However, if the first sale to the unaffiliated customer is made by a person in the United States affiliated with the foreign exporter, constructed export price applies even if the sale occurs prior to importation. • Please include any sales exported by your company directly to the United States; • Please include any sales exported by your company to a third-country market economy reseller where you had knowledge that the merchandise was destined to be resold to the United States. • If you are a producer of subject merchandise, please include any sales manufactured by your company that were subsequently exported by an affiliated exporter to the United States. • Please do not include any sales of subject merchandise manufactured in Hong Kong in your figures. Further Manufactured: • Sales of further manufactured or assembled (including re-packaged) merchandise is merchandise that undergoes further manufacture or assembly in the United States before being sold to the first unaffiliated customer. • Further manufacture or assembly costs include amounts incurred for direct materials, labor and overhead, plus amounts for general and administrative expense, interest expense, and additional packing expense incurred in the country of further manufacture, as well as all costs involved in moving the product from the U.S. port of entry to the further manufacturer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This is a request for renewal of a generic clearance for voluntary customer surveys to be conducted by NOAA program offices, and is submitted following the guidelines contained in the OMB Resource Manual for Customer Surveys. In accordance with Executive Order 12862, the National Performance Review, and good management practices, NOAA offices seek approval to continue to gather customer feedback on services and/or products, which can be used in planning for service/product modification and prioritization. Under this generic clearance, individual offices would use approved questionnaires and develop new questionnaires, as needed, by selecting subsets of the approved set of collection questions and tailoring those specific questions to be meaningful for their particular programs. These proposed questionnaires would then be submitted to OMB using a fast-track request for approval process. The generic clearance will not be used to survey any bodies NOAA regulates unless precautions are taken to ensure that the respondents believe that they are not under any risk for not responding or for the contents of their responses; e.g., in no survey to such a population will the names and addresses of respondents be required. Currently there are no such surveys being submitted for approval. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). ACTION: Notice. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES AGENCY: II.

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. Registered marks remain on the register indefinitely so long as the owner of the registration files the necessary maintenance documents. PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20257 Such individuals and businesses may also submit various communications to the USPTO regarding their pending applications or registered trademarks, including providing additional information needed to process a pending application, filing amendments to the applications, or filing the papers necessary to keep a trademark in force. In the majority of circumstances, individuals and businesses retain attorneys to handle these matters. As such, these parties may also submit communications to the USPTO regarding the appointment of attorneys of record or domestic representatives to represent applicants in the application process, the revocation of an attorney ’s appointment, and requests for permission to withdraw from representation. Applicants and registrants may also submit change of owner’s address forms requesting that the USPTO amend the record of an application or registration by entering a new address for the applicant or registrant. The rules implementing the Trademark Act are set forth in 37 CFR Part 2. In addition to governing the registration of trademarks, the Act and rules also govern the appointments and revocations of attorneys and domestic representatives. The trademark rules provide the specifics for filing requests for permission to withdraw as the attorney of record. The requirements for changes of the owner’s address are not governed by the trademark rules, but are outlined in the USPTO’s procedures. The information in this collection is available to the public. The information in this collection can be submitted in paper format or electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). However, there are no official paper forms for these items. Individuals and businesses can submit their own paper forms, following the USPTO’s rules and guidelines to ensure that all of the necessary information is provided. This collection contains three electronic forms. II. Method of Collection Electronically if applicants submit the information using the TEAS forms. By mail or hand delivery if applicants choose to submit the information in paper form. III. Data OMB Number: 0651–0056. Form Number(s): PTO Forms 2196, 2197, and 2201. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. E:\FR\FM\15APN1.SGM 15APN1

4,650,787; Sanvar[supreg]

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Department of 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Interim Patent Term Extension.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued an 
order granting interim extension under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a fourth 
one-year interim extension of the term of U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary C. Till by telephone at (571) 
272-7755; by mail marked to her attention and addressed to the 
Commissioner for Patents, Mail Stop Hatch-Waxman PTE, P.O. Box 1450,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 156 of Title 35, United States Code, 
generally provides that the term of a patent may be extended for a 
period of

[[Page 20257]]

up to five years if the patent claims a product, or a method of making 
or using a product, that has been subject to certain defined regulatory 
review, and that the patent may be extended for interim periods of up 
to a year if the regulatory review is anticipated to extend beyond the 
expiration date of the patent.
    On March 24, 2008, Debiovision Inc., the exclusive agent of 
Debiopharm S.A. and Debio Recherche Pharmaceutique S.A., who is the 
exclusive licensee of the Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund 
of New Orleans, Louisiana, the patent owner, timely filed an 
application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a fourth interim extension of 
the term of U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787. The patent claims the human drug 
product Sanvar[supreg] (vapreotide acetate). The application indicates 
that a New Drug Application for the human drug product Sanvar[supreg] 
(vapreotide acetate) has been filed and is currently undergoing 
regulatory review before the Food and Drug Administration for 
permission to market or use the product commercially.
    Review of the application indicates that except for permission to 
market or use the product commercially, the subject patent would be 
eligible for an extension of the patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156, and 
that the patent should be extended for an additional one year as 
required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). Because it is apparent that the 
regulatory review period will continue beyond the extended expiration 
date of the patent (April 25, 2008), a fourth interim extension of the 
patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is appropriate.
    A fourth interim extension under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of 
U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787 is granted for a period of one year from the 
extended expiration date of the patent, i.e., until April 25, 2009.

    Dated: April 9, 2008.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of
