Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The USPTO has recently eliminated the $25 fee for public training courses offered for the online search systems at the Public Search Facility. The public training fee is being deleted from this collection, and the estimated time for completing the user training registration forms has also been reduced from ten minutes to five minutes due to the removal of the payment information from the forms. This program change resulted in an estimated burden reduction of 11 hours and $2,400 in annual costs. Additional burden reductions of 41 hours are due to adjustments in agency estimates.
