Chapter 35). Agency: United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Title: Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Certificate Action Form. Form Number(s): PTO–2042. Agency Approval Number: 0651– 0045. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Burden: 1,383 hours annually. Number of Respondents: 4,126 responses per year. Avg. Hours Per Response: The USPTO estimates that it will take the public approximately 30 minutes (0.5 hours) to read the instructions and subscriber agreement, gather the necessary information, prepare the Certificate Action Form, and submit the completed request. The USPTO estimates that it will take the public approximately 10 minutes (0.17 hours) to complete and electronically submit the information required for certificate self-recovery. Needs and Uses: The USPTO uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to support electronic commerce between the USPTO and its customers. In order to access secure online systems offered by the USPTO for transactions such as electronic filing of patent applications and retrieving confidential patent application information, customers must first obtain a digital certificate. The public uses this collection to request a new digital certificate, the revocation of a current certificate, or the recovery of a lost certificate. This collection includes the existing Certificate Action Form (PTO– 2042), which is provided by the USPTO to ensure that customers submit the necessary information for processing certificate requests. The accompanying PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 subscriber agreement explains the regulations governing the use of the digital certificates and the software that creates and validates the encryption keys. The online self-recovery form allows the public to recover lost keys without having to contact support staff at the USPTO. Affected Public: Individuals or households; businesses or other forprofits; and not-for-profit institutions. Frequency: On occasion. Respondent’s Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits. OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas A. Fraser, e-mail: Nicholas_A._Fraser@omb.eop.gov. Once submitted, the request will be publicly available in electronic format through the Information Collection Review page at https://www.reginfo.gov. Paper copies can be obtained by: • E-mail: Susan.Fawcett@uspto.gov. Include ‘‘0651–0045 PKI Certificate Action Form copy request’’ in the subject line of the message. • Fax: 571–273–0112, marked to the attention of Susan K. Fawcett. • Mail: Susan K. Fawcett, Records Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Customer Information Services Group, Public Information Services Division, United States Patent and Trademark Office, P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Authority: Section 203(o)(4) of the Dominican Republic-Central 
America-United States Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act 
(CAFTA-DR Act); the Statement of Administrative Action (SAA), 
accompanying the CAFTA-DR Act; Presidential Proclamations 7987 
(February 28, 2006) and 7996 (March 31, 2006).

BACKGROUND:

    The CAFTA-DR Agreement provides a list in Annex 3.25 for fabrics, 
yarns, and fibers that the Parties to the CAFTA-DR Agreement have 
determined are not available in commercial quantities in a timely 
manner in the territory of any Party. The CAFTA-DR Agreement provides 
that this list may be modified pursuant to Article 3.25(4)-(5), when 
the President of the United States determines that a fabric, yarn, or 
fiber is not available in commercial quantities in a timely manner in 
the territory of any Party. See Annex 3.25, Note; see also section 
203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Act.
    The CAFTA-DR Act requires the President to establish procedures 
governing the submission of a request and providing opportunity for 
interested entities to submit comments and supporting evidence before a 
commercial availability determination is made. In Presidential 
Proclamations 7987 and 7996, the President delegated to CITA the 
authority under section 203(o)(4) of CAFTA-DR Act for modifying the 
Annex 3.25 list. On September 15, 2008, CITA published modified 
procedures it would follow in considering requests to modify the Annex 
3.25 list (73 FR 53200) (``Procedures'').
    On December 1, 2008, the Chairman of CITA received a Request for a 
commercial availability determination (``Request'') under the CAFTA-DR 
from Sorini Samet & Associates, LLC, on behalf of Hansoll Textile, 
Ltd., for certain printed raschel knit open work crepe fabric. On 
December 2, 2008, in accordance with CITA's Procedures, CITA notified 
interested parties of the Request and posted the Request on the 
dedicated website for CAFTA-DR Commercial Availability proceedings. In 
its notification, CITA advised that any Response with an Offer to 
Supply (``Response'') must be submitted by December 15, 2008, and any 
Rebuttal be submitted by December 19, 2008. No interested entity 
submitted a Response advising CITA of its objection to the Request and 
its ability to supply the subject product.
    In accordance with section 203(o)(4)(C) of the CAFTA-DR Act, and 
CITA's Procedures, as no interested entity submitted a Response 
objecting to the Request and demonstrating its ability to supply the 
subject product, CITA has determined to add the specified fabric to the 
list in Annex 3.25 of the CAFTA-DR Agreement.
    The subject product has been added to the list in Annex 3.25 of the 
CAFTA-DR Agreement in unrestricted quantities. A revised list has been 
posted on the dedicated website for CAFTA-DR Commercial Availability
