OMB Control Number: 0651–0028.
Form Number:
•PTO–1611 (Application for Recordal
of Insignia or Renewal/Reactivation of
Recordal Under the Fastener Quality
Act)
Type of Review: Extension and
revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 96
respondents per year.
Estimated Time per Response: The
USPTO estimates that it will take the
public approximately 30 minutes (0.5
hours) to gather the necessary
information, prepare the form, and
submit the request for recordal or
renewal of a fastener insignia to the
USPTO.
Estimated Total Annual Respondent
Burden Hours: 48 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Non-Hour
Cost Burden: $2,136.
Needs and Uses: Under Section 5 of
the Fastener Quality Act (FQA) of 1999,
(15 U.S.C. 5401 et seq.), certain
industrial fasteners must bear an
insignia identifying the manufacturer. It
is also mandatory for manufacturers of
fasteners covered by the FQA to submit
an application to the USPTO for
recordal of the insignia on the Fastener
Insignia Register. The purpose of
requiring both the insignia and the
recordation is to ensure that certain
fasteners can be traced to their
manufacturers and to protect against the
sale of mismarked, misrepresented, or
counterfeit fasteners. The procedures for
the recordal of fastener insignia under
the FQA are set forth in 15 CFR 280.300
et seq.
This information collection covers
data gathered by the FQA applications
for Recordal of Insignia and the
applications for Renewal/Reactivation
of Recordal. The USPTO uses the
information in this information
collection to record or renew insignias
under the FQA and to maintain the
Fastener Insignia Register, which is
open to public inspection. The public
may download the Fastener Insignia
Register from the USPTO website at

regulations/fastener-quality-act-fqa/
