the release devices do not incorporate 

line longer than 10 ft (3.1 m) in their 

design, and two devices use a harness 

that clips to the pot. The remaining 

devices use less than 150 ft (45.7 m) of 

line which would be stowed inside 

either a bag or on a spool. Sinking line 

cannot be used for any SBRS as it would 

create a negatively buoyant strain on the 

buoys and not effectively allow for their 

return to the surface. All of the SBRSs 

with a line storage system would need 

to be attached between the trap and the 

buoy. If necessary, several of the SBRSs 

may also require a small anchor or 

weight to be attached between the pot 

and line-storage device or buoy in areas 

with higher current to keep them from 

fouling in the pot, as well as to ensure 

they are not dragged from their intended 

deployment area. For lift bag and buoy 

systems, the actual systems would be 

secured between the pot and the buoy/ 

bag. 

NMFS finds the application warrants 

further consideration based on a 

preliminary review. Possible conditions 

the agency may impose on the permit, 

if granted, include but are not limited 

to, a prohibition on conducting fishing 

gear testing within marine protected 

areas, marine sanctuaries, special 

management zones, or areas where they 

might interfere with managed fisheries 

without additional authorization. 

Additionally, NMFS may require special 

protections for ESA-listed species and 

designated critical habitat, and may 

require particular gear markings. A final 

decision on issuance of the EFP will 

depend on NMFS’ review of public 

comments received on the application, 

consultations with the appropriate 

fishery management agencies of the 

affected states, the South Atlantic 

Fishery Management Council, and the 

U.S. Coast Guard, and a determination 

that the activities to be taken under the 

EFP are consistent with all applicable 

laws.

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit 

the following information collection 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the 

date of publication of this notice. The 

USPTO invites comment on this 

information collection renewal, which 

helps the USPTO assess the impact of 

its information collection requirements 

and minimize the public’s reporting 

burden. Public comments were 

previously requested via the Federal 

Register on March 31, 2022 during a 60- 

day comment period. This notice allows 

for an additional 30 days for public 

comments. 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

Title: Invention Promoters/Promotion 

Firms Complaints. 

OMB Control Number: 0651–0044. 

Needs and Uses: Pursuant to the 

Inventors’ Rights Act of 1999, 35 U.S.C. 

297, and implementing regulations at 37 

CFR part 4, the United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) is required 

to provide a forum for the publication 

of complaints concerning invention 

promoters and responses from the 

invention promoters. Upon receipt of a 

complaint, the USPTO will forward it to 

the inventor promoter for a response. 

The USPTO does not investigate these 

complaints or participate in any legal 

proceedings against invention 

promoters or promotion firms. Under 

the Act, USPTO is responsible for 

making complaints and responses 

available to the public on the USPTO’s 

website. 

A complaint submitted to the USPTO 

must be clearly marked, or otherwise 

identified, as a complaint. The 

complaint must include: (1) The name 

and address of the complaint; (2) the 

name and address of the invention 

promoter; (3) the name of the customer; 

(4) the invention promotion services 

offered or performed by the invention 

promoter; (5) the name of the mass 

media in which the invention promoter 

advertised providing such services; (6) 

and example of the relationship 

between the customer and the invention 

promoter; and (7) a signature of the 

complainant. Identifying information is 

necessary so that the USPTO can both 

forward the complaint to the invention 

promoter or promotion firm as well as 

notify the complainant that the 

complaint has been forwarded. 

Complainants should understand that 

the complaints will be forwarded to the 

invention promoter for response and 

that the complaint and response will be 

made available to the public as required 

by the Inventors’ Rights Act. If the 

USPTO does not receive a response 

from the invention promoter, the 

complaint will be published without a 

response. The USPTO does not accept 

under this program complaints that 

request confidentiality. 

This information collection contains 

one form, Complaint Regarding 

Invention Promoter (PTO/2048A), 

which is used by the public to submit 

a complaint under this program. This 

form is available for download from the 

USPTO website. Use of this form is 

voluntary, and the complainant may 

submit his or her complaint without the 

form via any of the approved methods 

of collection as long as the complainant 

includes the necessary information and 

the submission is clearly marked as a 

complaint filed under the Inventors’ 

Rights Act. There is no associated form 

for submitting responses to a complaint. 

Form: 

• PTO/2048A (Complaint Regarding 

Invention Promoter).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Sample Form 

Usability Research and Communication 

Testing. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0022. 

Type of Review: Request for approval 

of a generic information collection 

under an existing Generic Information 

Collection Plan. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

268. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 153. 

Abstract: In connection with the 

rulemaking required to implement 

section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the 

CFPB will be developing a sample form 

for collecting the demographic data 

required for collection by the statute. 

This form is intended to show one 

example of a form that lenders, to 

facilitate their compliance with the 

statute, might provide to their small 

business customers. As contemplated by 

the statute, those small business 

customers will be able to choose the 

extent to which they complete the 

sample form or any other form 

presented to those customers by the 

lenders. The CFPB believes that the 

purposes of the statute will be furthered 

to the extent small business owners 

understand the purpose and nature of 

the statutorily-required demographic 

data collection. 

We intend to conduct qualitative 

research to learn more about potential 

concerns that small business owners 

may have about providing demographic 

data to lenders while applying for 

business credit, including audience 

research with small business owners to 

assess their knowledge and 

understanding of the upcoming 1071 

rule, as well as concerns that may 

impact their willingness to complete a 

form of this type. There are two 

purposes for this research: 

• The Sample Form Usability 

Research is intended to identify possible 

concerns or issues small business 

owners may have with submitting 

demographic data via sample forms and 

explore possible approaches to form 

design and language that might bear on 

willingness to provide the data. 

• The Communication Testing 

Research is intended to identify small 

business owners’ knowledge and 

understanding of the upcoming 1071 

rule as well as concerns that may impact 

their willingness to complete a form of 

this type. It will help develop 

implementation materials to facilitate 

lenders’ compliance with the statutory 

requirements. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

soliciting comments on: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the 

Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methods and the 

assumptions used; (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, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be submitted to OMB as part 

of its review of this request. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. 

Anthony May, 

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer 

Financial Protection Bureau.
