to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for clearance the following
proposal for a collection of information

Type of Request: Extension of a

Burden: 163 hours annually.
Number of Respondents: 650
responses per year.
Avg. Hours per Response: The USPTO
estimates that it will take participants of
the GIPA training programs 15 minutes

This includes the time to gather the
necessary information, complete the

program expectations and training
needs immediately prior to participating
in the GIPA training programs. The
post-program surveys allow participants
to provide feedback on program
effectiveness, service, facilities, teaching
practices, and processes immediately
after completing the GIPA training
programs. The alumni surveys allow
participants to provide feedback on
program effectiveness approximately
one year after completing the GIPA
training programs.
