ACTION: Issuance of permit.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Dr.
Chester Figiel, Principal Investigator),
5308 Spring Street, Warm Springs, GA
31830, has been issued a permit to take
captive shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser
brevirostrum) for purposes of
enhancement and scientific research.
ADDRESSES: The permit and related
documents are available for review
upon written request or by appointment
in the following offices:
Permits, Conservation and Education
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, 1315 East-West Highway, Room
13705, Silver Spring, MD 20910; phone

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Malcolm Mohead, or Jennifer Skidmore
(301)713–2289.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
13, 2007, notice was published in the
Federal Register (72 FR 18636) that a
request for an enhancement and
scientific research permit to take captive
shortnose sturgeon had been submitted
by the above-named organization. The
requested permit has been issued under
the authority of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
The primary objective is to utilize the
available captive brood stock population
to provide information needed for
implementation of recovery efforts, as
described in the ‘‘Final Recovery Plan
for the Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser
brevirostrum)’’ (NMFS, 1998). Captive

shortnose sturgeon will be maintained,
conditioned, spawned and the gametes
and progeny used for scientific studies,
such as cryo-preservation, genetics,
culture techniques, behavioral studies,
nutrition, and tagging techniques. An
additional study characterizing the
genetic strains of sturgeon in rivers of
the Southeast Atlantic coast will be
accomplished using tissues samples
archived at the NOAA/NOS Laboratory
in Charleston, South Carolina. This
project will not require any further takes
from the wild or any release of captive
sturgeon into the wild. The permit is
authorized for five years.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
subject modification to Permit No. 1526,
issued on August 1, 2005 (70 FR 44091)
is requested under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and
the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR 222–
226).
Permit No. 1526 authorizes the permit
holder to study Kemp’s ridley,
loggerhead, green, and hawksbill sea
turtles in the Gulf of Mexico to identify
their relative abundance over time;
detect changes in sea turtle size
composition; document movement and
migration patterns; and determine the
role of nearshore habitats in sea turtle
survival. The permit holder is asking to
extend his current annual authorization
to take 50 juvenile and 50 sub-adult
green sea turtles in Laguna Madre,
Texas through year 2010 in order to
generate more robust population
estimates, yield a larger sample size for
estimating growth rates and residency
and fidelity in constituent habitats, and
increase the potential to recapture
turtles for additional information. The
permit holder also requests
authorization to attach satellite
transmitters to 20 animals annually and
to collect biopsy samples from 150
animals annually for stable isotope
analysis through year 2010 to learn
more about habitat preference and
residency. All animals would be
captured in Texas waters in the manner
already authorized under Permit No.
1526.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This collection of information is
required by the Trademark Act Sections
13, 14, and 20, 15 U.S.C. 1063, 1064,
and 1070, respectively. Under the
Trademark Act, any individual or entity
that adopts a trademark or service mark
to identify its goods or services may
apply to federally register its mark.
Section 14 of the Trademark Act allows
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
29133
individuals and entities to file a petition
to cancel a registration of a mark, while
Section 13 allows individuals and
entities who believe that they would be
damaged by the registration of a mark to
file an opposition, or an extension of
time to file an opposition, to the
registration of a mark. Section 20 of the
Trademark Act allows individuals and
entities to file an appeal from any final
decision of the Trademark Examining
Attorney assigned to review an
application for registration of a mark.
The USPTO administers the
Trademark Act pursuant to 37 CFR part
2, which contains the various rules that
govern the filing of petitions to cancel
the registrations of marks, notices of
opposition to the registration of a mark,
extensions of time to file an opposition,
appeals, and other papers filed in
connection with inter partes and ex
partes proceedings. These petitions,
notices, extensions, and additional
papers are filed with the Trademark
Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
The information in this collection can
be submitted in paper format or
electronically through the Electronic
System for Trademark Trials and
Appeals (ESTTA). There are no paper
forms associated with this collection.
However, the TTAB has suggested
formats for the Petition to Cancel and
the Notice of Opposition that
individuals and entities can use when
submitting these petitions and notices to
the TTAB. These are not forms and, as
such, do not have form numbers. If
applicants or entities wish to submit the
petitions, notices, extensions, and
additional papers in inter partes and ex
parte cases electronically, they must use
the forms provided through ESTTA.
Oppositions to extensions of protection
under the Madrid Protocol (or requests
for extensions to time to oppose) must
be filed electronically through ESTTA.
This collection contains two suggested
formats and six electronic forms.
The additional papers filed in inter
partes and ex parte proceedings can be
filed in paper or electronically.
Although the number of paper filings
are decreasing in favor of electronic
filings, there are still a substantial
number of paper submissions.
Therefore, the USPTO is taking this
opportunity to add the paper
submissions of the additional papers
that are filed in inter partes and ex parte
proceedings into the collection.

electronically through ESTTA when a
party files a petition to cancel a
