey online. Anglers not 

responding to the online survey may 

receive a paper survey in the mail. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Frequency: The NARFS III will be a 

cross-sectional survey asking anglers to 

respond once to a single questionnaire. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

Program 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As part of its ongoing efforts 

to incentivize more and inclusive 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2022 / Notices 33751 

innovation, including in key technology 

areas such as climate change, and to 

maximize that innovation’s widespread 

impact, including by reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions, the United 

States Patent and Trademark Office 

(USPTO) is implementing the Climate 

Change Mitigation Pilot Program, which 

is designed to positively impact the 

climate by accelerating the examination 

of patent applications for innovations 

that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

The program is intended to encourage 

research, development and innovation 

in the climate space and provide ready 

and equitable intellectual property 

protection to incentivize investment and 

bring those solutions to the country and 

world. The program aligns with and 

supports Executive Order 14008, dated 

January 27, 2021, and is part of the 

USPTO’s efforts to secure an equitable 

economic future, reduce greenhouse gas 

emissions and mitigate climate change. 

Applications accepted into the pilot 

program will be advanced out of turn 

(accorded special status) for first action 

on the merits. 

DATES: Pilot Duration: The Climate 

Change Mitigation Pilot Program will 

accept petitions to make special 

beginning June 3, 2022 until either June 

5, 2023 or the date the USPTO accepts 

a total of 1,000 grantable petitions, 

whichever occurs first. The USPTO 

may, at its sole discretion, terminate the 

pilot program depending on factors such 

as workload and resources needed to 

administer the program, feedback from 

the public, and the effectiveness of the 

program. If the pilot program is 

terminated, the USPTO will notify the 

public. The USPTO will indicate on its 

website the total number of petitions 

filed and the number of applications 

accepted into the pilot program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: New 

patent applications are normally taken 

up for examination in the order of their 

U.S. filing date or national stage entry 

date. See §§ 708 and 1893.03(b) of the 

Manual of Patent Examining Procedure 

(MPEP) (9th ed., rev. 10.2019, June 

2020). The USPTO has procedures 

under which an application will be 

advanced out of turn (accorded special 

status) for examination if the applicant 

files (1) a petition to make special under 

37 CFR 1.102(c) or (d) with the 

appropriate showing, or (2) a request for 

prioritized examination under 37 CFR 

1.102(e). See 37 CFR 1.102(c)–(e) and 

MPEP §§ 708.02, 708.02(a), and 

708.02(b). The USPTO revised its 

accelerated examination procedures 

effective August 25, 2006, requiring that 

all petitions to make special comply 

with the requirements of the revised 

accelerated examination (AE) program 

set forth in MPEP § 708.02(a), except 

those based on an inventor’s health or 

age or the Patent Prosecution Highway 

(PPH) Pilot Program. See Changes to 

Practice for Petitions in Patent 

Applications To Make Special and for 

Accelerated Examination, 71 FR 36323 

(June 26, 2006). 

The USPTO is implementing a new 

Climate Change Mitigation Pilot 

Program. The program, which aligns 

with and supports Executive Order 

14008, permits an application that 

claims certain products and/or 

processes that mitigate climate change 

by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 

be advanced out of turn (accorded 

special status) for first action on the 

merits without meeting all of the 

requirements of the accelerated 

examination program set forth in MPEP 

§ 708.02(a) (for example, examination 

support document) if the applicant files 

a petition to make special under 37 CFR 

1.102(d) meeting all of the requirements 

set forth in this notice. 

To qualify, applicants must file a 

petition to make special under the pilot 

program, and the application must 

claim an invention directed to certain 

technologies that are designed to reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions. Applicants 

must also certify that (1) they have a 

good faith belief that expediting 

examination of the application will 

likely have a positive impact on the 

climate, and (2) the inventor or any joint 

inventor has not been named as the 

inventor or a joint inventor on more 

than four other nonprovisional 

applications in which a petition to make 

special under this program has been 

filed. Applications accepted into the 

pilot program will be advanced out of 

turn (accorded special status) for first 

action on the merits without meeting all 

of the current requirements, including 

any extra fee payments, of the 

accelerated examination program (for 

example, the requirement for an 

examination support document) or the 

prioritized examination program (for 

example, the prioritized examination fee 

or processing fee). 

