daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
citations in the parent application not
contained on an IDS listing or PTO–892
form will not be imported, including,
for example, citations in a third-party
submission under 37 CFR 1.290, Office
actions, applicant responses, citations
listed in the specification, affidavits/
declarations, etc.
Note that in the first phase of the RPA
Initiative, the Office will perform only
a single importation of citations from
the parent application. Any citations
from IDS listings or PTO–892 forms
appearing in the parent application after
this single importation occurs will not
be imported. To have such laterappearing citations printed on a patent
issued from the continuing application,
applicant must submit an IDS with the
later-appearing citations.
(6) Examiner Consideration
Examiners will consider all
documents corresponding to the
imported citations that are compliant
with 37 CFR 1.98 in the parent
application. As explained previously,
the imported citations will be listed on
the Notice of Imported Citations, which
will be given to the applicant at the time
of importation and will be viewable in
the electronic file wrapper record of the
continuing application via the USPTO’s
PAIR system. The examiner will
consider the information corresponding
to the imported citations to the same
extent as information submitted by the
applicant in an IDS. See MPEP
§ 609.05(b).
The examiner will indicate
consideration of the imported citations
in a Notice of Consideration. Examiners
will strike through each citation whose
document was not considered in the
continuing application. This includes
any citation that was not compliant with
37 CFR 1.98 in the parent application
(e.g., no copy was submitted) or the
examiner was unable to consider the
relevance of the imported citation for
some other reason. However, citations
that were not compliant under 37 CFR
1.97 in the parent application will be
considered by the examiner in the
continuing application, if compliant
with 37 CFR 1.98. The examiner should
inform the applicant in the first Office
action of the reason(s) a citation was not
considered. Applicant may then file an
IDS to correct the deficiency in the
imported citations. Note that the date
the IDS is filed to correct the deficiency
in the continuing application is the date
for determining compliance with the
timing requirements of 37 CFR 1.97. See
MPEP § 609.05(a).
The examiner’s signature on the
Notice of Consideration will indicate
that the documents corresponding to all
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:10 Oct 24, 2018
Jkt 247001
citations that have not been lined
through have been considered. The
Notice of Consideration should be
provided with the first Office action on
the merits in the continuing application.
(7) Publication of Imported Citations
All citations that have been imported
from the parent application and
indicated as considered on the Notice of
Consideration will be printed on the
patent issuing from the continuing
application. These imported citations
will be marked with a double-dagger on
the patent to distinguish them from the
other citations of record. If an item of
information is cited more than once on
the record (e.g., in a Notice of
Consideration and on an IDS), the
citation will be listed only once on the
patent and will be distinguished as a
citation that has been imported from a
related application.
IV. Future Phases
As indicated previously, this RPA
Initiative seeks to import relevant
information for consideration by the
examiner at an early time in prosecution
while reducing the need for applicants
to submit this same information in laterfiled applications. The RPA Initiative
will begin with the first phase outlined
in section III. The USPTO expects to
expand this RPA Initiative in
subsequent phases to further enhance
examination quality and reduce the
need for applicants to resubmit citation
lists and references.
The USPTO is evaluating how to
expand the RPA Initiative in future
phases and will use the data acquired in
the first phase in making this
determination. Currently, the USPTO is
considering a first expansion of the RPA
Initiative (second phase) to include the
importation of U.S. and foreign patent
citation information from related PCT
and counterpart foreign applications.
However, this could change based on
the feedback received from examiners
and stakeholders in the first phase.
Further, the RPA Initiative may be
expanded to increase the number of
times information is imported from the
parent application, as well as
encompass more art units within the
USPTO so that it will eventually be
applicable in all applications regardless
of classification.
The timetable for expansion and the
chosen sources of expansion will be
determined based upon the feedback
obtained in the first phase. Applicants
are encouraged to provide their
feedback on the RPA Initiative to help
the USPTO determine how best to
expand the RPA Initiative in the next
phase and in any future phases.

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:
The Office of the Secretary of
Defense proposes to modify a system of
records titled, ‘‘Joint Advertising,
Market Research & Studies (JAMRS)
Survey Database,’’ DHRA 05. JAMRS is
an official Department of Defense
program responsible for joint marketing
communications and market research
and studies. One of JAMRS’ objectives
is to explore the perceptions, beliefs,
and attitudes of American youth as they
relate to joining the Military.
Understanding these factors is critical to
the success of sustaining an AllVolunteer Force and helps ensure
recruiting efforts are directed in the
most efficient and beneficial manner.
DATES: Comments will be accepted on or
before November 26, 2018. 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.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number and title,
by any of the following methods:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Office
of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
proposes to modify a system of records
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a. This system assists DoD
marketing communications programs
increase awareness of military service as
a career option by compiling names of
young adults aged 16 through maximum
recruiting age to create a mailing frame
from which to conduct surveys. These
surveys are conducted multiple times a
year and each survey is designed so that
appropriate levels of precision can be
achieved for inferences to be made at
various geographic levels. The system
also provides JAMRS with the ability to
remove the names of individuals who
are current/former members of, or are
enlisting in, the Armed Forces and
individuals who have asked to be
removed from consideration as a
participant in any future JAMRS survey.
Multiple departments throughout the
Federal Government rely on the
research conducted by JAMRS, which is
frequently reported to Congress. As a
result of reviewing this system of
records, the modification reformats the
system of records notice (SORN),
updates the system location, system
manager, routine uses, record access
procedures, contesting record
procedures, and notification procedures.
The OSD notices for systems of
records subject to the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended, have been published
in the Federal Register and are available
from the address in FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT or at the Defense
Privacy, Civil Liberties, and
Transparency Division website at
https://defense.gov/privacy.
The proposed systems reports, as
required by the Privacy Act, as
amended, were submitted on July 20,
2018, to the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform, the
Senate Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs, and
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) pursuant to Section 6 to OMB
Circular No. A–108, ‘‘Federal Agency
