Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 183 / Friday, September 24, 2021 / Rules and Regulations burdens imposed on the public. This interim rule does not involve information collection requirements that are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
44 U.S.C. 35013549. An applicant who wishes to participate in the prioritized examination program must submit a certification and request to participate in the program, preferably by using Form PTO/AIA/424. However, OMB has determined that, under 5 CFR
1320.3h, Form PTO/AIA/424 does not collect information within the meaning of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Therefore, this rulemaking does not impose any additional collection requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act that are subject to further review by OMB.
