The Coast Guard did not receive any comments from the Small Business Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A above this final rule would not have a significant economic impact on any vessel owner or operator because the bridge will open with advance notice. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above. Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency’s responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This rule calls for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 3520). sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:05 Jul 20, 2017 Jkt 241001 principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a determination that this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. This action is categorically excluded from further review, under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration and a Memorandum for the Record are not required for this rule. G. Protest Activities The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places or vessels.

BILLING CODE 9110–04–P United States Patent and Trademark Office AGENCY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: [FR Doc. 2017–15370 Filed 7–20–17; 8:45 am] DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The United States Patent and Trademark Office (‘‘USPTO’’) published in the Federal Register on October 7, 2016 a final rule, which became effective on January 14, 2017, revising the Rules of Practice before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. This document clarifies certain provisions of the rules of practice regarding the deadlines for filing motions to compel discovery, motions to test the sufficiency of responses or objections to requests for admission, and motions for summary judgment. The clarification promotes clarity and reflects ongoing and current practice, in keeping with the goals of efficiency and predictability in the procedure and process of trial cases. DATES: This rule is effective on July 21, 2017. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cheryl Butler, Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, by email at TTABFRNotices@uspto.gov, or by telephone at (571) 272–4259. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USPTO issues this final rule to clarify the latest time in an inter partes proceeding that certain motions may be filed. The USPTO’s October 7, 2016 final rule revising the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Rules of Practice (81 FR 69950) (published under RIN 0651– AC35), effective January 14, 2017, required that any motion to compel discovery, § 2.120(f)(1), motion to test the sufficiency of responses or objections to requests for admission, § 2.120(i)(1), or motion for summary judgment, § 2.127(e)(1), be filed prior to the deadline for pretrial disclosures for the first testimony period as set or as reset. The USPTO now amends the rules of practice to make clear that such motions must be filed before the day of the deadline for pretrial disclosures for the first testimony period as originally set or as reset. The amendments promote clarity in the regulations and further the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 objectives of the January 14, 2017 final rule. They advance the goals of efficiency of inter partes proceedings by streamlining discovery and pretrial procedure, particularly by signaling that the trial phase of the proceedings commences with the deadline for the first pretrial disclosure, by which juncture all discovery disputes will have been resolved or at least brought to the attention of the Board and all parties. Discussion of Rule Changes Discovery The USPTO is amending the third sentence of § 2.120(f)(1) to indicate that a motion to compel discovery must be filed before the day of the deadline for pretrial disclosures for the first testimony period as originally set or as reset. The USPTO is amending the first sentence of § 2.120(i)(1) to indicate that a motion to determine and test the sufficiency of an answer or objection to a request for admission must be filed before the day of the deadline for pretrial disclosures for the first testimony period as originally set or as reset. Motions The USPTO is amending the second sentence of § 2.127(e)(1) to indicate that a motion for summary judgment must be filed before the day of the deadline for pretrial disclosures for the first testimony period as originally set or as reset. Rulemaking Considerations Administrative Procedure Act: The changes in this rulemaking involve rules of agency practice and procedure and/ or interpretive rules. See Nat’l Org. of Veterans’ Advocates v. Sec’y of Veterans Affairs, 260 F.3d 1365, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (Rule that clarifies interpretation of a statute is interpretive.); Bachow Communications Inc. v. FCC, 237 F.3d 683, 690 (D.C.
