SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

proposed rule change is designed to

adjust PTO fees in accordance with the

applicable provisions of title 35, United

States Code; and section 10101 of the

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

1990 (as amended by section 8001 of

Public Law 103–66), all as amended by

the Patent and Trademark Office

Authorization Act of 1991 (Public Law

102–204).

Background

Statutory Provisions

Patent fees are authorized by 35

U.S.C. 41 and 35 U.S.C. 376. A fifty

percent reduction in the fees paid under

35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) by independent

inventors, small business concerns, and

nonprofit organizations who meet

prescribed definitions is required by 35

U.S.C. 41(h).

Subsection 41(f) of title 35, United

States Code, provides that fees

established under 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and

(b) may be adjusted on October 1, 1992,

and every year thereafter, to reflect

fluctuations in the Consumer Price

Index for all urban consumers (CPI–U)

over the previous 12 months.

Section 10101 of the Omnibus Budget

Reconciliation Act of 1990 (amended by

section 8001 of Public Law 103–66)

provides that there shall be a surcharge

on all fees established under 35 U.S.C.

41(a) and (b) to collect $115 million in

fiscal year 1997.

Subsection 41(d) of title 35, United

States Code, authorizes the

Commissioner to establish fees for all

other processing, services, or materials

related to patents to recover the average

cost of providing these services or

materials, except for the fees for

recording a document affecting title, for

each photocopy, and for each black and

white copy of a patent.

Section 376 of title 35, United States

Code, authorizes the Commissioner to

set fees for patent applications filed

under the Patent Cooperation Treaty

(PCT).

Subsection 41(g) of title 35, United

States Code, provides that new fee

amounts established by the

Commissioner under section 41 may

take effect thirty days after notice in the

Federal Register and the Official

Gazette of the Patent and Trademark

Office.

Recovery Level Determinations

This proposed rule adjusts patent fees

for a planned recovery of $716,723,000

in fiscal year 1997, as proposed in the

Administration’s budget request to the

Congress.

The patent statutory fees established

by 35 U.S.C. 41(a) and (b) are proposed

to be adjusted on October 1, 1996, to

reflect any fluctuations occurring during

the previous 12 months in the

Consumer Price Index for all urban

consumers (CPI–U). In calculating these

fluctuations, OMB has determined that

the PTO should use CPI–U data as

determined by the Secretary of Labor.

However, the Department of Labor does

not make public the CPI–U until

approximately 21 days after the end of

the month being calculated. Therefore,

the latest CPI–U information available is

for the month of February 1996. In

accordance with previous rulemaking

methodology, the PTO uses the

Administration’s projected CPI–U for

the 12-month period ending September

30, 1996, which is 3.1 percent. Based on

this projection, patent statutory fees are

proposed to be adjusted by 3.1 percent.

Before the final fee schedule is

published, the fees may be adjusted

slightly based on updated data available

from the Department of Labor.

Certain non-statutory patent

processing fees established under 35

U.S.C. 41(d) and PCT processing fees

established under 35 U.S.C. 376 are

proposed to be adjusted to recover their

estimated average costs in fiscal year

1996. Three patent service fees that are

set by statute will not be adjusted. The

three fees that are not being adjusted are

assignment recording fees, printed

patent copy fees and photocopy charge

fees.

The proposed fee amounts were

rounded by applying standard

arithmetic rules so that the amounts

rounded would be convenient to the

user. Fees of $100 or more were

rounded to the nearest $10. Fees

between $2 and $99 were rounded to an

even number so that any comparable

small entity fee would be a whole

number.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 1, 1996 / Proposed Rules 19225

Workload Projections

Determination of workload varies by

fee. Principal workload projection

techniques are as follows:

Patent application workloads are

projected from statistical regression

models using recent application filing

trends. Patent issues are projected from

an in-house patent production model

and reflect examiner production

achievements and goals. Patent

maintenance fee workloads utilize

patents issued 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years

prior to payment and assume payment

rates of 79 percent, 55 percent and 32

percent, respectively. Service fee

workloads follow linear trends from

prior years’ activities.

