may count toward the actual amount of
extension that the Commissioner for
Patents may award, APHIS’
determination of the length of a
regulatory review period for a veterinary
biologic will include all of the testing
phase and approval phase as specified
in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(5)(B).
APHIS recently licensed for
production and marketing the veterinary
biologic Porcine Circovirus Vaccine,
Type 1-Type 2 Chimera, Killed Virus,
Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae Bacterin.
Subsequent to this approval, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office received a
patent term restoration application for
Porcine Circovirus Vaccine, Type 1Type 2 Chimera, Killed Virus,
Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae Bacterin
(U.S. Patent No. 9,585,951) from Zoetis,
Inc., and the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office requested APHIS’ assistance in
determining this patent’s eligibility for
patent term restoration. In a letter dated
November 1, 2018, APHIS advised the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that
this veterinary biologic had undergone a
regulatory review period and that the
approval of Porcine Circovirus Vaccine,
Type 1-Type 2 Chimera, Killed Virus,
Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae Bacterin
represented the first permitted
commercial licensing or use of the
product. Subsequently, the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office requested that
APHIS determine the product’s
regulatory review period.
APHIS has determined that the
applicable regulatory review period for
Porcine Circovirus Vaccine, Type 1Type 2 Chimera, Killed Virus,
Mycoplasma Hyopneumoniae Bacterin
is 1,376 days. Of this time, 0 days
occurred during the testing phase of the
regulatory review period, and 1,376
days occurred during the approval
phase. These periods were derived from
the following dates:
1. The date the application for a
license was initially submitted for
approval under the Virus-Serum-Toxin
Act: April 28, 2014. APHIS has verified
the applicant’s claim that the
application was initially submitted on
April 28, 2014.
2. The date the license was issued:
February 1, 2018. APHIS has verified
the applicant’s claim that the license for
the commercial marketing of the vaccine
was issued on February 1, 2018.
This determination of the regulatory
review period establishes the maximum
potential length of a patent extension.
However, the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office applies several
statutory limitations in its calculations
of the actual period for patent extension.
In its application for patent extension,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
this applicant seeks 1,376 days of patent
term extension.
Section 124.22 of the regulations
provides that any interested person may
request a revision of the regulatory
review period determination within 30
days of the date of this notice (see DATES
above). The request must specify the
following:
• The identity of the product;
• The identity of the applicant for
patent term restoration;
• The docket number of this notice;
and
• The basis for the request for
revision, including any documentary
evidence.
Further, under § 124.30 of the
regulations, any interested person may
file a petition with APHIS, no later than
180 days after the date of this notice (see
DATES above), alleging that a license
applicant did not act with due diligence
in seeking APHIS approval of the
product during the regulatory review
period. The filing, format, and content
of a petition must be as described in the
regulations in ‘‘Subpart D—Due
Diligence Petitions’’ (§§ 124.30 through
124.33).
Authority: 35 U.S.C. 156; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80,
and 371.4.
Done in Washington, DC, this 30th day of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description of Information Collection
Title: Organic Certification Cost Share
Program.
OMB Number: 0560–0289.
Expiration Date of Approval: 03/31/
2020.
Type of Request: Extension.
Abstract: FSA is requesting comments
from all interested individuals and
organizations on a revision and an
extension of a currently approved
information collection request
associated with OCCSP. Producers and
handlers will apply for cost share
payments, and State Agencies will
establish agreements to get funds and to
disburse payments to qualified
producers or handlers.
The burden hours increased by 21,290
hours since the last OMB approval. The
reason for the increase is due to
increased participation in the NOP. The
travel times have been removed from
the request. The respondents may
submit applications by mail and many
respondents go to the county offices to
do regular and customary business with
FSA for other FSA programs; this means
no travel time is required specifically
for the information collection and
therefore, it is no longer included in the
burden hour reporting.
For the following estimated total
annual burden on respondents, the
E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM
04OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 193 / Friday, October 4, 2019 / Notices
formula used to calculate the total
burden hour is the estimated average
time per responses hours multiplied by
the estimated total annual responses.
Estimate of Annual Burden: Public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
1.0015 hours per response.
Type of Respondents: Individuals,
and State.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15,565.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 5.0455.
Estimated Total Annual of Responses:
78,533.
Estimated Average Time per
Responses: 1.0015 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 78,650 hours.
We are requesting comments on all
aspects of this information collection to
help us to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of FSA,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of FSA’s
estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice, including
names and addresses when provided,
will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will also become a matter of
public record.
