Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2014 / Notices
[We] will treat the request to exclude
vessels using federally-maintained dredged
port entrance channels from the speed
restrictions as a petition for rulemaking
under the Administrative Procedure Act,
though this is not required nor is it NMFS’
normal practice. We plan to issue a Notice in
the Federal Register announcing receipt of
the petition, along with a concise statement
of the request and seek comment on the
request. If NMFS decides to proceed with the
suggested rulemaking, we will notify the
petitioner within 120 days, publish a notice
in the Federal Register of our decision to
engage in rulemaking in a prompt manner,
and thereafter proceed in accordance with
the requirements for rulemaking. If NMFS
decides not to proceed with the petitioned
rulemaking, we will notify the petitioner,
provide a brief statement of the grounds for
the decision, and publish in the Federal
Register a notice of our decision not to
proceed with the petitioned action.
Therefore, NMFS is issuing this notice
to solicit comments and information on
all issues related to the petition to
exclude federally-maintained dredged
entrance channels and pilot boarding
areas (and the immediately adjacent
waters) for ports from New York to
Jacksonville from vessel speed
restrictions to protect North Atlantic
right whales.
Please include scientific or
commercial data, studies, or research to
support your comments and position,
including scientific data or research that
supports any pertinent industry or
professional standards, or specific
examples in support of your comments,
to aid NMFS in evaluating the request
for rulemaking and in determining what
action, if any, is appropriate. We will
consider all comments and
recommendations in determining
whether to engage in the suggested
rulemaking and thereafter will proceed
as described above.
Authority: 5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.

Agency Approval Number: 0651–
0032.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden: 15,076,442 hours annually.
Number of Respondents: 597,047
responses per year. The USPTO
estimates that approximately 157,950 of
these responses will be from small
entities (this estimate reflects a 25%
small entity response rate for all items
in the collection except for designrelated items in the collection, for
which a 50% small entity response rate
is estimated). The USPTO estimates that
577,624 responses will be filed
electronically.
Avg. Hours per Response: The USPTO
estimates that it will take the public
approximately 30 minutes (0.50 hours)
to 40 hours to complete the
applications, petitions, and additional
papers in this collection, depending on
the complexity of the request. This
includes the time to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
application, petition, or other papers,
and submit the completed request to the
USPTO. The USPTO assumes that, on
balance it takes the same amount of time
to gather the necessary information,
prepare the application, petition, or
other papers, and submit the completed
request to the USPTO, whether the
applicant submits it in paper form or
electronically.
Needs and Uses: This collection of
information is required by 35 U.S.C. 131
and 37 CFR 1.16 through 1.84 and
1.495(b). Each patent applicant must
provide sufficient information to allow
the USPTO to properly examine the
application, petition, or paper to
determine whether the application,
petition, or paper meets the criteria set
forth in the patent statutes and
regulations. The various fee and
application transmittal forms, the
declarations, the cover sheets, the
petitions, and the papers filed under 37
CFR 1.41, 1.48, and 1.53(c)(2) permit

applicants to supply all of the
information necessary to process the
application and enables the USPTO to
ensure that all of the information has
been provided in order to process the
application.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofits; non-profit institutions; and the
Federal Government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
