Warfield, Staff Assistant. [FR Doc. E8–18333 Filed 8–5–08; 4:15 pm] BILLING CODE 3510–16–P sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Revision of the Code of Federal Regulations. The provisions 37 CFR 1.105(a)(1)(ix), 1.114(f), (g), and (h), 1.117, 1.142(c), 1.265, and 1.704(c)(11) as added by the Claims and Continuations Final Rule are not in effect as of August 7, 2008. The USPTO anticipates that it will be some time before the litigation concerning the Claims and Continuations Final Rule is finally resolved. The USPTO is concerned that some applicants may be taking preparatory action anticipating the new requirements of 37 CFR 1.78(f)(1) and (2), as added by the Claims and Continuations Final Rule, due to the possibility that the injunction by the district court in Tafas will be removed. The purpose of this notice is to aid applicants who might otherwise feel the need to take such preparatory actions by identifying the applicability date of the provisions of 37 CFR 1.78(f) in the event that the injunction by the district court in Tafas is removed. Specifically, the changes in 37 CFR 1.78(f)(1) and (f)(2) will only apply to applications filed on or after any new effective date that would be published by the USPTO after the removal of the injunction. Thus, in the event the referenced injunction is lifted, applicants will only need to comply with the identification requirements of 37 CFR 1.78(f)(1) in applications having an actual filing date on or after this new effective date. Likewise applicants will only have to identify other commonly owned applications that satisfy the conditions set forth in 37 CFR 1.78(f)(1)(i) in applications that have a filing date on or after this new effective date. Similarly, the rebuttable presumption of 37 CFR 1.78(f)(2) will only apply to applications having an actual filing date on or after the effective date. Furthermore, the rebuttable presumption will only exist with respect to an application that satisfies the conditions set forth in 37 CFR 1.78(f)(2)(i) and also has a filing date on or after this new effective date.

An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. The EA was prepared for an application filed by Erie Boulevard Hydropower, L.P on April 21, 2008, requesting the Commission’s authorization to permit the Saratoga County Water Authority (SCWA) to withdraw water at a rate of 14 million gallons per day from the Sherman Island reservoir for municipal use. The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from permitting the SCWA to withdraw water from the Sherman Island reservoir. The proposal would include the construction of a screened intake facility placed on the bottom of the reservoir and a section of buried pipe that would extend to a pumping station located outside the project boundary. The EA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ‘‘Order Approving Non-Project Use of Lands and Waters’’, issued July 30, 2008 and is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission’s Web site at https:// 16:49 Aug 06, 2008 Jkt 214001 www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.
