(d) Submit a final report to the Chief,
Permits and Conservation Division,
Office of Protected Resources, NMFS,
within 30 days after receiving comments
from NMFS on the draft report. If NMFS
decides that the draft report needs no
comments, the draft report shall be
considered to be the final report.
(e) SAE must immediately report to
NMFS if 25 belugas are detected within
the 160 dB re 1 mPa (rms) disturbance
zone during seismic survey operations
to allow NMFS to consider making
necessary adjustments to monitoring
and mitigation.
9. (a) In the unanticipated event that
the specified activity clearly causes the
take of a marine mammal in a manner
prohibited by this Authorization, such
as an injury (Level A harassment),
serious injury or mortality (e.g., shipstrike, gear interaction, and/or
entanglement), SAE shall immediately
cease the specified activities and
immediately report the incident to the
Chief of the Permits and Conservation
Division, Office of Protected Resources,
NMFS, or her designees by phone or
email (telephone: 301–427–8401 or
Sara.Young@noaa.gov), the Alaska
Regional Office (telephone: 907–271–
1332 or Barbara.Mahoney@noaa.gov),
and the Alaska Regional Stranding
Coordinators (telephone: 907–586–7248
or Aleria.Jensen@noaa.gov or
Barbara.Mahoney@noaa.gov). The
report must include the following
information:
(i) Time, date, and location (latitude/
longitude) of the incident;
(ii) The name and type of vessel
involved;
(iii) The vessel’s speed during and
leading up to the incident;
(iv) Description of the incident;
(v) Status of all sound source use in

description of the animal(s) involved;
(x) The fate of the animal(s); and
(xi) Photographs or video footage of
the animal (if equipment is available).
Activities shall not resume until
NMFS is able to review the
circumstances of the prohibited take.
NMFS shall work with SAE to
determine what is necessary to
minimize the likelihood of further
prohibited take and ensure MMPA
compliance. SAE may not resume their
activities until notified by NMFS via
letter or email, or telephone.

(b) In the event that SAE discovers an
injured or dead marine mammal, and
the lead PSO determines that the cause
of the injury or death is unknown and
the death is relatively recent (i.e., in less
than a moderate state of decomposition
as described in the next paragraph), SAE
will immediately report the incident to
the Chief of the Permits and
Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, NMFS, her
designees, and the NMFS Alaska
Stranding Hotline (see contact
information in Condition 9(a)). The
report must include the same

while NMFS reviews the circumstances
of the incident. NMFS will work with
SAE to determine whether
modifications in the activities are
appropriate.
(c) In the event that SAE discovers an
injured or dead marine mammal, and
the lead PSO determines that the injury
or death is not associated with or related
to the activities authorized in Condition
2 of this Authorization (e.g., previously
wounded animal, carcass with moderate
to advanced decomposition, or
scavenger damage), SAE shall report the
incident to the Chief of the Permits and
Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, NMFS, her
designees, the NMFS Alaska Stranding
Hotline (1–877–925–7773), and the
Alaska Regional Stranding Coordinators

contact information in Condition 9(a)).
SAE shall provide photographs or video
footage (if available) or other
documentation of the stranded animal
sighting to NMFS and the Marine
Mammal Stranding Network. Activities
may continue while NMFS reviews the
circumstances of the incident.
10. SAE is required to comply with
the Reasonable and Prudent Measures
and Terms and Conditions of the ITS
corresponding to NMFS’ Biological
Opinion issued to both U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers and NMFS’ Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) is required
by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to examine
applications and, when appropriate,
allow applications and issue them as
patents. Chapter 30 of Title 35 U.S.C.
provides that any person at any time
may file a request for reexamination by
the USPTO of any claim of a patent on
the basis of prior art patents or printed
publications. Once initiated, the
reexamination proceedings under
Chapter 30 are substantially ex parte
and do not permit input from third
parties. The rules outlining ex parte
reexaminations are found at 37 CFR
1.510–1.570.
35 U.S.C. 257 permits a patent owner
to request supplemental examination of
a patent by the USPTO to consider,
reconsider, or correct information
believed to be relevant to the patent.
The rules outlining supplemental
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703

14941
examination are found at 37 CFR 1.601–
1.625.
The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act
terminated inter partes reexamination
effective September 16, 2012. However,
inter partes reexamination proceedings
based on inter partes reexamination
requests filed before September 16,
2012, continue to be prosecuted.
Therefore, this collection continues to
include items related to the prosecution
of inter partes reexamination
proceedings. The rules outlining inter
partes reexaminations are found at 37
CFR 1.903–1.931.
Thus, the items included in this
collection cover (i) requests for ex parte
reexamination, (ii) requests for
supplemental examination, and (iii)
information that may be submitted by
patent owners and third party requesters
in relation to the prosecution of an ex
parte or inter partes reexamination
proceeding. It should be noted that the
Requests for Ex Parte Reexamination
and Supplemental Examination are
distinct collections from the Request for
Ex Parte Reexamination and
Supplemental Examination Transmittal
Forms, respectively. Whereas the
transmittal forms are used by a requester
(patent owner or third party) as a
checklist to ensure compliance with the
requirements of the statutes and rules
for ex parte reexaminations and
supplemental examinations, the
requests themselves represent the
substantive analysis undertaken by
requesters of ex parte reexamination
and supplemental examination.
The public uses this information
collection to request ex parte
reexamination and supplemental
examination, to prosecute
reexamination proceedings, and to
ensure that the associated
documentation is submitted to the
USPTO.
II. Method of Collection
By mail, facsimile, hand delivery, or
electronically to the USPTO.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0651–0064.
Form Number(s): PTO/SB/57 and
PTO/SB/59.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
existing collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; businesses or other forprofits; and not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,170 responses per year.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public from 0.30 hours (18 minutes) to
55 hours to gather the necessary
information, prepare the appropriate
