There are no maintenance costs
associated with this information
collection. However, this collection
does have annual (non-hour) cost
burden in the form of filing fees,
recordkeeping costs, capital start-up
costs, and postage costs.
The two petitions being added into
this collection have associated filing
fees. The filing fee for the Petition
Under 37 CFR 1.36(a) to Revoke Power
of Attorney by Fewer than All the
Applicants is currently $130 (37 CFR
1.17(h)). The USPTO has proposed to
increase this fee to $400 (37 CFR 1.17(f))
as discussed in the notice of proposed
rulemaking entitled ‘‘Provisions for
Persons Granted Limited Recognition to
Prosecute Patent Applications and
Other Miscellaneous Matters’’ (RIN
0651–AB85), published in the Federal
Register on April 7, 2005. This
proposed fee coincides with the $400
fee (37 CFR 1.17(f)) for the Petition to
Waive 37 CFR 1.32(b)(4) and Grant
Power of Attorney by Fewer than All the
Applicants. Using the $400 fee for these
petitions, the USPTO estimates that the
total filing fees for this collection would
be $1,200 per year.
There are recordkeeping costs
associated with submitting power of
attorney forms electronically over the
Internet using EFS. The USPTO
recommends that customers print and
retain a copy of the acknowledgment
receipt that is displayed on the screen
after a successful submission. The
USPTO estimates that it will take 5
seconds (0.001 hours) to print a copy of
the acknowledgment receipt and that
approximately 2,488 power of attorney
submissions per year will be completed
via EFS, for a total of approximately 2
hours per year. The USPTO expects that
these receipts will be printed by
paraprofessionals at an estimated rate of
VerDate jul<14>2003
22:07 Jun 20, 2005
Jkt 205001
$81 per hour, for a total recordkeeping
cost of $162 per year.
This collection has capital start-up
costs associated with the Customer
Number Upload Spreadsheet, which
must be submitted to the USPTO on a
diskette or CD. This process requires
additional supplies, including blank
diskettes or recordable CD media and
padded envelopes for shipping. The
USPTO estimates that the cost of these
supplies will be approximately $2 per
submission, for a total capital start-up
cost of $6,000 per year.
The public may incur postage costs
when submitting the information in this
collection to the USPTO by mail. The
USPTO estimates that the first-class
postage cost for a mailed submission
will be 49 cents for all items in this
collection except for the electronic
power of attorney submissions and the
Customer Number Upload Spreadsheet.
There is no postage cost for electronic
power of attorney submissions. Due to
the additional materials required for
Customer Number Upload Spreadsheet
submissions, including the diskette or
CD and cover letter, the USPTO
estimates that the average first-class
postage cost for a spreadsheet
submission will be 83 cents. The total
postage cost for this collection is
$181,476 per year.
The total (non-hour) respondent cost
burden for this collection in the form of
filing fees, recordkeeping costs, capital
start-up costs, and postage costs is
estimated to be $188,838 per year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Government Paperwork
Elimination Act (GPEA) directs federal
agencies to implement electronic
commerce systems that enable the
collection and dissemination of
information while also ensuring the
security and validity of the information
that is transmitted. In support of the
GPEA and its own electronic filing
initiatives, the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) uses Public
Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to
support electronic commerce between
the USPTO and its customers. PKI is a
set of hardware, software, policies, and
procedures that provide several
important security services for the
electronic business activities of the
USPTO, including protecting the
confidentiality of unpublished patent
applications in accordance with 35
U.S.C. 122 and international patent
applications in accordance with Article
30 of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
In order to provide the necessary
security for its electronic commerce
systems, the USPTO uses PKI
technology to protect the integrity and
confidentiality of information submitted
to the USPTO. PKI employs public and
private encryption keys to authenticate
the customer’s identity and support
secure electronic communication
between the customer and the USPTO.
Customers may submit a request to the
USPTO for a digital certificate, which
enables the customer to create the
encryption keys necessary for electronic
identity verification and secure
transactions with the USPTO. This
digital certificate is required in order to
access secure online systems that are
provided by the USPTO for transactions
such as electronic filing of patent
applications and accessing confidential
information about unpublished patent
applications.
This information collection includes
the Certificate Action Form (PTO–2042),
which is available for download from
the USPTO Web site. This form is used
by the public to request a new digital
certificate, the revocation of a current
certificate, or the recovery of a lost or
corrupted certificate. Customers may
also change the name listed on the
certificate or associate the certificate
with one or more previously assigned
Customer Numbers. A certificate request
must include a notarized signature in
order to verify the identity of the
applicant. The Certificate Action Form
also has an accompanying subscriber
agreement to ensure that customers
understand their obligations regarding
the use of the digital certificates and
cryptographic software.
The USPTO has revised the Certificate
Action Form to accommodate its use by
limited recognition practitioners who
have been granted status to act as
representatives in specific patent
applications. The revised form allows
customers to identify themselves as
limited recognition practitioners when
requesting a digital certificate. The
USPTO is also upgrading its PKI
software, which will enable customers
to recover their own lost certificates
instantly over the Internet without
having to contact support staff at the
USPTO Electronic Business Center.
When generating a new certificate, the
customer will have the option of
providing additional information for a
set of security questions and answers
that will be invoked as part of the online
verification process in the event the
customer uses the certificate self-
recovery feature. The electronic
Certificate Self-Recovery Form is being
added to this collection.
II. Method of Collection
The Certificate Action Form may be
mailed or hand delivered to the USPTO.
The Certificate Self-Recovery Form is
submitted electronically over the
Internet.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0045.
Form Number(s): PTO–2042.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions; farms;
the Federal Government; and state, local
or tribal governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,126 responses per year.
Estimated Time Per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public approximately 30 minutes (0.5
hours) to read the instructions and
subscriber agreement, gather the
necessary information, prepare the
Certificate Action Form (PTO–2042),
and submit the completed request. The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public approximately 25 minutes (0.42
hours) to complete and electronically
submit the information required for
Certificate Self-Recovery.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 1,898 hours per year.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost Burden: $197,392 per year. For this
information collection, the USPTO
expects that 70% of the submissions
will be prepared by paraprofessionals,
15% by attorneys, and 15% by
independent inventors. Using those
proportions and the estimated rates of
$81 per hour for paraprofessionals, $286
per hour for associate attorneys in
private firms, and $30 per hour for
independent inventors, the USPTO
estimates that the average hourly rate for
all respondents will be approximately
$104 per hour. Therefore, the estimated
total respondent cost burden for this
collection will be $197,392 per year.

