Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 16 / Friday, January 24, 2014 / Proposed Rules
identified in the 2007 Strategic
Assessment as described above. In
addition, the national LLRW program
continues to evolve. To set the direction
for the NRC’s LLRW regulatory program
in the next several years, the NRC staff
will begin developing a new Strategic
Assessment of the NRC’s LLRW
program. The new assessment will
provide opportunities for stakeholder
engagement.
TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
II. NRC Public Workshop
The purpose of this public workshop
is to discuss the status of an on-going
rulemaking effort to revise 10 CFR part
61 and gather information on the update
to the 2007 Strategic Assessment of the
NRC’s LLRW regulatory program from
interested members of the public. This
overall approach is consistent with the
NRC’s openness policy. The March 7,
2014, public workshop will be
organized into two parts. In the first
part, the NRC staff will discuss the
status of the proposed revisions to 10
CFR part 61. In the second part, a panel
of invited experts will discuss
developments that would affect the
LLRW regulatory program in the next 5–
7 years, including changes to the
national landscape in the LLRW area
that would affect licensees and sited
States in the context of safety, security,
and the protection of the environment.
Following each of the two parts of the
workshop, interested members of the
public will have an opportunity to pose
questions and comment.

The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (Office) is proposing
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
4105
changes to the rules of practice to
facilitate the examination of patent
applications and to provide greater
transparency concerning the ownership
of patent applications and patents. This
initiative is one of a number of
executive actions issued by the
Administration that are designed to
ensure the highest-quality patents,
enhance competition by providing the
public with more complete information
about the competitive environment in
which innovators operate, enhance
technology transfer and reduce the costs
of transactions for patent rights by
making patent ownership information
more readily and easily available,
reduce abusive patent litigation by
helping the public defend itself against
frivolous litigation, and level the
playing field for innovators. The Office
is proposing in this document to require
that the attributable owner, including
the ultimate parent entity, be identified
during the pendency of a patent
application and at specified times
during the life of a patent. The Office is
specifically proposing that the
attributable owner be identified on
filing of an application (or shortly
thereafter), when there is a change in
the attributable owner during the
pendency of an application, at the time
of issue fee and maintenance fee
payments, and when a patent is
involved in supplemental examination,
ex parte reexamination, or a trial
proceeding before the Patent Trial and
Appeal Board (PTAB). The Office is also
seeking comments on whether the
Office should enable patent applicants
and owners to voluntarily report
licensing offers and related information
to the Office, which the Office will then
make available to the public in an
accessible online format.
DATES: Comment deadline date: Written
comments must be received on or before
March 25, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent
by electronic mail message over the
Internet addressed to: AC90.comments@
