Estimated Total Annual Non-hour 

Respondent Cost Burden: $2,845. There 

are no capital start-up costs, 

recordkeeping costs, or maintenance 

costs associated with this information 

collection. However, this collection 

does have annual (non-hour) costs in 

the form of filing fees and postage costs. 

Under 37 CFR 2.7, the filing fee for a 

recordal of fastener insignia is $20, 

whether it be a new recordal, renewal, 

or a request for reactivation. The USPTO 

estimates that it will receive 125 new 

recordals or renewals of fastener 

insignia per year for a total of $2,500 in 

filing fees. If a manufacturer submits a 

renewal after the expiration date but 

within six months of that date, then the 

manufacturer must pay an additional 

$20 late renewal surcharge. The USPTO 

estimates that approximately 10 of the 

estimated 125 responses per year will be 

late renewals that incur the surcharge, 

for a total of $200 in additional charges. 

If a manufacturer fails to renew or 

assigns an alphanumeric designation 

assigned by the USPTO to a new owner, 

the current owner may submit a request 

for reactivation of that same 

alphanumeric designation for a fee of 

$20. The USPTO estimates 

approximately 5 reactivation requests 

will be received per year, for a total of 

$100. Therefore, the total estimated 

filing costs for this collection will be 

$2,800 per year. 

The public may submit the 

information for this collection to the 

USPTO by mail through the United 

States Postal Service. The USPTO 

estimates that approximately 60 of the 

130 responses per year will be 

submitted to the USPTO by mail at an 

average first-class postage cost of 75 

cents per response, for a total postage 

cost of $45 per year. 

The total non-hour respondent cost 

burden for this collection in the form of 

filing fees ($2,800) and postage costs 

($45) is estimated to be $2,845 per year. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (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, e.g. , the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized or

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
