Extension of the Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provides a basis (the Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan) under which an applicant may have an application accorded special status for examination if the applicant expressly abandons another copending unexamined application. The Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan allows applicants having multiple applications currently pending before the USPTO to have greater control over the priority with which their applications are examined while also stimulating a reduction of the backlog of unexamined patent applications pending before the USPTO. The USPTO is extending the Patent Application Backlog Reduction Stimulus Plan until December 31, 2011.

Social Security Disability Program Demonstration Project: Benefit Offset National Demonstration (BOND)
We are announcing the following demonstration project relating to the Social Security disability program under title II of the Social Security Act (Act). Under this project, we will test modifications to current title II program rules that we apply to beneficiaries who work and receive title II benefits based on disability. We will also modify current rules for paying outcome payments to providers of services under the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency program (Ticket to Work program). We are conducting this project, called the Benefit Offset National Demonstration (BOND), under the demonstration authority provided in section 234 of the Act. In this project, we are testing the use of a benefit offset based on earnings as an alternative to certain rules that we currently apply to title II disability beneficiaries who work. Under the benefit offset, we will reduce title II disability benefits by $1 for every $2 that a beneficiary earns above a substantial gainful activity threshold amount. This alternative rule will allow a beneficiary to receive reduced benefit payments when we would ordinarily stop payments under our usual rules because of the beneficiary's work and earnings. In selecting beneficiaries to participate in the project, we will include some beneficiaries who receive only title II disability benefits. We also will include some beneficiaries who receive both title II disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) based on disability or blindness under title XVI of the Act. However, we are only modifying title II program rules for beneficiaries who participate in the project. We will continue to apply the usual SSI program rules for participants who receive SSI payments in addition to title II disability benefits.
Public Meetings of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Reform Effort; Correction
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) published a document in the Federal Register on November 10, 2010 (75 FR 69096), announcing two public meetings. The document contained an incorrect e- mail address. Due to the incorrect e-mail address, FEMA is lengthening the amount of time that the public has to contact FEMA to request special accommodations. FEMA has chosen to republish the corrected notice in its entirety. This notice announces two public meetings of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Reform Effort. In performing its mission, FEMA believes it is important to continually update stakeholders on its programs and answer any questions and listen to comments from them on how its programs can be more efficient and effective at meeting the needs of the public. To this end, FEMA has engaged in a comprehensive reform effort to address the concerns of the wide array of stakeholders involved in the ongoing debate about the NFIP. FEMA chose a participatory policy analysis framework to guide the NFIP Reform effort. Policy analysis employs systematic inquiry and evaluation to assess policy alternatives. The participatory policy analysis process allows public decisions to be made in a structured, defensible, and collaborative manner. The effort is comprised of three phases designed to engage the greatest number of stakeholders and consider the largest breadth of public policy options. Phase I focused on the capture and analysis of stakeholder concerns and recommendations. During Phase II, FEMA performed additional analysis of existing data and identified a set of evaluation criteria. In Phase III, a portfolio of public policy alternatives is being developed and will be analyzed using the evaluation criteria. The resulting recommendations will be reported to FEMA leadership. The purpose of the public meetings is to describe, update, and explain straw man policy alternatives and to answer questions and listen to comments from interested stakeholders. Additional information on the straw man policy alternatives has been made available prior to the meeting via the NFIP Reform website and has been posted to Docket ID: FEMA-2010-0065. In addition, through these public meetings, FEMA will accept stakeholder input of the policy evaluation process through the use of a pair-wise comparison method. The pair-wise tool is also available via the NFIP Reform Web site at https://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/nfip_ reform.shtm.
