Burden Hours: 2,160 hours.
Needs and Uses: In 2012, the Next
Generation 911 (NG911) Advancement
Act of 2012 (Middle Class Tax Relief
and Job Creation Act of 2012, Pub. L.
112–96, Title VI, Subtitle E (codified at
47 U.S.C. 942)) enacted changes to this
program. It reauthorized the 911
Implementation Coordination Office
(ICO), a joint effort between the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) and the National
Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA). It delineated the
responsibilities of the ICO to include a
joint program to establish and facilitate
coordination and communication
between Federal, State, and local
emergency communications systems,
emergency personnel, public safety
organizations, telecommunications
carriers, and telecommunications
equipment manufacturers and vendors
involved in the implementation of 911
services.
The NG911 Advancement Act
provided funding for grants to be used
for the implementation and operation of
911 services, E911 services, migration to
an IP-enabled emergency network, and
adoption and operation of NG911
services and applications; the
implementation of IP-enabled
emergency services and applications
enabled by NG911 services, including
the establishment of IP backbone
networks and the application layer
software infrastructure needed to
interconnect the multitude of
emergency response organizations; and
training public safety personnel,
including call-takers, first responders,
and other individuals and organizations
who are part of the emergency response
chain in 911 services. In August 2019,
NTIA and NHTSA made $109,250,000
in grant awards to 36 agencies.
The information collected for the
closeout of this grant program will
include various reporting requirements.
The closeout performance report is a
new collection instrument. All grantees
will submit the closeout performance
report, tangible property report and final
financial report in accordance with 2
CFR part 200, the Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for
Federal Awards (OMB Uniform
Guidance). It is important for NTIA and
NHTSA to have this information so that
they can effectively administer the grant
program and account for the
expenditure of funds.

New Implementation Date for Patent
Practitioner Registration Statement
and Continuing Legal Education
Certification
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of revised
implementation date.
AGENCY:
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO or Office) is
delaying the implementation of the
biennial mandatory registration
statement required from registered
patent practitioners and individuals
granted limited recognition to practice
before the USPTO in patent matters
until November 1, 2024. However,
beginning in the spring of 2022,
registered patent practitioners and
individuals granted recognition to
practice before the USPTO in patent
matters may voluntarily certify that they
have completed six credit hours of

continuing legal education (CLE) in the
preceding 24 months.
DATES: New Implementation Date: The
USPTO anticipates that the registration
statement will first be collected on
November 1, 2024. The voluntary
certification of CLE will commence in
the spring of 2022.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William Covey, Deputy General Counsel
and Director OED, at 571–272–4097.
Please direct media inquiries to the
USPTO’s Office of the Chief
Communications Officer at 571–272–
8400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the final rule, Setting and Adjusting
Patent Fees During Fiscal Year 2020, 85
FR 46932 (Aug. 3, 2020), registered
patent practitioners and individuals
granted limited recognition to practice
before the USPTO in patent matters may
be required to biennially submit a
mandatory registration statement. See
37 CFR 11.11(a)(2). The final rule also
provided that registered patent
practitioners and individuals granted
limited recognition to practice before
the USPTO in patent matters who have
completed six credits of CLE in the
preceding 24 months (including five
hours of CLE in patent law and practice
and one hour of CLE in ethics) may
voluntarily certify such completion to
the OED Director. 37 CFR 11.11(a)(3)(i).
In the final rule, the USPTO anticipated
that practitioners would first be
required to submit a registration
statement in the spring of 2022, and that
patent practitioners would make the
voluntary CLE certification, if desired,
when submitting the registration
statement. 85 FR 46932, at 46948.
On October 9, 2020, the USPTO
published proposed CLE guidelines
with a request for comments in the
Federal Register, seeking public input
on the guidelines. 85 FR 64128. The
request for comments closed on January
7, 2021. The USPTO received 26
comments, addressing both the
proposed CLE guidelines and the
provisions of the final patent fee rule
which establish the biennial electronic
registration statement.
After considering numerous factors,
the USPTO has decided to delay the
implementation of the registration
statement. The decision to delay is
based, in part, on the USPTO’s
consideration of public comments
received regarding the registration
statement in response to the request for
public comments on the proposed CLE
guidelines. The USPTO’s decision is
also based on a close analysis of
operational priorities and budget. The
USPTO notes that delaying