All other requirements of the 

accelerated examination program that 

are not required by this notice, 

including the 37 CFR 1.17(h) fee for a 

petition to make special under 37 CFR 

1.102(d), are hereby waived based upon 

the special procedure specified in this 

notice. The USPTO will periodically 

evaluate the pilot program to determine 

whether and to what extent its coverage 

should be expanded or limited. 

No fees or requirements other than 

those discussed above are waived by 

this pilot program. 

Part I. Requirements To Participate 

In addition to filing a nonprovisional 

patent application that is ready for 

examination (including a specification, 

drawing(s) if necessary, at least one 

claim, and payment of all fees 

associated with the filing of an 

application), the patent application and 

the petition to participate in this pilot 

program must meet the requirements 

that follow. 

(1) Types of Applications and Time for 

Filing Petition 

The petition to make special under 

the pilot program must be filed: 

(a) With the electronic filing of a 

noncontinuing original utility 

nonprovisional application or entry into 

the national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371, 

or within 30 days of the filing date or 

entry date of the application; or 

(b) with the electronic filing of an 

original utility nonprovisional 

application claiming the benefit of an 

earlier filing date under 35 U.S.C. 120, 

121, 365(c), or 386(c) of only one prior 

nonprovisional application or only one 

prior international application 

designating the United States or within 

30 days of the filing date of such 

application. 

Definition 

Noncontinuing application: A 

noncontinuing application is an 

application that is not a continuation, 

divisional, or continuation-in-part 

application filed under the conditions 

specified in 35 U.S.C. 120, 121, 365(c), 

or 386(c) and 37 CFR 1.78. See section 

201.02 of the MPEP. 

The pilot program is reserved for the 

nonprovisional applications described 

above that have not received a first 

office action (including a written 

restriction requirement). Any 

application that claims the benefit of the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
33752 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2022 / Notices 

filing date of two or more prior filed 

applications that are nonprovisional 

U.S. applications and/or international 

applications designating the United 

States is not eligible for participation in 

the pilot program. Claiming the benefit 

under 35 U.S.C. 119(e) of one or more 

prior provisional applications or 

claiming a right of foreign priority under 

35 U.S.C. 119(a)–(d) or (f) to one or more 

foreign applications will not affect 

eligibility for the pilot program. 

(2) Office Form Required for Filing 

Petition 

Form PTO/SB/457, titled 

‘‘CERTIFICATION AND PETITION TO 

MAKE SPECIAL UNDER THE CLIMATE 

CHANGE MITIGATION PILOT 

PROGRAM,’’ is required to be used to 

make the petition under the pilot. It is 

available at https://www.uspto.gov/ 

patent/forms/forms-patent-applicationsfiled-or-after-september-16-2012. Form 

PTO/SB/457 contains the necessary 

certifications for qualification to 

participate in the pilot. Use of the form 

will enable the USPTO to quickly 

identify and timely process the petition. 

In addition, use of the form will help 

applicants understand and comply with 

the petition requirements of the pilot 

program. Under 5 CFR 1320.3(h), form 

PTO/SB/457 does not collect 

‘‘information’’ within the meaning of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

(3) Required Certification 

The petition to make special must 

certify: (1) That the claimed invention 

covers a product or process that 

mitigates climate change; (2) that the 

product or process is designed to reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions; (3) that 

applicant has a good faith belief that 

expediting patent examination of the 

application will likely have a positive 

impact on the climate; and (4) that the 

inventor or any joint inventor has not 

been named as the inventor or a joint 

inventor on more than four other 

nonprovisional applications in which a 

petition to make special under this 

program has been filed. Form PTO/SB/ 

457 contains these certifications. 

(4) Publication Requirement for 

Applications 

If applicant files the petition to make 

special on the date of filing of an 

application, the application may not be 

filed with a nonpublication request. If 

applicant previously filed a 

nonpublication request in the 

application, applicant must file a 

rescission of the nonpublication request 

no later than the time the petition to 

make special is filed. Applicant may use 

form PTO/SB/36 to rescind the 

nonpublication request. 

