Appvion withdrew its request for an
administrative review in its entirety. No
other party requested a review.
Rescission of Review
[FR Doc. 2014–10946 Filed 5–12–14; 8:45 am]
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested the
review withdraws its request within 90
days of the publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. In
this case, Appvion withdrew its request
within the 90-day deadline, and no
other party requested an administrative
review of the CVD order. Therefore, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
we are rescinding the administrative
review of LWTP from the PRC covering
the period January 1, 2012, through
December 31, 2012.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess CVDs on all entries of LWTP from
the PRC during the period of review,
January 1, 2012, through December 31,
2012, at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated CVDs required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et
seq., which provides for the Federal
registration of trademarks, service
marks, collective trademarks and service
marks, collective membership marks,
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and certification marks. Individuals and
businesses that use or intend to use
such marks in commerce may file an
application to register their marks with
the USPTO.
Such individuals and businesses may
also submit various communications to
the USPTO regarding their pending
applications or registered trademarks,
including providing additional
information needed to process a
pending application, filing amendments
to the applications, or filing the papers
necessary to keep a trademark in force.
In the majority of circumstances,
individuals and businesses retain
attorneys to handle these matters. As
such, these parties may also submit
communications to the USPTO
regarding the appointment of attorneys
of record to represent applicants in the
application process or, in the case of
applicants or registrants who are not
domiciled in the United States, the
appointment of domestic
representatives on whom may be served
notices or process in proceedings
affecting the mark, the revocation of an
attorney’s or domestic representative’s
appointment, and requests for
permission to withdraw from
representation.
The rules implementing the Act are
set forth in 37 CFR Part 2. In addition
to governing the registration of
trademarks, the Act and rules also
govern the appointments and
revocations of attorneys and domestic
representatives and provide the
specifics for filing requests for
permission to withdraw as the attorney
of record. The information in this
collection is available to the public.
The information in this collection can
be submitted in paper format or
electronically through the Trademark
Electronic Application System (TEAS).
The information in this collection can
be collected in three different formats:
Paper format, electronically using TEAS
forms with dedicated data fields, or
electronically using the TEAS Global
Form format. The TEAS Global Form
format permits the USPTO to collect
information electronically when a TEAS
form having dedicated data fields is not
yet available.
This collection currently has two
TEAS forms and two TEAS Global
Forms. There are no official paper forms
for the items in this collection.
Individuals and businesses can submit
their own paper forms, following the
USPTO’s rules and guidelines to ensure
that all of the necessary information is
provided.

AGENCY:
The purpose of this
notification is to inform users of an
upcoming event related to the Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellite
constellation. U.S. Air Force Space
Command will begin providing preoperational, Civil Navigation Message
(CNAV) populated L2C and L5 signals
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

beginning April 28, 2014 in a 2-phase
plan, as previously highlighted in a
Department of Transportation notice
that published in the Federal Register
on March 5, 2014 (79 FR 12563–12564).
