LNG Port facility for the period between
May 8, 2007, and May 7, 2008, with
construction activities limited from May
to November 2007, would not have
impacts beyond what was analyzed in
the biological opinion so additional
consultation was not required. An
incidental take statement (ITS) was
issued following NMFS’ issuance of the
IHA.
On November 15, 2007, Northeast
Gateway and Algonquin submitted a
letter to NMFS requesting an extension
for the LNG Port construction into
December 2007. Upon reviewing
Northeast Gateway’s weekly marine
mammal monitoring reports submitted
under the previous IHA, NMFS
recognized that the potential take of
some marine mammals resulting from
the LNG Port and Pipeline Lateral by
Level B behavioral harassment likely
had exceeded the original take
estimates. Therefore, NMFS Northeast
Region (NER) reinitiated consultation
with MARAD and USCG on the
construction and operation of the
Northeast Gateway LNG facility, based
on their proposed action to issue revised
permits allowing construction to
continue through December 2007 and
including the mitigation measures that
are also included as part of the IHA
modification, and the fact that the takes
associated with the project likely had
exceeded the amount of take in the ITS
of the February 5, 2007, biological
opinion. On November 30, 2007, NMFS
NER issued a revised biological opinion,
reflecting the revised construction time
period and including a revised ITS. This
revised biological opinion concluded
that the construction and operation of
the Northeast Gateway LNG terminal
may adversely affect, but is not likely to
jeopardize, the continued existence of
northern right, humpback, and fin
whales, and is not likely to adversely
affect sperm, sei, or blue whales. NMFS
has concluded that issuance of this
proposed IHA renewal would not have
impacts beyond what was analyzed in
the November 30, 2007, biological
opinion, so additional consultation is
not required.

National Environmental Policy Act
MARAD and the USCG released a
Final EIS/Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) for the proposed Northeast
Gateway Port and Pipeline Lateral. A
notice of availability was published by
MARAD on October 26, 2006 (71 FR
62657). The Final EIS/EIR provides
detailed information on the proposed
project facilities, construction methods
and analysis of potential impacts on
marine mammal.

NMFS was a cooperating agency (as
defined by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1501.6))
in the preparation of the Draft and Final
EISs. NMFS has reviewed the Final EIS
and has adopted it. Therefore, the
preparation of another EIS or EA is not
warranted.
Preliminary Determinations
NMFS has preliminarily determined
that the impact of operation of the
Northeast Gateway Port Project may
result, at worst, in a temporary
modification in behavior of small
numbers of certain species of marine
mammals that may be in close
proximity to the Northeast Gateway
LNG facility and associated pipeline
during its operation. These activities are
expected to result in some local shortterm displacement and will have no
more than a negligible impact on the
affected species or stocks of marine
mammals. Taking these two factors
together, NMFS concludes that there
will be no biologically significant effects
on the survival and reproduction of
these species or stocks. Please see
Estimate of Take by Harassment section
below for the calculation of these take
numbers.
This preliminary determination is
supported by proposed mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting measures
described in this document and NMFS’
Biological Opinion on this action.
As a result of the described proposed
mitigation and monitoring measures, no
take by injury or death would be
requested, anticipated or authorized,
and the potential for temporary or
permanent hearing impairment is very
unlikely due to the relatively low noise
levels (and consequently small zone of
impact).
While the number of marine
mammals that may be harassed will
depend on the distribution and
abundance of marine mammals in the
vicinity of the LNG Port facility, the
estimated numbers of marine mammals
to be harassed is small relative to the
affected species or stock sizes.
Proposed Authorization
NMFS proposes to issue an IHA to
Northeast Gateway and Algonquin for
conducting LNG Port facility operations
in Massachusetts Bay, provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.
Information Solicited
NMFS requests interested persons to
submit comments and information

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 60 / Thursday, March 27, 2008 / Notices
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et
seq. which provides for the Federal
registration of trademarks, service
marks, collective trademarks and service
marks, collective membership marks,
and certification marks. Individuals and
businesses that use or intend to use
such marks in commerce may file an
application to register their marks with
the USPTO.
Such individuals and businesses may
also submit various communications to
the USPTO, including requests to
amend their registrations to delete goods
or services that are no longer being used
by the registrant. Registered marks
remain on the register for ten years and
can be renewed, but will be cancelled
unless the owner files with the USPTO
a declaration attesting to the continued
use (or excusable non-use) of the mark
in commerce within specific deadlines.
Applicants may also surrender a
registration and, in limited situations,
petition the Director to reinstate a
registration that has been cancelled.
The rules implementing the Act are
set forth in 37 CFR Part 2. These rules
mandate that each register entry include
the mark, the goods and/or services in
connection with which the mark is
used, ownership information, dates of
use, and certain other information. The
USPTO also provides similar
information concerning pending
applications. The register and pending
application information may be
accessed by an individual or by
businesses to determine availability of a
mark. By accessing the USPTO’s
information, parties may reduce the
possibility of initiating use of a mark
previously adopted by another. The
Federal trademark registration process
may lessen the filing of papers in court
and between parties.
II. Method of Collection
Electronically if applicants submit the
information using the forms available
through TEAS. By mail or hand delivery
if applicants choose to submit the
information in paper form.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0055.
Form Number(s): PTO Forms 4.16,
1553, 1583, 1597 and 1963.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Primarily business or
other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
106,030 per year.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take
approximately 3 minutes (0.05 hours) to
30 minutes (0.50 hours) to complete this
information. This includes the time to
gather the necessary information, create
the documents, and submit the
completed request to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 16,689 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost Burden: $5,073,456. The USPTO
believes that associate attorneys will
complete this information. The
professional hourly rate for associate
attorneys in private firms is $304. Using
this hourly rate, the USPTO estimates
that the total respondent cost burden for
this collection is $5,073,456.

filing fees are based on per class filing

total filing fees can vary depending on
the number of classes. There is a $100
filing fee for Section 7 Requests unless
the correction is due to a USPTO error,
in which case there is no fee. The
USPTO estimates that approximately