(5) Application Data Sheet Requirement 

Unless previously filed in the patent 

application, the petition must be 

accompanied by a properly signed 

application data sheet per 37 CFR 1.76 

meeting the conditions specified in 37 

CFR 1.53(f)(3)(i). 

(6) Claim Limit and No Multiple 

Dependent Claims 

When the petition is filed and 

throughout pendency, the application 

must contain no more than 3 

independent claims and 20 total claims 

and no multiple dependent claims. The 

examiner may refuse entry of any 

amendment filed in reply to an office 

action that, if entered, would result in 

a set of pending claims that exceeds 

either of these claim limits or adds a 

multiple dependent claim. See Part IV 

of this notice. 

(7) Electronic Filing of Application and 

Petition Required 

The petition to make special may only 

be made by filing form PTO/SB/457, 

which must be filed electronically using 

the USPTO’s Patent Center (at https://

patentcenter.uspto.gov/#!/). Applicants 

must file the petition using the 

document description indicated on form 

PTO/SB/457. In addition, the 

application or national stage entry must 

be filed using Patent Center, and the 

specification, claims, and abstract must 

be submitted in DOCX format. Prior to 

submitting the application for filing, 

applicants will receive a feedback 

document. Applicants may find it 

beneficial to review the feedback 

document and make corrections to the 

application before filing the application. 

By making the necessary corrections 

before filing, applicants may avoid 

delays that can occur in the preexamination process. For more 

information on DOCX filing in Patent 

Center, please see https://

www.uspto.gov/patents/docx. 

(8) Filing Limitations 

An applicant may file a petition to 

participate in the pilot program if the 

inventor or any joint inventor has not 

been named as the inventor or a joint 

inventor on more than four other 

nonprovisional patent applications in 

which a petition to make special under 

this program has been filed. Therefore, 

if the inventor or any one of the joint 

inventors of the instant application has 

been named as the inventor or a joint 

inventor on more than four other 

nonprovisional applications in which 

petitions under this pilot program have 

been filed, then the petition for the 

instant application may not be 

appropriately filed. 

Definition 

Claimed invention covers a product or 

process that mitigates climate change: 

This phrase is only met when an 

application includes a claim that would 

correspond to one or more of the 

technical concepts within subclass 

Y02A, Y02B, Y02C, Y02D, Y02E, Y02P, 

Y02T or Y02W in the Cooperative 

Patent Classification (CPC) system. For 

example, a claim to a process to capture 

or dispose of methane would 

correspond to Y02C 20/20. The full 

schedule of Y02 class is available at: 

https://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/ 

classification/cpc/html/cpcY.html#Y02. 

Part II. Internal Processing of the 

Petition Under the Pilot Program 

If applicant files a petition to make 

special under the pilot program, the 

USPTO will decide the petition once the 

application is in condition for 

examination. If the petition is granted, 

the application will be accorded special 

status under the pilot program. The 

application will be placed on an 

examiner’s special docket until a first 

office action on the merits. After the 

first action on the merits, the 

application will no longer be treated as 

special during examination, for 

example, if an amendment is filed, it 

will be placed on the examiner’s regular 

amended docket. 

If the petition to make special under 

the pilot program does not comply with 

the requirements set forth in this notice, 

the USPTO may notify the applicant of 

the deficiency by issuing a notice. The 

notice will give applicant only one 

opportunity to correct the deficiency. If 

applicant still wishes to participate in 

the pilot program, applicant must file a 

reply via Patent Center that includes 

appropriate corrections and a properly 

signed petition form PTO/SB/457 

within one month or thirty days, 

whichever is longer, from the mailing/ 

notification date of the notice informing 

applicant of the deficiency. The time 

period for reply is not extendable under 

37 CFR 1.136(a). If applicant fails to 

correct the deficiency indicated in the 

notice within the time period set forth 

therein, the application will not be 

accepted into the pilot program and will 

be taken up for examination in 

accordance with standard examination 

procedures. In addition, the petition 

will be dismissed without an 

opportunity for correction if it is 

deficient in any of the following ways: 

(1) The application does not contain a 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2022 / Notices 33753 

claim that complies with the eligibility 

requirements of this notice (that is, the 

claim does not cover a product or 

process that mitigates climate change by 

reducing greenhouse gas emissions); (2) 

The application claims the benefit of the 

filing date of two or more prior filed 

applications that are nonprovisional 

U.S. applications and/or international 

applications designating the United 

States; and (3) The petition was not filed 

with the application or entry into the 

national stage under 35 U.S.C. 371 or 

within 30 days of the application’s filing 

date or national stage entry date. 

