This clearance
is for 24 different collections. Six month approval is granted. PTO
should break the package into categories of information
collections, i.e., requests for information, information required
to register for patent practice, evaluations of services provided,
etc, that are logically related. This will assist the public in
knowing what OMB numbers cover what types of information
collections.
