Request of the United States Patent
and Trademark Office for Public
Comments: Voluntary Best Practices
Study
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for public
comments.
AGENCY:
Today, the Intellectual
Property Enforcement Coordinator
(IPEC) released the Administration’s
Joint Strategic Plan for Intellectual
Property Enforcement. The Strategy
notes that the Administration
encourages the private sector to help
reduce intellectual property
infringement that occurs online—such
as copyright piracy and trademark
counterfeiting—by developing and
implementing cooperative, voluntary
initiatives that are practical, effective
and consistent with due process, free
speech, privacy of users and
competition. The Administration
encourages all participants in such
voluntary initiatives to continue
cooperating with all interested
stakeholders to ensure that the
initiatives are as effective and
transparent as possible. (The 2013 Joint
Strategic Plan for Intellectual Property
Enforcement is available at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
intellectualproperty/ipec.)
Consistent with the Administration’s
policy of building a data-driven
government, the Strategy stresses the
importance of evaluating the
effectiveness of the voluntary initiatives
encouraged by the Administration. The
Strategy also notes that the United
States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) will solicit input from the
public and from other parts of the U.S.
Government to assist in the evaluation
of whether such voluntary initiatives
help to reduce infringement.
DATES: To be ensured of consideration,
written comments must be received on
or before July 22, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be submitted electronically via https://
www.regulations.gov, docket number
PTO–2013–0036. Submissions should
contain the term ‘‘Voluntary Best
Practices Study.’’ The regulations.gov
Web site is a Federal E-Government
Web site that allows the public to find,
review and submit comments on

The
USPTO invites input from all interested
parties on the processes, data metrics,
and methodologies that could be used to
assess the effectiveness of cooperative
agreements and other voluntary
initiatives to reduce infringement. The
USPTO additionally welcomes input on
the following questions:
1. How should ‘‘effectiveness’’ of
cooperative voluntary initiatives be
defined?
2. What type of data would be
particularly useful for measuring
effectiveness of voluntary initiatives
aimed at reducing infringement and
what would that data show?
3. If the data is not readily available,
in what ways could it be obtained?
4. Are there particular impediments to
measuring effectiveness, at this time or
in general, and if so, what are they?
5. What mechanisms should be
employed to assist in measuring the
effectiveness of voluntary initiatives?
6. Is there existing data regarding
efficacy of particular practices,
processes or methodologies for
voluntary initiatives, and if so, what is
it and what does it show?

Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing, documents may also be
paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an
original and seven copies to: Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

20426. Please include the project
number (P–459–313) on any comments,
motions, or recommendations filed.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice

filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: As required
by the November 10, 2011 Order on
Rehearing and Amending Shoreline
Management Plan, ordering paragraph
(E)(2), Ameren filed its comprehensive
report describing encroachments
(privately-built non-conforming
structures) within the revised project
boundary. These encroachments are
accessory structures built after March
28, 2008, such as decks, walkways,
gazebos, patios, and boathouses, and do
not include residential structures. The
report does not include structures built
where owners had the right to construct
them, or those that have been previously
permitted by Ameren or its
predecessors. The report only addresses
unpermitted structures built without
authorization from Ameren and without
an appropriate property right. Ameren’s
report indicates that none of the
encroachments interfere with project
purposes, and therefore no structures
will need to be removed.
l. Locations of the Application: A
copy of the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street NE., Room