General Procedures

Any fee amount that is paid on or

after the effective date of the fee

increase would be subject to the new

fees then in effect. For purposes of

determining the amount of the fee to be

paid, the date of mailing indicated on a

proper Certificate of Mailing or

Transmission, where authorized under

37 CFR 1.8, will be considered to be the

date of receipt in the PTO. A Certificate

of Mailing or Transmission under

Section 1.8 is not ‘‘proper’’ for items

which are specifically excluded from

the provisions of Section 1.8. Section

1.8 should be consulted for those items

for which a Certificate of Mailing or

Transmission is not ‘‘proper.’’ Such

items include, inter alia, the filing of

national and international applications

for patents and the filing of trademark

applications. However, the provisions of

37 CFR 1.10 relating to filing papers and

fees with an ‘‘Express Mail’’ certificate

do apply to any paper or fee (including

patent and trademark applications) to be

filed in the PTO. If an application or fee

in filed by ‘‘Express Mail’’ with a proper

certificate dated on or after the effective

date of the rules, as amended, the

amount of the fee to be paid would be

the fee established by the amended

rules.

In order to ensure clarity in the

implementation of the new fees, a

discussion of specific sections is set

forth below.

Discussion of Specific Rules

37 CFR 1.16 National Application

Filing Fees

Section 1.16, paragraphs (a), (b), (d),

and (f)–(i), if revised as proposed, would

adjust fees established therein to reflect

fluctuations in the CPI. Further, section

1.16, if revised as proposed, would

remove the undesignated text following

paragraph (d), and add a new paragraph

(k) including the provisions of such

deleted undesignated text. In addition,

§ 1.16(k) would also be applicable to

any additional fees required by

§§ 1.16(i) and (j).

37 CFR 1.17 Patent Application

Processing Fees

Section 1.17, paragraphs (b)–(g), (m),

(r) and (s), if revised as proposed, would

adjust fees established therein to reflect

fluctuations in the CPI.

Section 1.17, paragraphs (j) and (n)–

(p), if revised as proposed, would adjust

fees established therein to recover costs.

37 CFR 1.18 Patent Issue Fees

Section 1.18, paragraphs (a)–(c), if

revised as proposed, would adjust fees

established therein to reflect

fluctuations in the CPI.

37 CFR 1.20 Post-Issuance Fees

Section 1.20, paragraphs (c), (i), and

(j), if revised as proposed, would adjust

fees established therein to recover costs.

Section 1.20, paragraphs (e)–(g), if

revised as proposed, would adjust fees

established therein to reflect

fluctuations in the CPI.

37 CFR 1.21 Miscellaneous Fees and

Charges

Section 1.21, paragraph (a)(1), if

revised as proposed, would establish a

non-refundable application fee which

reflects the costs of processing an

application for the registration

examination. Currently, the PTO

evaluates and processes the applications

of individuals who do not qualify for

admission or those who withdraw from

the examination, but generally refunds

the examination fee to such applicants.

Thus, other fee payers bear the costs of

this evaluation and processing. The

proposed amendment would shift the

expense of evaluating applications to all

applicants. In order to offset the

proposed application fee, the

examination fee is proposed to be

slightly decreased.

Section 1.21, paragraphs (a)(3) and

(a)(6), if revised as proposed, would

adjust fees established therein to recover

costs.

37 CFR 1.445 International

Application Filing, Processing, and

Search Fees

Section 1.445, paragraph (a), if revised

as proposed, would adjust the fees

authorized by 35 U.S.C. 376 to recover

costs and reflect current business

practices.

37 CFR 1.482 International

Preliminary Examination Fees

Section 1.482, paragraphs (a)(1)(i),

(a)(1)(ii), and (a)(2)(ii), if revised as

proposed, would adjust the fees

authorized by 35 U.S.C. 376 to recover

costs.

37 CFR 1.492 National State Fees

Section 1.492, paragraphs (a), (b) and

(d), if revised as proposed, would adjust

fees established therein to reflect

fluctuations in the CPI.

Other Considerations

This proposed rule change is in

conformity with the requirements of

Executive Order 12612, and the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44

U.S.C. 3501, et seq. This rulemaking

contains no information collection

within the meaning of the Paperwork

Reduction Act. This proposed rule has

been determined not to be significant for

purposes of Executive Order 12866. The

PTO has determined that this proposed

rule change has no Federalism

implications affecting the relationship

between the National Government and

the States as outlined in Executive

Order 12612.