Part III. Requirement for Restriction 

If the claims in the application are 

directed to multiple inventions, the 

examiner may make a requirement for 

restriction or unity of invention in 

accordance with current restriction 

practice. The examiner will attempt to 

contact the applicant following the 

procedure for the telephone restriction 

practice set forth in MPEP § 812.01. If a 

telephone restriction requirement is 

made, applicant must make an election 

without traverse to an invention that 

meets the eligibility requirements of this 

notice. If applicant refuses to make an 

election (for example, by failing to reply 

to a request for a telephonic interview 

within five business days of the 

examiner’s request), the special status of 

the application will be terminated and 

the examiner may mail a written 

restriction requirement. 

Part IV. Office Actions and Replies 

Under the Pilot Program 

Applications that are accorded special 

status under the pilot program will be 

placed on an examiner’s special docket 

until a first office action on the merits. 

After the first office action on the 

merits, the application will be placed on 

the examiner’s regular docket. 

A reply to an office action must be 

fully responsive to the rejections, 

objections, and requirements made by 

the examiner. Any amendment filed in 

reply to an office action may be treated 

as not fully responsive if it attempts to: 

(1) Add claims that would result in 

more than three independent claims or 

more than 20 total claims pending in the 

application; (2) add any multiple 

dependent claim(s); or (3) cancel all 

claims that meet the requirements of the 

pilot program (that is, the application no 

longer contains any claims that cover a 

product or process that reduces 

greenhouse gas emissions and thereby 

mitigate climate change). If a reply to a 

nonfinal office action is not fully 

responsive because it does not comply 

with the pilot claim requirements but is 

a bona fide attempt to advance the 

application to final action, the examiner 

may, at their discretion, provide a 

shortened statutory period of two (2) 

months for the applicant to supply a 

fully responsive reply. Extensions of 

this time period under 37 CFR 1.136(a) 

to the notice of nonresponsive 

amendment will be permitted, but in no 

case can any extension carry the date for 

reply to this notice beyond the 

maximum period of SIX MONTHS set 

by statute (35 U.S.C. 133). However, any 

further nonresponsive amendment 

typically will not be treated as bona 

fide, and therefore, the time period set 

in the prior notice will continue to run. 

Part V. After-Final and Appeal 

Procedures 

Any amendment, affidavit, or other 

evidence after a final office action and 

prior to appeal must comply with 37 

CFR 1.116. During the appeal process, 

the application will be treated in 

accordance with the normal appeal 

procedure (see MPEP Chapter 1200). 

Part VI. Proceedings Outside the 

Normal Examination Process 

If an application becomes involved in 

proceedings outside the normal 

examination process (for example, a 

secrecy order, derivation proceeding, or 

petitions under 37 CFR 1.181–1.183), 

the USPTO will place the application in 

special status under the pilot program 

before and after such proceedings. 

During those proceedings, however, the 

application will not be under special 

status. For example, while under a 

secrecy order, the application will be 

treated in accordance with the normal 

secrecy order procedures and will not 

be in special status under the pilot 

program. Once the proceeding outside 

the normal examination process is 

completed, the application will 

continue in special status as described 

above in this notice. 

Part VII. Withdrawal From the Pilot 

Program 

There is no provision for withdrawal 

from the pilot program. An applicant 

may abandon an application that has 

been granted special status under the 

pilot program in favor of a continuing 

application. However, a continuing 

application will not automatically be 

granted special status based on the 

petition filed in the parent application. 

Each application (including each 

continuing application) must, on its 

own, meet all requirements for special 

status under the pilot program, and be 

accompanied by its own petition as 

detailed in Part I (2) above.
