quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and stakeholders on the Boards services will be unavailable.
The Board will only process a collection under this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
The collections are voluntary;
the collections are low-burden for respondents based on considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or burden-hours per respondent and are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal Government;
the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of concern to other Federal agencies;
any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future;
personally identifiable information is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained;
information gathered is used only internally for general service improvement and program management purposes and not for release outside of the agency;
information gathered is used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and information gathered will yield qualitative information, and the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. Such data uses would require more rigorous designs than the collections covered by this notice.
As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private.
Under the PRA, a federal agency that conducts or sponsors a collection of information must display a currently valid OMB control number. A collection of information, which is defined in 44
U.S.C. 35023 and 5 CFR 1320.3c, includes agency requirements that persons submit reports, keep records, or provide information to the agency, third parties, or the public. Section 3507b of the PRA requires, concurrent with an agencys submitting a collection to OMB
for approval, a 30-day notice and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jacob Ewerdt, Director for Innovation and Intellectual Property, at notoriousmarkets@ustr.eop.gov or 202

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background The United States is concerned with trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy on a commercial scale because these illicit activities cause significant financial losses for right holders, legitimate businesses, and governments.
In addition, they undermine critical U.S. comparative advantages in innovation and creativity to the detriment of American workers, and can pose significant risks to consumer health and safety and privacy and security. Conducted under the auspices of the Special 301 program and the authority of the U.S. Trade Representative to address practices that have significant adverse impact on the value of U.S. innovation, the Notorious Markets List identifies examples of online and physical markets that reportedly engage in and facilitate substantial copyright piracy or trademark counterfeiting that infringe on U.S. intellectual property IP.
Beginning in 2006, USTR identified notorious markets in the annual Special 301 Report. In 2010, USTR announced that it would publish the Notorious Markets List as an Out-of-Cycle Review, separate from the annual Special 301
Report. USTR published the first Notorious Markets List in February 2011. USTR develops the annual Notorious Markets List based upon public comments solicited through the Federal Register and in consultation with Federal agencies that serve on the Special 301 Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff Committee.
The United States encourages owners and operators of markets reportedly involved in piracy or counterfeiting to adopt business models that rely on the licensed distribution of legitimate content and products and to work with right holders and enforcement officials to address infringement. USTR also encourages foreign government authorities to intensify their efforts to
