burden in the form of filing fees and
postage costs.

Filing Fees
In accordance with 35 U.S.C.
41(a)(1)(G), the USPTO only charges a
fee for submitting a sequence listing as
part of a U.S. application or as part of
an international application entering the
U.S. national stage if the sequence
listing (i) is not filed via EFS-Web or not
filed on an electronic medium in
compliance with §§ 1.52(e) and 1.821(c)
or (e), and (ii) causes the application to
exceed 100 pages. (See 37 CFR 1.52(f).)
Under 37 CFR 1.16(s) and 1.492(j) for
U.S. applications and international
applications entering the U.S. national
stage, respectively, if the application,
including the sequence listings filed on
paper or on a non-compliant electronic
medium, exceeds 100 pages, the
application size fee is $400 (or $200 for
small entities and $100 for micro
entities) for each additional 50 pages or
fraction thereof. The USPTO estimates
the following with respect to the
number of applications that will include
long sequence listings filed on paper or
on a non-compliant electronic medium
and the average application size fee that
such applications will incur: (i)
Approximately 200 applications from
large entities will incur an average
application size fee of $1,200; (ii)
approximately 100 applications from
small entities will incur an average
application size fee of $600; and (iii)
approximately 40 applications from
micro entities will incur an average
application size fee of $300. The
estimate corresponds to a total fee cost
of $240,000, $60,000, and $12,000,
respectively.
As a Receiving Office, the USPTO
collects the international filing fee for
each international application it
receives. The basic international filing
fee only covers the first 30 pages of the
international application. As a result, a
$15 fee per page is added to the
international filing fee for each page
over 30 pages of an international
application including a sequence listing
filed on paper or in PDF format. No page
fees are triggered by sequence listings
that are submitted via EFS-Web in the
proper text format. The average length
of a sequence listing filed on paper or
in PDF format in an international
application is 150 pages, which would
carry an additional fee of $2,250 if the
international application were already
at least 30 pages long without the
listing. The USPTO estimates that
approximately 650 of the 6,000
sequence listings filed per year on paper
or in PDF format will be for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:03 Mar 16, 2016
Jkt 238001
international applications, for a cost of
$1,462,500.
Therefore, the USPTO estimates that
the total fee costs for this collection will
total $1,774,500.00.
Postage Costs
Mailed submissions may include the
sequence listing on either paper or CD,
the CRF copy of the listing on CD, and
a transmittal letter containing the
required identifying information. The
USPTO estimates that the average
postage cost for a paper or CD sequence
listing submission will be $6.45 (USPS
Priority Mail, flat rate envelope) and
that 6,350 sequence listings will be
mailed to the USPTO per year, for a
total of $40,957.50 in postage costs.
With filing fee costs totaling
$1,774,500.00 and postage costs totaling
$40,957.50, the USPTO estimates that
the total annual non-hourly cost burden
for this collection will amount to
$1,815,457.50.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden (including hours
and cost) of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they will also become a matter of public
record.

ACTION:
The Office of Inspector
General proposes to alter a system of
records, CIG–16, Defense Case Activity

operations, and to prevent and detect
fraud, waste, and abuse in such
programs and operations. Accordingly,
the records in this system are used in
the course of investigating individuals
suspected of administrative or criminal
misconduct.
This system is also used for case
management, case tracking, information
storage, to respond to requests for
information, and to fulfill mandatory
reporting requirements. It fulfills these
purposes by enabling users to record
complaints, allegations of wrongdoing,
and requests for assistance; to document
inquiries; to store investigative case
records; to compile statistical
information; to provide prompt,
responsive and accurate information
regarding the status of ongoing cases; to
provide a record of complaint
disposition; and to record actions taken
and notifications of interested parties
and agencies.
DATES: Comments will be accepted on or
before April 18, 2016. This proposed
action will be effective the date
following the end of the comment
period unless comments are received
which result in a contrary
determination.
