Agency Information Collection
Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Trademark Post Registration
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:27 Oct 18, 2024
Jkt 265001
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 July 25, 2024 during a 60day comment period (89 FR 60405).
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comment.
Agency: United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
Title: Trademark Post Registration.
OMB Control Number: 0651–0055.
Needs and Uses: The United States
Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
administers the Trademark Act (Act), 15
U.S.C. 1501 et seq., which provides for
the federal registration of trademarks,
service marks, collective trademarks and
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 USPTO.
This information collection covers
various communications submitted by
individuals and businesses to the
USPTO after the registration of a
trademark. One type of communication
is a request to amend a registration to
delete goods or services that are no
longer being used by the owner.
Registered marks remain on the register
for 10 years and can be renewed, but
will be cancelled unless the owner files
with the USPTO a declaration attesting
to the continued use (or excusable nonuse) of the mark in commerce, and a
renewal application, with specific
deadlines. Owners may also request to
amend or divide a registration, respond
to a post-registration office action, and
surrender a registration.
The regulations implementing the Act
are set forth in 37 CFR part 2. These
regulations 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 information in
this information collection is used to
maintain the quality of the trademark
register. The register may be accessed by
an individual or by businesses to
determine the availability of a mark. By
keeping the register current and
accurate, parties may reduce the
possibility of initiating use of a mark
previously adopted by another.
This information collection also
incorporates responses to office actions
related to ex parte expungements and
reexaminations and Director-initiated
expungements and reexaminations
(accounted for under Reponses to Office
Actions for Post-Registration Matters

(PTO–2302). Ex parte expungement and
reexamination proceedings were
established by the Trademark
Modernization Act of 2020 (TMA),
Public Law 116–260 (Dec. 27, 2020), to
cancel, either in whole or in part,
registered marks for which the required
use in commerce was not made. The
burden estimates for responses to office
actions regarding ex parte
expungements or reexaminations and
Director-initiated expungements and
reexaminations were previously
contained in OMB Control No. 0651–
0086 (Changes to Implement Provisions
of the Trademark Modernization Act),
but are being transferred into this
information collection for efficiency. All
the burdens associated with responses
to office actions from 0651–0086 are
now being accounted for under IC No.
7 (Response to Office Action for PostRegistration Matters) in this information
collection. The 60-day notice, published
for this information collection, already
accounted for the burdens being
transferred.

Office of the Secretary
Finding of No Significant Impact and
Final Environmental Assessment for
DARPA’s Reefense Program, Baker
Point, Florida
Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), Department
of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
DARPA announces the
availability of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) and a Final
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
Reefense Program at Baker Point,
Florida. The environmental review
process led to the conclusion that the
proposed action will not have a
significant effect on the human
environment. Therefore, an
Environmental Impact Statement will
not be prepared.
ADDRESSES: The Final EA and FONSI
are available online through the project
website at https://hsrl.rutgers.edu/
research/darpa-reefense.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Catherine Campbell, 703–526–2044
(Voice), Catherine.Campbell@darpa.mil
(Email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notification of the availability of the
Draft EA was published in the Federal
Register (89 FR 37184) on May 6, 2024.
The public review period began on May
6, 2024 and concluded on June 5, 2024.
Legal notices were published in the
Panama City News Herald on May 9 and
May 12, 2024. DARPA received two
comments: one from a private
individual and one from the
Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 4. Comments received during
this public review were considered
when preparing the Final EA. DARPA’s
proposed action analyzed in the EA is
for the installation of bio-hybrid oyster
reef structures to test whether such
structures can attenuate wave energy
more effectively than traditional
hardscape solutions to protect coastal
shorelines and infrastructure.
Components would consist of reef

module breakwaters, mosaic oyster
habitat structures, and intertidal
vegetation planting. These structures, or
modules, created using cutting-edge
scientific advances, are intended to
create a self-sustaining oyster reef to
attenuate wave energy and, thus, protect
upland infrastructure by mitigating
damage related to coastal flooding,
erosion, and storm surge. The
geographic scope analyzed in the EA is
a proposed action area of approximately
one acre located off the coast of Baker
Point, Florida that is adjacent to Tyndall
Air Force Base and within East Bay of
the St. Andrew Bay estuary. The
analysis within the EA yielded no
significant impacts to the resources
analyzed and would not result in
significant impacts overall. The EA and
FONSI were prepared in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, as amended (42 United
States Code 4321 et seq.) and Council on
Environmental Quality implementing
regulations (40 Code of Federal
Regulations parts 1500–1508).
