Title: Application for Plant Variety
Protection Certificate and Objective
Description of Variety.
OMB Control Number: 0581–0055.
Summary of Collection: The Plant
Variety Protection Act (PVPA)
(December 24, 1970; 84 Stat. 1542, 7
U.S.C. 2321 et seq.) was established to
encourage the development of novel
varieties of sexually-reproduced plants
and make them available to the public,
providing intellectual property rights
(IPR) protection to those who breed,
develop, or discover such novel
varieties, and thereby promote progress
in agriculture in the public interest. The
PVPA is a voluntary user funded
program that grants intellectual property
ownership rights to breeders of new and
novel seed-and tuber-reproduced plant
varieties. To obtain these rights the
applicant must provide information that
shows the variety is eligible for
protection and that it is indeed new,
distinct, uniform, and stable, as the law
requires. Applicants are provided with
applications to identify the information
that is required to issue a certificate of
protection.
Need and Use of the Information:
Applicants must complete the ST–470,
‘‘Application for Plant Variety
Protection Certificate,’’ and the ST–470
series of forms, ‘‘Objective Description
of Variety’’ along with other forms. The
Agricultural Marketing Service will use
the information from the applicant to be
evaluated by examiners to determine if
the variety is eligible for protection
under the PVPA. If this information
were not collected there will be no basis
for issuing certificate of protection, and
no way for applicants to request
protection.
