including the time to gather the
necessary information, prepare the
appropriate form or petition, and submit
the completed request to the USPTO.
The time per response, estimated
annual responses, and estimated annual
hour burden associated with each
instrument in this information
collection is shown in the table below.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
5,000 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden
(Hourly): $2,190,000.00. The USPTO
expects that attorneys will complete the
instruments associated with this
information collection. The professional
hourly rate used for the calculation is
the $438 average rate for attorneys in
private firms as published in the 2017
Report of the Economic Survey by the
American Intellectual Property Law
Association (AIPLA). Using this hourly
rate, the USPTO estimates $2,190,000.00
per year for the total hourly costs
associated with respondents.

pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b),
waives the 15-calendar day notification
requirement.
This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.,
Appendix), the Government in the
Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41
CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150.
Purpose of the Meeting: The mission
of the DSB is to provide independent
advice and technical enterprise. The
objective of the meeting is to obtain,
review, and evaluate classified
information related to the DSB’s
mission. The meeting will focus on the
DSB’s 2018 Summer Study on Strategic
Surprise tasking, to include DoD
dependence on the U.S. electric power
grid, homeland air defense, maritime
situational awareness, threats and
promise of biotechnology, countering
autonomous systems, technical
approaches to counter-intelligence,
resilient positioning, navigation and
timing, various undersea issues, gray
zone conflict, resilience of the defense
industrial base, and logistics.
Agenda: The DSB meeting will begin
on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at 8:00
a.m. with opening remarks from Mr.
Edward Gliot, DSB Executive Director,
Dr. Craig Fields, DSB Chairman and Dr.
Eric Evans, Vice Chairman. Following
opening remarks, DSB members will
hold classified small group discussions
covering DoD dependence on the U.S.
electric power grid, homeland air
defense, maritime situational awareness,
threats and promises of biotechnology,
countering autonomous systems,
technical approaches to counterintelligence, resilient positioning,
navigation and timing, various undersea
issues, gray zone conflict, resilience of
the defense industrial base, and
logistics. After break, DSB members will
hold classified discussions covering
DoD dependence on the U.S. electric
power grid, homeland air defense,
maritime situational awareness, threats
and promises of biotechnology,
countering autonomous systems,
technical approaches to counterintelligence, resilient positioning,
navigation and timing, various undersea
issues, gray zone conflict, resilience of
the defense industrial base, and
logistics. The meeting will adjourn at
5:00 p.m. On the second day of the
meeting, Thursday, July 19, 2018, the
day will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a
classified session covering DoD
dependence on the U.S. electric power
grid, homeland air defense, maritime
situational awareness, threats and
promises of biotechnology, countering
autonomous systems, technical
approaches to counter-intelligence,

resilient positioning, navigation and
timing, various undersea issues, gray
zone conflict, resilience of the defense
industrial base, and logistics. After
break, the classified discussion will
continue on the same topics. The
meeting will adjourn at 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance
with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41
CFR 102–3.155, the DoD has determined
that the DSB meeting will be closed to
the public. Specifically, the Under
Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering, in consultation with the
DoD Office of General Counsel, has
determined in writing that the meeting
will be closed to the public because it
will consider matters covered by 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The determination is
based on the consideration that it is
expected that discussions throughout
will involve classified matters of
national security concern. Such
classified material is so intertwined
with the unclassified material that it
cannot reasonably be segregated into
separate discussions without defeating
the effectiveness and meaning of the
overall meetings. To permit the meeting
to be open to the public would preclude
discussion of such matters and would
greatly diminish the ultimate utility of
the DSB’s findings and
recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense and to the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering.
Written Statements: In accordance
with section 10(a)(3)of the FACA and 41
CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140,
interested persons may submit a written
statement for consideration by the DSB
at any time regarding its mission or in
response to the stated agenda of a
planned meeting. Individuals
submitting a written statement must
submit their statement to the DSB DFO
provided above at any point; however,
if a written statement is not received at
least three calendar days prior to the
meeting, which is the subject of this
notice, then it may not be provided to
or considered by the DSB until a later
date.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. CP18–18–000]
Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Gateway Expansion Project,
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA) for the
Gateway Expansion Project, proposed
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco) in the abovereferenced docket. Transco requests
authorization to modify certain facilities
in Essex and Passaic Counties, New
Jersey, to increase the firm
transportation capacity on the existing
pipeline to allow greater access to
natural gas supplies. The proposed
modifications would occur within
existing facilities, with no new
permanent right-of-way.
The EA assesses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
Gateway Expansion Project in
accordance with the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that
approval of the proposed project, with
appropriate mitigating measures, would
not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The proposed Gateway Expansion
Project includes the following facilities:
Essex County
Compressor Station 303
• Expansion of the building and
installation of a 33,000 horsepower
electric-motor driven compression unit
and ancillary equipment; and
• extension of security fencing and
access to new equipment.
Roseland Meter and Regulator
• Installation of a 36-inch-diameter
Main Line block valve with automation
controls.
Roseland Electric Substation
• Installation of an electric
transformer unit.
