Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for clearance the following 

proposal for collection of information 

under the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Agency: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office (USPTO). 

Title: Admittance to Practice and 

Roster of Registered Patent Attorneys 

and Agents Admitted to Practice Before 

the United States Patent and Trademark 

Office (USPTO). 

Form Number(s): PTO–158, PTO– 

158A, 158T, 158LS, PTO–275, PTO– 

107A, PTO–1209, PTO–2126, PTO– 

2149, PTO–2150. 

Agency Approval Number: 0651– 

0012. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden: 98,028 hours annually. 

Number of Respondents: 93,340 

responses per year. 

Avg. Hours per Response: The USPTO 

estimates that it will take the public 

between 1 minute (0.02 hours) and 40 

hours, depending upon the complexity 

of the situation, to gather the necessary 

information, prepare, and submit the 

forms and requirements in this 

collection. 

Needs and Uses: This information is 

required by 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2)(D) and 

administered by the USPTO through 37 

CFR 1.21, 10.14, 10.170, 11.2, 11.5– 

11.14 and 11.28. The information is 

used by the Director of the Office of 

Enrollment and Discipline (OED) to 

determine whether the applicant for 

registration is of good moral character 

and repute; has the necessary legal, 

scientific, and technical qualifications; 

and is otherwise competent to advise 

and assist applicants in the presentation 

and prosecution of patent applications. 

Note that the USPTO is approved to 

collect a fee under 37 CFR 11.8 and is 

seeking continued approval to collect 

that fee. The USPTO has not 

implemented the changes from that final 

rule or the new information collection 

activities associated with that 

rulemaking; however, we continue to 

include the estimates of that burden in 

this request. The USPTO at this time is 

not collecting that fee but is retaining an 

estimated burden for the fee collection. 

If the agency chooses to begin collecting 

the fee, it will inform the public. 

Please Note ALSO that the USPTO is 

requesting continued approval for items 

currently approved but not collected 

that are associated with 37 CFR 11.13 

and were introduced as collection items 

on June 24, 2004 by the final rule 0651– 

AB55, Changes to Representation of 

Others Before the United States Patent 

and Trademark Office (60 Fed. Reg. 

35428). OMB has previously approved 

the collection of these items. The 

USPTO has not implemented the 

changes from that proposed rule or the 

new information collection activities 

associated with that rulemaking; 

however, we continue to include the 

estimates of that burden in this request. 

If the agency determines that it will 

not implement the Rule and/or 

determines that the fee under 37 CFR 

11.8 will never be collected, the agency 

will request a removal of the burden 

estimates from this collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; businesses or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
