I. Abstract

The Patent and Trademark Office

of the Fastener Quality Act, Public Law

that: ‘‘The Secretary shall establish, by

regulation, a program to provide for the

recordation of the insignias of the

manufacturers and private label

distributors described in subsection (a)

to ensure the traceability of a fastener to

its manufacturer or private label

distributor.’’ In order to perform this

function, the Office plans to accept

applications for recordal of fastener

insignia and to maintain a listing of

such insignia. This listing will be open

to public inspection and copies will be

available for sale to the public.

In addition, upon request, the Office

will provide manufacturers and private

label distributors, who do not wish to

record an insignia, with a unique alphanumeric designation which can be used

as a recorded insignia.

Manufacturers and private label

alpha-numeric designations will be

required to renew those recordals every

five years and to notify the Office of any

changes of address.

collecting the information is to ensure