software from the USPTO at no cost.
However, this collection does have
annual (non-hour) cost burden in the
form of recordkeeping costs and postage
costs associated with the Certificate
Action Form (PTO–2042).
This collection has recordkeeping
costs due to the notarization
requirement for authenticating the
customer’s signature on the Certificate
Action Form. The USPTO estimates that
the average fee for having a signature
notarized is $2 and that 2,063 signed
Certificate Action Forms will be
submitted annually, for a total
recordkeeping cost of $4,126 per year.
This collection also has postage costs
for submitting the Certificate Action
Form to the USPTO by mail. The
Certificate Action Form cannot be
submitted electronically because it
requires an original notarized signature
as verification of the customer’s
identity. The USPTO estimates that the
first-class postage cost for a mailed
Certificate Action Form will be 37 cents
and that it will receive 2,063 Certificate
Action Forms annually, for a total
postage cost of $763 per year.
The total (non-hour) respondent cost
burden for this collection in the form of
recordkeeping costs and postage costs is
estimated to be $4,889 per year.

in the form of recordkeeping costs and postage costs associated with
the Certificate Action Form (PTO-2042).
This collection has recordkeeping costs due to the notarization
requirement for authenticating the customer's signature on the

Action Forms will be submitted annually, for a total recordkeeping cost
of $4,126 per year.
This collection also has postage costs for submitting the
Certificate Action Form to the USPTO by mail. The Certificate Action
Form cannot be submitted electronically because it requires an original
