include user profiles for electronic
funds transfers (EFT). The system of
records will also be renamed
‘‘COMMERCE/PAT–TM–10 Deposit
Accounts and Electronic Funds Transfer
Profiles.’’ We invite the public to
comment on the amendments noted in
this publication.
DATES: Written comments must be
received no later than August 7, 2006.

the USPTO receives comments that
would result in a contrary
determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) is giving notice of an
amendment to a system of records that
is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974.
This system of records maintains
information on deposit accounts that
may be used by customers to pay fees
for processing and services related to
patents, trademarks, and information
products. The USPTO is revising this
system of records to include user
profiles for electronic funds transfers
(EFT), which provide customers with
another method for paying patent and
trademark fees. The Privacy Act notice
is also being updated with current
address information for the system
location and system manager. The
categories of individuals covered by the
system, categories of records in the
system, routine uses of records
maintained in the system, and other
system descriptions are being updated
to include information regarding EFT
user profiles and to reflect current
practice. The authority for maintenance
of the system and rule references for the
notification procedure and contesting
record procedures are being updated to
correspond to the current statutes and
rules for those items as related to the
USPTO.
Due to the addition of information
concerning EFT user profiles, the name
of the system of records in this Privacy
Act notice is being changed to
‘‘COMMERCE/PAT–TM–10 Deposit
Accounts and Electronic Funds Transfer
Profiles.’’ The amended system of
records notice is published in its
