represent small numbers of marine
mammals relative to the affected stock
abundances; (4) Ocean Wind II’s
activities will not have an unmitigable
adverse impact on taking for subsistence
purposes as no relevant subsistence uses
of marine mammals are implicated by
this action, and (5) appropriate
monitoring and reporting requirements
are included.
Endangered Species Act (ESA)
Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA of 1973 (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) requires that each
Federal agency insure that any action it
authorizes, funds, or carries out is not
likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of any endangered or
threatened species or result in the
destruction or adverse modification of
designated critical habitat. To ensure
ESA compliance for the issuance of
IHAs, NMFS OPR consults internally
whenever we propose to authorize take
for endangered or threatened species.
NMFS OPR is authorizing the
incidental take of four species of marine
mammals which are listed under the
ESA, including the North Atlantic right,
fin, sei, and sperm whale and has
determined that these activities fall
within the scope of activities analyzed
in GARFO’s programmatic consultation
regarding geophysical surveys along the
U.S. Atlantic coast in the three Atlantic
Renewable Energy Regions (completed
June 29, 2021; revised September 2021).
The consultation concluded that NMFS’
issuance of incidental take authorization
related to these activities is not likely to
adversely affect ESA-listed marine
mammals.

National Environmental Policy Act
To comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and NOAA
Administrative Order (NAO) 216–6A,
NMFS must review our action (i.e., the
issuance of an IHA) with respect to
potential impacts on the human
environment. This action is consistent
with categories of activities identified in
Categorical Exclusion B4 (IHAs with no
anticipated serious injury or mortality)
of the Companion Manual for NAO 216–
6A, which do not individually or
cumulatively have the potential for
significant impacts on the quality of the
human environment and for which we
have not identified any extraordinary
circumstances that would preclude this
categorical exclusion. Accordingly,
NMFS has determined that the issuance
of the final IHA qualifies to be
categorically excluded from further
NEPA review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Global Intellectual Property
Academy (GIPA) was established in
2006 to offer training programs on
enforcement of intellectual property
rights, patents, trademarks, and
copyrights. GIPA’s training programs are
designed to meet the specific needs of
foreign government officials concerning
various intellectual property topics. By
attending these programs, foreign
government officials learn about global
intellectual property rights protection
and enforcement and discuss strategies
to handle the protection and
enforcement issues in their respective
countries. The GIPA training programs
are an important instrument that
USPTO uses to achieve its objectives of
halting intellectual property theft and
advancing intellectual property right
policies.
The surveys in this information
collection are conducted in an effort to
provide additional details on ‘‘who’’
participants are, what kind of positions
they hold, length of time working in an
intellectual property area, type of
organizations where respondents work,
type of intellectual property functions,
and the effect of the GIPA program on
their professional work and their
country’s intellectual property efforts.
This information is being collected to
improve the services that the USPTO
provides in its missions of serving the
international IP community. The data
captured will also be used to help meet
organizational performance and
accountability goals through the
following legislative mandates and
performance guidance:
• Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA); 1
• Government Performance and
Results Modernization Act of 2010
(GPRMA); 2
• President’s Management Agenda
(PMA); 3 and
• Foundations for Evidence Based
Policy Making Act of 2018.4
Evaluation and measurement efforts
provide methodologically rigorous data
activity and analyses in place of more
subjective, ad hoc, non-standardized
anecdotal material.
These voluntary surveys support
various business goals developed by the
USPTO to fulfill customer service and
performance goals, to assist the USPTO
in strategic planning for future
initiatives, to verify existing service
standards, and to establish new ones.
The USPTO also uses these surveys to
implement Executive Order 12862 of
September 11, 1993, Setting Customer
Service Standards, published in the
Federal Register on September 14, 1993
(58 FR 48257).5 The USPTO does not
intend to collect any personally
identifying data from the participants
and intends to maintain the contact
information for the participants in a
separate file for the quantitative data.

may be submitted via online electronic

IV. Request for Comments
The USPTO is soliciting public comments to:
(a) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of
the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) 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, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
All comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. USPTO will include or summarize each comment in the
request to OMB to approve this information collection. Before including
an address, phone number, email address, or other personally
identifiable information (PII) in a comment, be aware that the entire
comment--including PII--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you may ask in your comment to withhold PII from public view,
USPTO cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
