This collection of information is required by 35 U.S.C. Sec. 2(b)(2)(D) and 32. The Office of Enrollment and Discipline (OED) collects this information to insure compliance with the USPTO Code of Professional Responsibility 37 CFR 10.20-10.112, which describes how attorneys or practitioners should conduct themselves professionally and outlines their responsibilities for record keeping and reporting violations or complaints of misconduct to the USPTO, and with the investigations and Disciplinary Proceedings rules 37 CFR 10.130-10.170, which outline how the USPTO can discipline attorneys and practitioners.

The increase in the responses, burden hours, and annual cost burden for this collection is due to administrative adjustments. The USPTO expects the number of responses for this collection to increase by 103, from 532 to 635 per year and that the burden hours will increase by 1,928, from 10,402 to 12,330 hours per year. The USPTO estimates that the total annual (non-hour) cost burden for this collection will increase by $400, from $87 to $487 per year. This is due not only to increased submissions, but also to an increased postage rate and a recalculation of the weight of the responses.
