Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 4, 2022 / Notices City, MO, to inform their practices for Impact-Based Decision Support Services (IDSS) and to improve the information and services it provides to members of the Weather Enterprise. Importantly, data collected will help assist NWS in developing new forecaster training modules, situational awareness information, and best practices for Impact-Based Decision Support with partners. This is a necessary step in improving risk communication among expert groups, which, in turn, benefits vulnerable populations who ultimately must act quickly and safely to adjudicate which risks pose the greatest threat to them as the threats evolve. Data collected from both populations will also be used for the practical utility of the government through semi-annual reports to NOAA to evaluate proposed metrics of success for completing the grant relative to progress to data. Conference presentations about findings will be made to the American Meteorological Society, National Weather Association, and related emergency manager conferences; webinars of best practices and situational awareness opportunities to partner or NWS offices; and insights about the challenges of communicating and preparing the public for compound hazards reported to peer reviewed publications in professional journals. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; State, Local, or Tribal government; Federal government. Frequency: One time. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

These initiatives are meant to ensure that the patent rights granted by the USPTO fulfill their intended purpose of furthering the common good, incentivizing innovation, and promoting economic prosperity. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background and the USPTO’s July 6, 2022, Letter to the FDA On July 9, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order (E.O.) on ‘‘Promoting Competition in the American Economy,’’ 86 FR 36987 (July 14, 2021) (‘‘Competition E.O.’’). To advance the Biden Administration’s goals of promoting access to prescription pharmaceuticals for American families and increasing competition in the marketplace, section 5(p)(vi) of the E.O. directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) ‘‘to help ensure that the patent system, while incentivizing innovation, does not also unjustifiably delay generic drug and biosimilar competition beyond that reasonably contemplated by applicable law.’’ In particular, section 5(p)(vi) of the E.O. directs the HHS Secretary, ‘‘through the Commissioner of Food and Drugs’’ and ‘‘not later than 45 days after the date of this order,’’ to ‘‘write a letter to the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office enumerating and describing any relevant concerns of the FDA.’’ In response to the Competition E.O., on September 10, 2021, the FDA sent a letter to the USPTO outlining ideas for further engagement with the USPTO. On July 6, 2022, the USPTO sent a responsive letter (USPTO Letter) discussing specific initiatives the USPTO was exploring to further promote robust and reliable patent rights across all technology areas and suggesting additional ways in which the USPTO could work with the FDA to ensure that our patent system properly and adequately protects innovation while not unnecessarily delaying generic and biosimilar competition, which provides more affordable versions of pharmaceuticals for Americans who need them. The Competition E.O. and the letters are available at www.uspto.gov/initiatives/ drug-pricing-initiatives. The USPTO Letter explains that the United States is a global leader in the development of drugs and biologics due to its strong patent system. Robust and reliable patents are needed to incentivize and protect the immense research and development investment E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1
