calculation must be a ‘‘reasonably
accurate estimate’’ of the actual rate,
that the calculation must be made in a
manner that reflects differences in
physical characteristics, and that the
result must, while providing a deterrent
for non-compliance, not be punitive,
and provide an adequate explanation of
that calculation.
The Department’s decision in the final
results of the Sixth Administrative
Review Remand Determination is, in all
other respects, upheld.
The Department was directed to
complete its redetermination with
regard to remand issues within 45 days
of the date of the opinion, or not later
than December 19, 2005.
Dated: November 3, 2005.

Listing Endangered and Threatened
Wildlife and Plants; Withdrawal of the
Petition to List Eastern Oyster as
Threatened or Endangered under the
Endangered Species Act
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of the withdrawal of a
petition.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that a
request by Mr. Wolf-Dieter Busch (the
petitioner) to withdraw his petition to
list eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica)
has been received. NMFS has accepted
this request and will cease the
evaluation of the petition. However, in
recognition of the considerable work
that has been completed to date on the
status review report and the value of
this comprehensive resource to the
management of this species, NMFS will
ask the Biological Review Team (BRT)
to complete the status review report.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Kimberly Damon-Randall, NMFS,
Northeast Regional Office, (978) 281–
9300 x6535, or Marta Nammack, NMFS,
HQ, (301) 713-1401 x180, or Jennifer
Moore, NMFS Southeast Regional
Office, (727) 824–5312.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 11, 2005, NMFS received the
petition to list eastern oyster
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:16 Nov 10, 2005
Jkt 208001
(Crassostrea virginica) as threatened or
endangered under the ESA. On May 18,
2005, NMFS published a Federal
Register notice (70 FR 28510)
announcing that the petition and the
information in our files indicated that
the petitioned action may be warranted.
Thus, NMFS initiated a review of the
status of this species.
On Wednesday, October 19, 2005,
NMFS received a letter from the
petitioner, dated October 13, 2005,
requesting the recall of the eastern
oyster petition. In his letter, the
petitioner indicated that his request to
withdraw the petition is due to
confusion over the petition process. He
noted the significant concerns of some
that the species may be listed as
endangered, thereby creating severe
restrictions and regulations for this
resource. He also expressed concern
that, given the timeline of the review,
NMFS may not currently have enough
information to determine if eastern
oyster subspecies exist. He concluded
that he hopes that NMFS will continue
with the review as he considers the
status review report to be a
comprehensive resource which will be
of great value in focusing restoration
activities for this species.
NMFS has accepted this request and
will consider the petition withdrawn,
effective immediately. However, a
considerable amount of effort has been
expended to date by the eastern oyster
BRT as it has already met twice and
prepared approximately three quarters
of the status review report. When
complete, the status review report will
be the most timely and comprehensive
resource document for this species, and,
as such, it will be a useful tool in
guiding future management decisions.
NMFS has, therefore, determined that
the BRT will continue with the status
review report and will complete the
report as soon as practicable.

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: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Certificate Action Form.
Form Number(s): PTO–2042.
Agency Approval Number: 0651–
0045.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 1,383 hours annually.
Number of Respondents: 4,126
responses per year.
Avg. Hours 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, and submit the completed
request. The USPTO estimates that it
will take the public approximately 10
minutes (0.17 hours) to complete and
electronically submit the information
required for certificate self-recovery.
Needs and Uses: In support of the
Government Paperwork Elimination Act
and its own electronic filing initiatives,
the USPTO uses Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) technology to
support electronic commerce between
the USPTO and its customers. In order
to access secure online systems offered
by the USPTO for transactions such as
electronic filing of patent applications
and retrieving confidential patent
application information, customers
must first obtain a digital certificate.
The public uses this collection to
request a new digital certificate, the
revocation of a current certificate, or the
recovery of a lost certificate. This
collection includes the existing
Certificate Action Form (PTO–2042),
which is provided by the USPTO to
ensure that customers submit the
necessary information for processing
certificate requests. The USPTO is
adding a new electronic Certificate SelfRecovery Form to this collection to
enable customers to recover their own
lost certificates online.
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.
