Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA) 12/28/1987
PTO has not fulfilled two of the three conditions that were placed on the one year approval for this package. First, it has not updated its forms to show the OMB approval number and expiration date. More important, OMB had recommended consolidating forms within groups and not consolidating the entire package, which PTO says is not possible. PTO has not responded adequately in its supporting statement to this recommendation, or to the Department's request to examine and justify the need for 48 different forms for the application process. It has merely resubmitted the same package it submitted for approval last year. Therefore, this package is disapproved so that PTO may address these concerns promptly.
