matrix to reduce inbreeding. The natural
origin fish required to integrate the Fall
Creek Hatchery coho salmon program
will be obtained from Bogus Creek, the
Iron Gate Hatchery auxiliary fish ladder,
Fall Creek (e.g., via seine or dip net),
and fish volitionally entering the Fall
Creek Hatchery as described in the
broodstock collection document and the
terms and conditions of NMFS’ 2021
Biological Opinion for the ‘‘Surrender
and Decommissioning of the Lower
Klamath Hydroelectric Project No.
14803.’’
The secondary purpose of the Fall
Creek Hatchery coho salmon program is
to provide adult coho salmon that could
disperse to newly accessible habitat (76
miles or 122 kilometers) made available
following dam removal. The potential
dispersal of adult coho salmon results
from Fall Creek Hatchery origin coho
salmon straying to other tributaries and
by releasing surplus adult coho salmon
back to the mainstem Klamath River
near Fall Creek.
Take of adult and juvenile coho
salmon associated with permit 15755–
2M is described in the NMFS permit
and particularly detailed in table 1 of
the permit. Permit 15755–2M expires on
December 31, 2031.
This notice is provided under
National Environmental Policy Act
regulations and NMFS ESA permit
regulations to inform the public that the
Final EA, HGMP, and associated
documents are available for review.

accordance with section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and

good faith; (2) if granted and exercised,
would not operate to the disadvantage
of the listed species that are the subject
of the permit; (3) are consistent with the
purposes and policies of section 2 of the
ESA; (4) whether the permit would
further a bona fide and necessary or
desirable scientific purpose or enhance
the propagation or survival of the
endangered species, taking into account
the benefits anticipated to be derived on
behalf of the endangered species; and
additional issuance criteria (as listed at
50 CFR 222.308(c)(5)–(12)). The
authority to take listed species is subject
to conditions set forth in the permit.

Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Substantive Submissions
Made During the Prosecution of the
Trademark Application
The United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) will submit
the following information collection
request to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance
in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, on or after the
date of publication of this notice. The
USPTO invites comments on this
information collection renewal, which
helps the USPTO assess the impact of
its information collection requirements
and minimize the public’s reporting
burden. Public comments were
previously requested via the Federal
Register on December 4, 2023 during a
60-day comment period (88 FR 84132).
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comment.
Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
Title: Substantive Submissions Made
During the Prosecution of the
Trademark Application.
OMB Control Number: 0651–0054.
Needs and Uses: This collection of
information is required by the
Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.,
which provides for the registration of
trademarks, service marks, collective
trademarks and collective service marks,
collective membership marks, and
certification marks. Individuals and
businesses that use or intend to use
such marks in commerce may file an
application to register their marks with
the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO).
Such individuals and businesses may
also submit various communications to
the USPTO, including providing
additional information needed to
process a request to delete a particular
filing basis from an application or to
divide an application identifying
multiple goods and/or services into two
or more separate applications.
Applicants may seek a six-month

extension of time to file a statement that
the mark is in use in commerce or
submit a petition to revive an
application that was abandoned for
failure to submit a timely response to an
office action or a timely statement of use
or extension request. In some
circumstances, an applicant may
expressly abandon an application by
filing a request for withdrawal of the
application.
The rules implementing the
Trademark Act are set forth in 37 CFR
part 2. These rules mandate that each
register entry include the mark, the
goods and/or services in connection
with which the mark is used, ownership
information, dates of use, and certain
other information. The USPTO also
provides similar information concerning
pending applications. The register and
pending application information may be
accessed by an individual or by
businesses to determine the availability
of a mark. By accessing the USPTO’s
information, parties may reduce the
possibility of initiating use of a mark
previously adopted by another. As a
result, the Federal trademark
registration process is intended to
reduce unnecessary litigation, and its
accompanying costs and burdens.
The information in this collection is
used to process the substantive
submissions made during prosecution of
the trademark application. The
submissions in this information
collection are a matter of public record
and are used by the public for a variety
of private business purposes related to
establishing and enforcing trademark
rights. The information is accessible
online, through the USPTO website, as
well as through various USPTO
facilities.

to patents and trademarks to the public.
The PTRC Program is made up of

requirements: Assist the public in the
efficient use of patent and trademark
resources; provide free access to patent
and trademark resources provided by
the USPTO; and send representatives to
attend USPTO-hosted PTRC training
seminars.
The USPTO seeks to collect

requirements stipulate that all
participating libraries must submit
quarterly metrics on the public’s use of
PTRC services and public outreach
efforts provided by the PTRCs. To
facilitate that requirement, the USPTO
electronically collects these metrics on
a quarterly basis. This information
