Waiver of Original Handwritten
Signature Requirement Due to the
COVID–19 Outbreak
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Waiver of regulations.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO or Office)
considers the effects of the COVID–19
outbreak to be an extraordinary
situation. Therefore, pursuant to the
Office’s authority, the USPTO is
waiving its only regulatory requirements
for an original handwritten signature
personally signed in permanent dark ink
or its equivalent for certain
correspondence with the Office of
Enrollment and Discipline and certain
payments by credit card. In both
instances, the Office will accept copies
of handwritten signatures. The USPTO
has no other requirements for original
handwritten, ink signatures.
DATES: March 30, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information concerning correspondence
with the Office of Enrollment and
Discipline: William Covey, Office of
Enrollment and Discipline, United
States Patent and Trademark Office,

or by email at Matthew.Lee@uspto.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
USPTO considers the effects of the
COVID–19 outbreak to be an
‘‘extraordinary situation’’ within the
meaning of 37 CFR 1.183 and 37 CFR
2.146(a)(5) for affected persons doing
business before the Office. Accordingly,
the USPTO is sua sponte waiving the
requirements of 37 CFR 1.4(e)(1) and (2)
for an original handwritten signature

personally signed in permanent dark ink
or its equivalent for correspondence
requiring a person’s signature and
relating to (1) registration to practice
before the USPTO in patent cases,
enrollment and disciplinary
investigations, or disciplinary
proceedings; and (2) payments by credit
cards where the payment is not being
made via the Office’s electronic filing
systems. The Office notes that the
requirements of 37 CFR 1.4(e)(1) and (2)
are the only USPTO requirements for
original handwritten, ink signatures,
and the USPTO has no other
requirements for original handwritten,
ink signatures. The USPTO’s
requirements concerning signature
methods are set forth in 37 CFR 1.4 and
37 CFR 2.193.
In light of the waiver of the
requirements of 37 CFR 1.4(e)(1), the
Office of Enrollment and Discipline will
accept the signature methods described
in 37 CFR 1.4(d). In light of the waiver
of the requirements of 37 CFR 1.4(e)(2),
the Office of Finance will accept the
signature methods described in 37 CFR
1.4(d). Persons providing such
submissions to the Office are reminded
that, pursuant to 37 CFR 1.4(d)(4), such
submissions constitute a certification
under 37 CFR 11.18(b) and that
violations of 37 CFR 11.18(b) may be
subject to disciplinary action pursuant
to 37 CFR 11.18(d). And, in
circumstances where deemed
appropriate, the Office of Enrollment
and Discipline and the Office of Finance
may request that signatures be ratified/
confirmed pursuant to 37 CFR 1.4(h).
The USPTO already permits persons
to provide true copies of handwritten
signatures or electronic signatures that
meet the requirements of 37 CFR
2.193(c) on each piece of Trademark
correspondence that requires a
signature. 37 CFR 2.193(a). Likewise,
the USPTO already permits persons to
provide a direct or indirect copy of an
original handwritten signature (37 CFR
1.4(d)(1)(ii)) or S-signatures that meet
the requirements of 37 CFR 1.4(d)(2) on
each piece of Patent correspondence
that requires a signature. 37 CFR
1.4(d)(1). This waiver is effective until
further notice is provided by the Office.
Such notice may take place by
publication of a document in the
Federal Register and the USPTO’s
website.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 61 / Monday, March 30, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our January 2,
2020 proposal (85 FR 54). In that
document we proposed to approve the
Oklahoma SIP for compliance with CAA
sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2)(A)
through (C), 110(a)(2)(E) through (H)
and 110(a)(2)(J) through (M). We also
proposed approving the Oklahoma SIP
for compliance with CAA sections
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), Interference with
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), Interstate Pollution
Abatement (which refers to CAA section
126) and International Air Pollution
(which refers to CAA section 115). We
are not acting on the remaining portions
of the October 25, 2018, submittal
addressing CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), and 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II),
which will be addressed in a subsequent
action. We did not receive any
comments regarding our proposal.
II. Final Action
We are approving Oklahoma’s
October 28, 2018, Infrastructure SIP
submission for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS
as it applies to CAA sections 110(a)(1)
and 110(a)(2)(A) through (C),
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (the Prevention of
Significant Deterioration portion),
110(a)(2)(D)(ii), 110(a)(2)(E) through (H)
and 110(a)(2)(J) through (M). The
submission addressed how Oklahoma’s
existing SIP provides for
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of the 2015 Ozone NAAQS.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:52 Mar 27, 2020
Jkt 250001
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted under Executive Order 12866;
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by May 29, 2020.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

Award terms are a form of incentive
contract, offering additional periods of
performance without a new
competition, rather than additional
profit or fee as a reward for achieving
prescribed performance measures.
Award term incentives were developed
in 1997 by the Department of the Air
Force and are not described in the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
In order to assist EPA contracting
officers seeking to use award term
incentives, it is necessary to amend the
EPAAR to provide clear language of the
requirements needed to successfully
award and earn award terms.
The proposed rule was published in
the Federal Register (84 FR 11920) on
March 29, 2019, providing for a 60-day
comment period. Interested parties were
afforded the opportunity to participate
in the making of this rule. There was
one comment received during the 60day period, but it is was unrelated to the
subject procurement.
II. Final Rule
The final rule amends EPAAR Part
1516—Types of Contracts, Subpart
1516.4—Incentive Contracts, 1516.406
Contract Clauses, 1516.401–70 Award
Term Incentives, and 1516.401–270
Definition. The final rule also amends
EPAAR Part 1552—Solicitation
Provisions and Contract Clauses,
1552.216–78 —Award Term Incentive

1. EPAAR 1516.406 establishes the
prescription for use of related EPAAR

Term Incentive, 1552.216–78, Award
Term Incentive Plan, and 1552.216–79,
Award Term Availability of Funds, in
solicitations and contracts when award
term incentives are contemplated.
2. EPAAR 1516.401–270 defines
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) as the
minimum percent of deliverables which
are compliant with a given performance
standard that would permit a contractor
to become eligible for an award term
incentive.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore
not subject to review under the E.O.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an
information collection burden, as
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b), under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as
Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et. seq.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act
generally requires an agency to prepare
a regulatory flexibility analysis of any
rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute; unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities
include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental
jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing
the impact of this final rule on small
entities, ‘‘small entity’’ is defined as: (1)

[[Page 17503]]
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our
January 2, 2020 proposal (85 FR 54). In that document we proposed to
approve the Oklahoma SIP for compliance with CAA sections 110(a)(1) and
110(a)(2)(A) through (C), 110(a)(2)(E) through (H) and 110(a)(2)(J)
through (M). We also proposed approving the Oklahoma SIP for compliance
with CAA sections 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), Interference with Prevention of
Significant Deterioration and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), Interstate Pollution
Abatement (which refers to CAA section 126) and International Air
Pollution (which refers to CAA section 115). We are not acting on the
remaining portions of the October 25, 2018, submittal addressing CAA
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), and 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), which will be
addressed in a subsequent action. We did not receive any comments
regarding our proposal.
II. Final Action
We are approving Oklahoma's October 28, 2018, Infrastructure SIP
submission for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS as it applies to CAA sections
110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2)(A) through (C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration portion), 110(a)(2)(D)(ii),
110(a)(2)(E) through (H) and 110(a)(2)(J) through (M). The submission
addressed how Oklahoma's existing SIP provides for implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of the 2015 Ozone NAAQS.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 29, 2020. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
