The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is required by 35 U.S.C. 41(i)(1) to maintain a Public Search Facility to provide patent and trademark collections for searching and retrieval of information. The USPTO issues online access cards to customers who wish to use the electronic search systems at the Public Search Facility. Under the authority provided in 41 CFR Part 102-81, the USPTO also issues security identification badges to members of the public who wish to use the facilities at the USPTO. The public uses this collection to request an online access card or a security identification badge and to register for the free user training courses. In January 2011, the USPTO discontinued the $120 fee for users requesting private instruction for the online search systems available at the Public Search Facility. This fee is being deleted from the collection.

This information collection currently has 10,500 responses, 1,045 burden hours, and $1,982 in annual (non-hour) costs. Due to estimated reductions in the number of submissions, the USPTO estimates that the responses and burden hours for this collection will decrease by 497 responses and 56 burden hours per year due to administrative adjustments. Since the USPTO eliminated the fee for private instruction for the online search systems, the USPTO estimates that the annual (non-hour) costs for this collection will decrease by $480 per year due to a program change. Therefore, the USPTO estimates that this renewal will have 10,003 responses, 989 burden hours, and $1,502 in annual (non-hour) costs due to fees and postage.
