SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Abstract
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
plans to survey participants of the
Global Intellectual Property Academy
(GIPA) technical assistance programs.
The survey data will be collected in
order to obtain assessment data for the
U.S. Government’s accountability
process, better known as the PART, or
Program Assessment Rating Tool.
Assessment of the GIPA programs will
provide the USPTO information to
implement best practices and program
improvements, where necessary.
Participants will be limited to those
individuals, both national and
international, who have attended or are
attending GIPA training. These surveys
will be done in three parts: Pre-program,
post-program, and alumnus. Program
participants will be asked to complete
the pre-program survey immediately
prior to their program, the post-program
survey immediately after the program,
and the alumni survey approximately
one year after the program. The surveys
are expected to be conducted online
using a recognized survey partner, the
Federal Consulting Group.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Participants will access the online
survey through links provided in emails or through the USPTO Web site.
Participants will not need usernames,
passwords, or survey ID numbers to
access the online survey.
Survey responses will be kept
confidential. The USPTO does not
intend to collect any personal
identifying data from participants taking
the survey. Data collected from the
survey will be linked to the participants.
The USPTO intends to maintain contact
information for the participants in a
separate file from the quantitative data.
The USPTO expects to follow-up with
participants who do not respond to the
survey. Participants who do not respond
will be contacted up to three times.
II. Method of collection
Electronically over the Internet or by
e-mail. In-person surveys may
potentially be conducted.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–00xx.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: New collection.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,500 responses per year (500
participants × 3 surveys each).
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take
approximately 20 minutes (0.33 hours)
for participants to provide their
responses. This estimate includes the
time to gather the necessary
information, complete the survey, and
submit it to the USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 495 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Cost Burden: $71,775. The audience for
the GIPA training programs typically
consists of high-ranking government
officials, judges, lawyers, examiners,
and others. The USPTO estimates that
roughly 20% of the attendees fall into
the high-ranking categories, while the
rest make up 80% of the attendees. The
USPTO estimates that the hourly labor
rate for 20% of the attendees would be
roughly equivalent to the professional
hourly rate of $325, while the rest
would be roughly equivalent to the
para-professional rate of $100. Using
these U.S. hourly rates, the USPTO
estimates a professional hourly rate of
$65 (20% of $325) and a paraprofessional rate of $80 (80% of $100),
for a total hourly rate of $145. Using the
total hourly rate, the USPTO estimates
$71,775 per year for salary costs
associated with respondents.
