SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

29, 2016, the USPTO published a notice 

for the implementation of the Cancer 

Immunotherapy Pilot Program. See 

Cancer Immunotherapy Pilot Program, 

81 FR 42328 (Cancer Immunotherapy 

Notice). The pilot program was designed 

to support the global fight against 

cancer. The Cancer Immunotherapy 

Notice indicated that an applicant could 

have an application advanced out of 

turn (accorded special status) for 

examination without meeting all the 

current requirements of the accelerated 

examination program set forth in item 

VIII of section 708.02(a) of the Manual 

of Patent Examining Procedure if the 

application contained at least one claim 

to a method of treating a cancer using 

immunotherapy and the applicant met 

other requirements specified in the 

Cancer Immunotherapy Notice. 

The Cancer Immunotherapy Notice 

established that the pilot program 

would run for 12 months, beginning on 

June 29, 2016. Over the course of the 

pilot program, the USPTO has extended 

it through notices published in the 

Federal Register. The most recent notice 

extended the program until June 30, 

2022. See Extension of the Cancer 

Immunotherapy Pilot Program, 85 FR 

41570 (July 10, 2020). In view of the 

continued interest in the pilot program, 

the USPTO is hereby extending it 

through September 30, 2022. The 

extension will also allow the USPTO to 

continue its evaluation of the program. 

The requirements of the pilot program 

have not been modified. 

Various stakeholders from around the 

world—including independent 

inventors, universities, research 

institutions, hospitals, medical centers, 

government agencies, and large and 

small companies—have filed petitions 

to participate in the pilot program. To 

date, over 835 petitions requesting 

participation have been filed, and over 

615 patents have been granted under the 

pilot program. 

The USPTO is currently deciding 

whether to expand the scope of the pilot 

program. The USPTO may further 

extend the program (with or without 

modifications), depending on feedback 

from the participants, additional 

continued interest, and the program’s 

effectiveness. The USPTO welcomes 

public comment on these topics.

for Associate Members of the Energy 

and Environmental Markets Advisory 

Committee (EEMAC or Committee) and

2022.

Submissions@cftc.gov or sent by hand 

delivery or courier to Chris Lucas, Chief 

of Staff to Commissioner Summer K. 

Mersinger, Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 

1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 

20581. Please use the title ‘‘Energy and 

Environmental Markets Advisory 

Committee’’ for any nominations or 

topics you submit. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lauren Fulks, EEMAC Secretary, (816) 

960–7719 or email: lfulks@cftc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

EEMAC was established to conduct 

public meetings; submit reports and 

recommendations to the Commission; 

and otherwise serve as a vehicle for 

discussion and communication on 

matters of concern to exchanges, trading 

firms, end users, energy producers, and 

regulators regarding energy and 

environmental markets and their 

regulation by the Commission. 

Pursuant to the EEMAC’s authorizing 

statute, the EEMAC must have nine 

members. In addition, the EEMAC 

Charter requires that the Committee 

have approximately 9–20 Associate 

Members. The EEMAC currently has 

twelve Associate Members and 

Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger, 

the EEMAC’s Sponsor, seeks additional 

Associate Members of the EEMAC. 

Accordingly, the Commission invites 

the submission of nominations for 

EEMAC Associate Members who 

represent a wide diversity of opinions 

and a broad spectrum of interests

38716 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 29, 2022 / Notices 

related to the energy and environmental 

markets and their regulation by the 

Commission. To advise the Commission 

effectively, EEMAC Associate Members 

must have a high level of expertise and 

experience in the energy and/or 

environmental markets and the 

Commission’s regulation of such 

markets, including from a historical 

perspective. To the extent practicable, 

the Commission will strive to select 

members reflecting wide ethnic, racial, 

gender, and age representation. All 

EEMAC Associate Members must be 

willing to participate in a public forum. 

Each nomination submission should 

include relevant information about the 

proposed Associate Member, such as the 

individual’s name, title, organizational 

affiliation and address, email address 

and telephone number, as well as 

information that supports the 

individual’s qualifications to serve as an 

Associate Member of the EEMAC. The 

submission should also include the 

name, email address, and telephone 

number of the person nominating the 

proposed Associate Member. Selfnominations are acceptable. 

Submission of a nomination is not a 

guarantee of selection as an Associate 

Member of the EEMAC. As noted in the 

EEMAC’s Charter, the CFTC identifies 

Associate Members of the EEMAC 

through a variety of methods. Such 

methods may include public requests 

for nominations for membership; 

recommendations from existing 

advisory committee members; 

consultations with knowledgeable 

persons outside the CFTC (industry, 

consumer groups, other state or federal 

government agencies, academia, etc.); 

requests to be represented received from 

individuals and organizations; and 

Commissioners’ and CFTC staff’s 

professional knowledge of those 

experienced in the energy and 

environmental markets. The office of the 

Commissioner primarily responsible for 

the EEMAC plays a primary, but not 

exclusive, role in this process and 

makes recommendations regarding 

membership to the Commission. The 

Commission, by vote, authorizes 

Associate Members to serve on the 

EEMAC. 

Associate Members may be appointed 

as representatives, special government 

employees, or regular government 

employees. Associate Members serve at 

the pleasure of the Commission, and 

may be appointed to serve for one, two, 

or three-year terms. As required by the 

EEMAC Charter, Associate Members 

provide their reports and 

recommendations directly to the 

EEMAC and not the Commission. 

Associate Members do not have the 

right to vote on matters before the 

EEMAC and may not sign or otherwise 

formally approve reports or 

recommendations made by the EEMAC 

to the Commission. Associate Members 

do not receive compensation for their 

services, and are not reimbursed for 

travel and per diem expenses. The 

EEMAC meets at such intervals as are 

necessary to carry out its functions and 

must meet at least two times per year. 

Associate Members are expected to 

provide their advice and 

recommendations to EEMAC members 

during these meetings. 

In addition, the Commission invites 

submissions from the public regarding 

the topics on which EEMAC should 

focus. Such topics should: 

(a) Reflect matters of concern to 

exchanges, trading firms, end users, 

energy producers, and regulators 

regarding energy and environmental 

markets and their regulation by the 

Commission; and/or 

(b) Are important to otherwise assist 

the Commission in identifying and 

understanding the impact and 

implications of the evolving market 

structure of the energy, environmental, 

and other related markets. 

Each topic submission should include 

the commenter’s name and email or 

mailing address.
