Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 129 / Thursday, July 6, 2006 / Notices
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) requires that NMFS
develop and implement recovery plans
for the conservation and survival of
threatened and endangered species
under its jurisdiction, unless it is
determined that such plans would not
promote the conservation of the species.
This Plan discusses the natural history,
current status, and the known and
potential human impacts to sperm
whales. Actions needed to promote the
recovery of this species are identified
and discussed. The Plan will be used to
direct U.S. activities, and to encourage
international cooperation to promote the
recovery of this endangered species.
NMFS’ goal is to restore endangered
sperm whale populations to the point
where they are again secure, selfsustaining members of their ecosystems,
and no longer need the protections of
the ESA. NMFS will consider all
substantive comments and information
presented during the public comment
period in the course of finalizing this
Plan.

Authority
Issuance of permits and permit
modifications, as required by the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531–1543) (ESA), is based on a
finding that such permits/modifications:
(1) are applied for in good faith; (2)
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species which are the
subject of the permits; and (3) are
consistent with the purposes and
policies set forth in section 2 of the
ESA. Authority to take listed species is
subject to conditions set forth in the
permits. Permits and modifications are
issued in accordance with and are
subject to the ESA and NMFS
regulations governing listed fish and
wildlife permits (50 CFR parts 222–226).
Those individuals requesting a
hearing on an application listed in this
notice should set out the specific
reasons why a hearing on that
application would be appropriate (see
ADDRESSES). The holding of such a
hearing is at the discretion of the
Assistant Administrator for Fisheries,
NOAA. All statements and opinions
contained in the permit action
summaries are those of the applicant
and do not necessarily reflect the views

amending the system of records
currently listed under ‘‘COMMERCE/
PAT–TM–10 Patent Deposit Accounts
System.’’ This action is being taken to
update the Privacy Act notice and to
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 amendments will become effective
as proposed on August 7, 2006, unless
the USPTO receives comments that
would result in a contrary
determination.
You may submit written
comments by any of the following

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
entirety below.
