Request for Comments and Notice of Roundtable on Work Sharing for Patent Applications
In an effort to avoid duplication of work and to expedite the patent examination process, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has been developing work-sharing initiatives in which an office uses, to the maximum extent practicable, the work already done by another office. The USPTO is conducting a roundtable to obtain input from diverse sources in the patent community and/or the public sector to evaluate views on work sharing. The roundtable is open to the public. The USPTO plans to invite a number of roundtable participants from patent user groups, practitioners, industry, independent inventor organizations, academia, and Government. To ensure that the USPTO is receiving a balanced array of views on work sharing, the USPTO also plans to have a few ``at-large'' participants based upon requests received in response to this notice. To ensure that all who are speaking will have a meaningful chance to do so, the number of participants in the roundtable is limited. Those who wish to participate in the roundtable must do so by written request. Members of the public who wish solely to attend and observe the roundtable need not submit a request.

Anthropomorphic Test Devices; Hybrid III 6-Year-Old Child Test Dummy
Today's NPRM proposes two changes to the agency's specifications for the Hybrid III six-year-old child dummy. In Part 1 of this NPRM, to improve the durability of the dummy's femurs, we propose changes to the design of and material used for the femur assembly.

Part 2 of this rulemaking commenced in response to a petition for rulemaking submitted by Denton ATD (Denton) and First Technology Safety Systems (FTSS). This document declines the petitioners' suggestion to investigate tolerances for vinyl and rubber components of the dummy and to specify the expected time frame each part would meet the tolerances.

Amendments to Rules Requiring Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
We are proposing changes to the proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to improve the notice and access model for furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. Specifically, we are proposing revisions to our rules to provide additional flexibility regarding the format of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials that is sent to shareholders. We are also providing guidance about the current requirement for the Notice to identify the matters intended to be acted on at the shareholders' meeting. In addition to the proposed changes and guidance regarding the format of the Notice, we are proposing a new rule that will permit issuers and soliciting shareholders to include explanatory materials regarding the process of receiving and reviewing proxy materials and voting. Finally, we are proposing revisions to the timeframe for delivering a Notice to shareholders when a soliciting person other than the issuer relies on the notice-only option.
