Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 209 / Monday, October 29, 2012 / Notices
exceed 100 pages. (See 37 CFR 1.52(f).)
Under 37 CFR 1.16(s) and 1.492(j) for
U.S. applications and international
applications entering the U.S. national
stage, respectively, if the application,
including the sequence listings filed on
paper or on a non-compliant electronic
medium, exceeds 100 pages, the
application size fee is $320 (or $160 for
small entities) for each additional 50
pages or fraction thereof. The USPTO
estimates that approximately 250
applications from large entities with
long sequence listings filed on paper or
on a non-compliant electronic medium
will incur an average application size
fee of $960, and approximately 200
applications from small entities with
long sequence listings filed on paper or
on a non-compliant electronic medium
will incur an average application size
fee of $480, for a total of $336,000 per
year.
As a Receiving Office, the USPTO
collects the international filing fee for
each international application it
receives. The basic international filing
fee only covers the first 30 pages of the
international application. As a result, a
$16 fee per page is added to the
international filing fee for each page
over 30 pages of an international
application including a sequence listing
filed on paper or in PDF format. No page
fees are triggered by sequence listings
that are submitted via EFS-Web in the
proper text format. The average length
of a sequence listing filed on paper or
in PDF format in an international
application is 150 pages, which would
carry an additional fee of $2,400 if the
international application were already
at least 30 pages long without the
listing. The USPTO estimates that
approximately 900 of the 8,500
sequence listings filed per year on paper
or in PDF format will be for
international applications, for a total of
$2,160,000 per year in page fees.
Therefore, this collection has a total of
$2,496,000 in fees per year.
Customers may incur postage costs
when submitting a sequence listing to
the USPTO by mail. Mailed submissions
may include the sequence listing on
either paper or CD, the CRF copy of the
listing on CD, and a transmittal letter
containing the required identifying
information. The USPTO estimates that
the average postage cost for a paper or
CD sequence listing submission will be
$5.15 and that 9,000 sequence listings
will be mailed to the USPTO per year,
for a total postage cost of $46,350 per
year.
The total annual (non-hour)
respondent cost burden for this
collection in the form of fees and

$2,542,350 per year.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, e.g., the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
