Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Notices
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: Native American Tribal Insignia
Database.
OMB Control Number: 0651–0048.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 4 responses
per year.
Average Hours per Response: The
USPTO estimates that a recognized
Native American tribe will require an
average of 1 hour to complete a request
to record an official insignia, including
time to prepare the appropriate
documents and submit the completed
request to the USPTO.
Burden Hours: 4 hours.
Cost Burden: $4.80.
Needs and Uses: The Trademark Law
Treaty Implementation Act of 1998
(Pub. L. 105–330, sec. 302, 112 Stat.
3071) required the USPTO to study
issues surrounding the protection of the
official insignia of federally and staterecognized Native American tribes
under trademark law. At the direction of
Congress, the USPTO created a database
containing the official insignia of
recognized Native American tribes.
The USPTO database of official tribal
insignias provides evidence of what a
federally or state-recognized Native
American tribe considers to be its
official insignia. The database thereby
assists trademark examining attorneys
in their examination of applications for
trademark registration by serving as a
reference for determining the
registrability of a mark that may falsely
suggest a connection to the official
insignia of a Native American tribe. The
entry of an official insignia into the
database does not confer any rights to
the tribe that submitted the insignia,
and entry is not the legal equivalent of
registering the insignia as a trademark
under 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.
This information collection is used by
the USPTO to enter an official insignia
submitted by a federally or staterecognized Native American tribe into
the database. There are no forms
associated with this collection.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas A. Fraser,

publicly available in electronic format
