<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices
has renewed the charter for the Science
Advisory Board (SAB) for a 2-year
period, through August 9, 2007. The
SAB is a federal advisory committee
under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (Pub. L. 92–463).
DATES:
Renewed through August 9,
2007.
The
charter has evolved since the SAB’s
inception in 1997 so as to accurately
describe the SAB’s purpose,
membership, and administrative
provisions. To more fully align the
charter with the current state of the SAB
and NOAA, the renewal charter has
been modified as follows: (1) The first
Objective has been changed to: ‘‘The
SAB will advise the Under Secretary of
Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere
on strategies for research, education,
and application of science to operations
and information services, so as to better
understand and predict changes in the
Earth’s environment and conserve and
manage coastal and marine resources to
meet the Nation’s economic, social, and
environmental needs.’’ This change
aligns the charter with NOAA’s mission
statement. (2) The SAB’s Objectives and
Duties now authorize the SAB to
conduct NOAA Cooperative Institute
reviews, in addition to those of NOAA
laboratories and programs. (3) The
Administrative Provisions have been
modified to clarify that the SAB reports
only to the Under Secretary, and so
strengthens its senior advisory role
within NOAA. (4) The Administrative
Provisions have also been modified to
clarify that, when deemed appropriate,
the SAB can choose to appoint NOAA
employees to task forces and working
groups.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Patent and Trademark Office
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO).
Title: Representative and Address
Provisions.
Form Number(s): PTO/SB/80/81/82/
83/84/122/123/124A/124B/125A/125B.
Agency Approval Number: 0651–
0035.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 23,668 hours annually.
Number of Respondents: 370,766
responses per year.
Avg. Hours Per Response: The USPTO
estimates that it will take the public
approximately 3 to 12 minutes (0.05 to
0.2 hours) to gather the necessary
information, prepare the form, and
submit a completed request involving a
power of attorney, correspondence
address, or Customer Number. The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public approximately 1 hour to prepare
and submit a petition related to power
of attorney and 1 hour and 30 minutes
(1.5 hours) to submit a Customer
Number Upload Spreadsheet, including
the time to prepare the spreadsheet file
on diskette or CD and to produce a
signed cover letter.
Needs and Uses: Under 35 U.S.C. 2
and 37 CFR 1.31–1.36 and 1.363, this
information collection is used by the
public to grant or revoke power of
attorney in a patent application, to
withdraw as attorney or agent of record,
to authorize a practitioner to act in a
representative capacity, to designate or
change the correspondence address or
fee address for one or more applications
or patents, to request a Customer
Number, and to designate or change the
correspondence address, fee address, or
list of practitioners associated with a
Customer Number. The Customer
Number practice permits authorized
individuals to change the
correspondence address, fee address, or
representatives of record for a number of
patents or applications with one change
request instead of filing separate
requests for each patent or application.
The USPTO uses the information in this
collection to determine who is
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

authorized to take action in an
application or patent on behalf of the
applicant or assignee and where to send
correspondence regarding an
application or patent. This information
collection currently contains eight paper
forms, and customers may also submit
information using the Customer Number
Upload Spreadsheet format. The USPTO
is adding the Authorization to Act in a
Representative Capacity (PTO/SB/84),
two petitions, and electronic power of
attorney submissions to this collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, businesses or other forprofits, not-for-profit institutions, farms,
the Federal Government, and state, local
or tribal governments.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.

information collection should be sent on
or before October 3, 2005 to David

Leaders School selection and the
President’s Student Service Awards.
Currently, the Corporation is
soliciting comments concerning the