Based on the response to the March 5,
2014 notice, and extensive discussion
and cooperation between the Office of
the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the
Department of Transportation, OSD has
approved a modification to U.S. Air
Force Space Command’s planned
implementation of CNAV. The public
should consider these broadcasts to be
‘‘use at one’s own risk,’’ since a fully
operational command and control and
signal monitoring infrastructure is not
yet in place.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Brigadier General David J. Buck, USAF,
Director of Air, Space and Cyberspace
Operations, Department of the Air
Force, Headquarters Air Force Space
Command, 150 Vandenberg Street, Suite
1105, Peterson AFB, CO 80914–4170.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
CNAV message broadcasts planned to
begin in April 2014 will be
implemented on all operational GPS
satellites capable of transmitting the
L2C and L5 signals. Currently, seven
GPS IIR–M satellites broadcast L2C and
four GPS IIF satellites broadcast L2C
and L5. On average, users may expect at
least one L2C-broadcasting satellite to
be in view at all times. The CNAV
message content will initially include
Broadcast Message Types (MT) 10, 11,
30, and 33 (as defined in Interface
Specification (IS)–GPS–200G and IS–
GPS–705C, see https://www.gps.gov/
technical/icwg/) in lieu of the currently
transmitted MT–0. The Air Force
intends to broadcast L2C messages with
the health bit set ‘‘healthy,’’ as was the
case during a June 2013 test. L5
messages will be set ‘‘unhealthy,’’ but as
greater experience with the L5 broadcast
and implementation of signal
monitoring is achieved, this status will
be reviewed and revisited. Should it be
determined to set the L5 health bit to
‘‘healthy,’’ advance notification will be
made to the public. The CNAV data
uploads will be integrated into current
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
operations, but initially uploads to each
appropriate satellite will occur only
twice per week. In December 2014,
CNAV uploads are planned to be at the
normal rate of once per day for each
appropriate satellite. Consequently,
users should expect L2C and L5 signals
with CNAV messages to provide
increased user range error compared to
legacy civil signals between April and
December 2014. After December 2014,
the user range error of the L2C and L5
signals with CNAV messages is
expected to meet or exceed that of
legacy signals. However, availability
will remain low and CNAV-derived user
position accuracy may be poor until
more L2C and L5 capable satellites are
operational. Future tests and
implementation of the remaining CNAV
message types will be announced under
separate Federal Register notices.
The pre-operational CNAV messages
are being made available for user
familiarization and for equipment
development. The messages will be
formatted in accordance with IS–GPS–
200G and IS–GPS–705C; however, a preoperational signal means the availability
and other characteristics of the
broadcast signal may not comply with
all requirements of the relevant Interface
Specifications. The signals should be
employed at the users’ own risk and
should not be used for safety-of-life or
other critical purposes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) administers
the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq., which provides for the
Federal registration of trademarks, service marks, collective
trademarks and service marks, collective membership marks, and
certification marks. Individuals and businesses that use or intend to
use such marks in commerce may file an application to register their
marks with the USPTO.
Such individuals and businesses may also submit various
communications to the USPTO regarding their pending applications or
registered trademarks, including providing additional information
needed to process a pending application, filing amendments to the
applications, or filing the papers necessary to keep a trademark in
force. In the majority of circumstances, individuals and businesses
retain attorneys to handle these matters. As such, these parties may
also submit communications to the USPTO regarding the appointment of
attorneys of record to represent applicants in the application process
or, in the case of applicants or registrants who are not domiciled in
the United States, the appointment of domestic representatives on whom
may be served notices or process in proceedings affecting the mark, the
revocation of an attorney's or domestic representative's appointment,
and requests for permission to withdraw from representation.
The rules implementing the Act are set forth in 37 CFR Part 2. In
addition to governing the registration of trademarks, the Act and rules
also govern the appointments and revocations of attorneys and domestic
representatives and provide the specifics for filing requests for
permission to withdraw as the attorney of record. The information in
this collection is available to the public.
The information in this collection can be submitted in paper format
or electronically through the Trademark Electronic Application System
(TEAS). The information in this collection can be collected in three
different formats: Paper format, electronically using TEAS forms with
dedicated data fields, or electronically using the TEAS Global Form
format. The TEAS Global Form format permits the USPTO to collect
information electronically when a TEAS form having dedicated data
fields is not yet available.
This collection currently has two TEAS forms and two TEAS Global
Forms. There are no official paper forms for the items in this
collection. Individuals and businesses can submit their own paper
forms, following the USPTO's rules and guidelines to ensure that all of
the necessary information is provided.
[[Page 27285]]
II. Method of Collection
The forms in this collection are available in electronic format
through TEAS, which may be accessed on the USPTO Web site. TEAS Global
Forms are available for the items where a TEAS form with dedicated data
fields is not yet available. Applicants may also submit the information
in paper form by mail, fax, or hand delivery.
