SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
published a final rule in the Federal
Register of August 22, 2007 (72 FR
46899), entitled ‘‘Revision of Patent
Fees for Fiscal Year 2007.’’ In that final
rule, there was a mathematical error in
the computation of fees payable under
37 CFR 1.17(a)(4) and (a)(5). This
document amends the final rule with
the correct fees. Additionally, the text of
existing 37 CFR 1.492(b)(2) through
(b)(4) was inadvertently changed in that
final rule. This document corrects the
text of 37 CFR 1.492(b)(2) through (b)(4)
in that final rule.
Section 553(d) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(d))
ordinarily requires a 30-day delay in the
effective date of final rules after the date
of their publication in the Federal
Register. This 30-day delay in effective
date can be waived, however, if an
agency finds for good cause that the
delay is impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest. The
changes in 37 CFR 1.17(a)(4) and (a)(5)
reflect a technical error in the
computation of the payable fee. The
changes in 37 CFR 1.492(b)(2) through
(b)(4) do not change the fee amounts
from the final rule published on August
22, 2007, but merely correct the
language consistent with the existing
and intended text. The Office finds it
impracticable to have a 30-day delayed
effective date for these technical
corrections as the Office must charge the
correct fees as of the effective date.
Furthermore, the Office finds that it is
in the public’s interest to correct the
changes in text where no change is
intended. Therefore, the Office is
waiving the 30-day delay in effective
date for the technical and computational
corrections in this notice.
