issues that affect the digital ecosystem
and digital economic growth where
broad consensus, coordinated action,
and the development of best practices
could substantially improve security for
organizations and consumers.’’ 1 This
Request built on earlier work from the
Department, including the 2011 Green
Paper Cybersecurity, Innovation, and
the Internet Economy,2 as well as
comments the Department had received
on related issues.3 On July 9, 2015, after
reviewing the comments, NTIA
announced that the first issue to be
addressed would be ‘‘collaboration on
vulnerability research disclosure,’’ 4 and
subsequently announced that the first
meeting of a multistakeholder process
on this topic would be held on
September 29, 2015, and subsequent
meetings were convened on December
2, 2015, and April 8, 2016.5
Matters To Be Considered: The
November 7, 2016 meeting is a
continuation of a series of NTIAconvened multistakeholder discussions
concerning collaboration on
vulnerability disclosure. Stakeholders
will engage in an open, transparent,
consensus-driven process to develop
voluntary principles guiding the
collaboration between vendors and
researchers about vulnerability
information. Stakeholders will review
the work of the ongoing working groups,
and identify strategies for maximizing
the impact of stakeholder outputs. More
information about stakeholders’ work is
available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/

Time and Date: NTIA will convene a
meeting of the multistakeholder process
to promote collaboration on
vulnerability research disclosure on
November 7, 2016, from 12:00 p.m. to
4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The meeting
date and time are subject to change.

The United States Patent and

to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for clearance the following
proposal for collection of information
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
Title: Post Allowance and Refiling.
OMB Control Number: 0651–0033.
Form Number(s): PTO/SB/44/50/51/
51S/52/53/56/141, PTO/AIA/05/06/07,
and PTOL–85B.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 379,600
response.
Estimated Average Hours per
Response: The USPTO estimates that it
will take the public from 12 minutes
(0.20 hours) to 5 hours to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
appropriate form or document, and
submit the information to the USPTO.
Burden Hours: 207,065 burden hours.
Cost Burden: $35,734,150.00.
Needs and Uses: This collection of
information encompasses the action an
applicant must take to submit an issue
fee payment to the USPTO. The USPTO
is required by 35 U.S.C. 131 and 151 to
examine applications and, when
appropriate, allow applications and
issue them as patents. When an
application for a patent is allowed by
the USPTO, the USPTO issues a notice
of allowance and the applicant must pay
the specified issue fee (including the
publication fee, if applicable) within
three months to avoid abandonment of
the application. If the appropriate fees
are paid within the proper time period,
the USPTO can then issue the patent. If
the fees are not paid within the
designated time period, the application
is abandoned. The rules outlining the
procedures for payment of the issue fee
and issuance of a patent are found at 37
CFR 1.18 and 1.311–1.317.
This collection of information also
encompasses several actions that may be
taken after issuance of a patent. A
certificate of correction may be
requested to correct an error or errors in
the patent. If the USPTO determines
that the request should be approved, the
USPTO will issue a certificate of
correction. For an original patent that is
believed to be wholly or partly
inoperative or invalid, the assignee(s) or
inventor(s) may apply for reissue of the
patent, which entails several formal
requirements, including provision of an
oath or declaration specifically
identifying at least one error being
relied upon as the basis for reissue and
stating the reason for the belief that the
original patent is wholly or partially
inoperative or invalid. The rules
outlining these procedures are found at
37 CFR 1.171–1.178 and 1.322–1.325.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.

Needs and Uses: The Patent Law
Treaties Implementation Act of 2012
(PLTIA) amends the patent laws to

harmonizes and streamlines formal
procedures pertaining to the filing and
processing of patent applications.
As covered in the final rule titled,
‘‘Changes to Implement the Patent Law
Treaty’’ (RIN 0651–AC85), the USPTO
adopted the rules of practice for
consistency with the PLT and title II of
the PLTIA. The information in this
collection relates to the petitions for
restoration that may be filed in
accordance with the revised rules.
The information in this collection can
