Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 87 / Friday, May 6, 2005 / Notices
Year Patent Term and Provisional
Applications, 60 FR at 20199, 1174 Off.
Gaz. Pat. Office at 18. The fee amount
specified in 37 CFR 1.17(r) does not
justify a continuation of the final action
practice set forth in the Twenty-Year
Term Final Rule because: (1) The fee
amount at 37 CFR 1.17(r) is no longer
equivalent to the fee required for filing
an application (the filing, search, and
examination fee); and (2) the
applications still eligible for
submissions under 37 CFR 1.129(a) tend
to be more burdensome than the
‘‘usual’’ continuing application (e.g.,
these applications tend to have more
claims, have more continuity
information, and have more related
copending applications). Therefore, the
fee amount specified in 37 CFR 1.17(r)
is no longer a sufficient justification for
treating the Office action following a
submission under 37 CFR 1.129(a) as
the equivalent to a first action in a
continuing application.
Paperwork Reduction Act: This notice
involves information collection
requirements which are subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.). The collection of information
involved in this notice has been
reviewed and previously approved by
OMB under OMB control number 0651–
0031. The Office is not resubmitting any
information collection package to OMB
for its review and approval because the
changes in this notice do not affect the
information collection requirements
associated with the information
collection under OMB control number
0651–0031.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
Section 706.07(g) of the Manual of
Patent Examining Procedure will be
revised in due course to reflect this
change in practice.
Dated: April 20, 2005.
Jon W. Dudas,
Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual
Property and Director of the United States
Patent and Trademark Office.

on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Type of Review: New.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: Challenge Grant Application
Instructions.
OMB Number: None.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: Organizations who
are interested applying for Challenge
Grant funding.

Average Time Per Response: Ten (10)
hours.

hours.

None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/

Description: The purpose of these
Challenge Grants is to assist nonprofit
organizations in securing previously
untapped sources of private funds to
build sustainable national and

either greatly expand services by
engaging citizens in meeting community
needs or offer new services through
expanded citizen engagement.
The Application Instructions
submitted as part of this public
collection request are pertinent only to
the Corporation’s online application
system, eGrants. As noted in the 60-day
notice published on February 14, 2005,
use of the government-wide grants
application system, Grants.gov, for this

system’s ability to accommodate the
Corporation’s specific individualized
needs. We are continuing to cooperate
with Grants.gov in developing the
capability to accept applications
through that system. Instructions for
applying through Grants.gov will be
developed and submitted for approval
when that system is compatible with
our technical application requirements.