The Assistant General Counsel for

Legislation and Regulation of the

Department of Commerce has certified

to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy,

Small Business Administration, that the

proposed rule change would not have a

significant impact on a substantial

number of small entities (Regulatory

Flexibility Act, Pub. L. 96–354). The

proposed rule change increases fees to

reflect the change in the CPI as

authorized by 35 U.S.C. 41(f). Further,

the principal impact of the major patent

fees has already been taken into account

in 35 U.S.C. 41(h), which provides small

entities with a 50-percent reduction in

the major patent fees.

A comparison of existing and new fee

amounts is included as an Appendix to

this notice of proposed rulemaking.

[FRL–5466–9]

Air Quality: Revision to Definition of

Volatile Organic Compounds—

Exclusion of HFC 43–10mee and HCFC

225ca and cb

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise

EPA’s definition of volatile organic

compounds (VOC) for purposes of

preparing State implementation plans

(SIP’s) to attain the national ambient air

quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone

under title I of the Clean Air Act (Act)

and for the Federal implementation plan

(FIP) for the Chicago ozone

nonattainment area. This proposed

revision would add HFC 43–10mee and

HCFC 225ca and cb to the list of

compounds excluded from the

definition of VOC on the basis that these

compounds have negligible contribution

to tropospheric ozone formation.

DATES: Comments on this proposal must

be received by May 31, 1996. Requests

for a hearing must be submitted by May

31, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

submitted in duplicate (if possible) to:

Air and Radiation Docket and

Information Center (6102), Attention:

Docket No. A–95–37, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460.

Comments should be strictly limited to

the subject matter of this proposal, the

scope of which is discussed below.

Public Hearing: If anyone contacts

EPA requesting a public hearing, it will

be held at Research Triangle Park, North

Carolina. Persons wishing to request a

public hearing, wanting to attend the

hearing, or wishing to present oral

testimony should notify Mr. William

Johnson, Air Quality Strategies and

Standards Division (MD–15),

Environmental Protection Agency,

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

27711, telephone (919) 541–5245. The

EPA will publish notice of a hearing, if

requested, in the Federal Register. Any

hearing will be strictly limited to the

subject matter of the proposal, the scope

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Petitions have been received from two

organizations asking for certain

compounds to be added to the list of

compounds which are considered to be

negligibly reactive in the definition of

VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s). On December

12, 1994, Asahi Glass America, Inc.,

submitted a petition for HCFC 225 ca

and cb isomers. These compounds are

chemically named 3,3-dichloro1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (CAS

number 422–56–0) and 1,3-dichloro1,1,2,2,3-pentafluoropropane (CAS

number 507–55–1), respectively. On

March 13, 1995, the E.I. du Pont de

Nemours and Company submitted a

petition for the compound HFC 43–

10mee. This compound has the

chemical name 1,1,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,5-

decafluoropentane (CAS number

138495–42–8).

In support of their petitions, these

organizations supplied information on

the photochemical reactivity of the

individual compounds. This

information consisted mainly of the rate

constant for the reaction of the

compound with the hydroxyl (OH)

radical. This rate constant (kOH value) is

commonly used as one measure of the

photochemical reactivity of compounds.

The petitioners compared the rate

constants with that of other compounds

which have already been listed as

photochemically, negligibly reactive

(e.g., ethane which is the compound

with the highest kOH value that is

currently regarded as negligibly

reactive). The compounds for which

petitions were submitted are listed in

Table 1 along with their reported kOH

rate constants.

TABLE 1—REACTION RATE

HCFC–225ca .......................... 2.5×10¥14

HCFC–225cb .......................... 8.6×10¥15

HFC 43–10mee ...................... 3.87×10¥15

The scientific information which the

petitioners have submitted in support of

their petitions has been added to the

docket for this rulemaking. This

information includes references for the

journal articles where the rate constant

values are published.

II. The EPA Response to the Petitions

In regard to the petition for HCFC

225ca and HCFC 225cb, existing data

support that the reactivities of these

compounds with respect to reaction

with OH radicals in the atmosphere are

considerably lower than that of ethane.

This would indicate that these

compounds are less reactive than ethane

which is already classified as negligibly

reactive. Similarly, for HFC 43–10mee,

the rate constant of reaction with the

OH radical is considerably less than that

for ethane.

In each of the above petitions, the

petitioners did not submit reactivity

data with respect to other VOC loss

reactions (such as reaction with Oatoms, nitrogen trioxide (NO3)-radicals,

and ozone 0(O3), and for photolysis).
