SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The Trademark Law Treaty
Implementation Act of 1998 (Pub. L.
105–330, § 302, 112 Stat. 3071) required
the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) to study issues
surrounding the protection of the
official insignia of federally and staterecognized Native American tribes
under trademark law. The USPTO
conducted the study and presented a
report to the House and Senate Judiciary
Committees on November 30, 1999. One

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 51 / Monday, March 16, 2020 / Notices
of the recommendations made in the
report was that the USPTO create and
maintain an accurate and
comprehensive database containing the
official insignia of all federally and
state-recognized Native American tribes.
In accordance with this
recommendation, the Senate Committee
on Appropriations directed the USPTO
to create this database. The USPTO has
established a database to record the
official insignia of federally and staterecognized Native American tribes. This
database is available at the USPTO’s
website, as part of the Trademark
Electronic Search System (TESS). This
information collection includes the
information needed by the USPTO to
enter an official insignia for a federally
or state-recognized Native American
tribe into this database of such insignia.
The USPTO database of official tribal
insignias provides evidence of what a
federally or state-recognized Native
American tribe considers to be its
official insignia. This information
thereby assists trademark examining
attorneys in their examination of
applications for trademark registration
by serving as a reference for determining
the registrability of a mark that may
falsely suggest a connection to the
official insignia of a Native American
tribe. The database, included within
TESS,1 is available to the public, on the
USPTO website, and includes an online
help program for using the system. More
information about the program is
available on the website at https://
www.uspto.gov/trademark/lawsregulations/native-american-tribalinsignia.
Tribes are not required to request that
their official insignia be included in the

database. The entry of an official
insignia into the Trademark systems
does not confer any rights to the tribe
that submitted the insignia, and entry is
not the legal equivalent of registering
the insignia as a trademark under 15
U.S.C. 1051 et seq. The inclusion of an
official tribal insignia in the database
does not create any legal presumption of
validity or priority, does not carry any
of the benefits of federal trademark
registration, and is not a determination
as to whether a particular insignia
would be refused registration as a
trademark pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1051 et
seq.
Requests from federally recognized
tribes to enter an official insignia into
the database must be submitted in
writing and include: (1) A depiction of
the insignia, including the name of the
tribe and the address for
correspondence; (2) a copy of the tribal
resolution adopting the insignia in
question as the official insignia of the
tribe; and (3) a statement, signed by an
official with authority to bind the tribe,
confirming that the insignia included
with the request is identical to the
official insignia adopted by the tribal
resolution.
Requests from state-recognized tribes
must also be in writing and include
each of the three items described above
that are submitted by federally
recognized tribes. Additionally, requests
from state-recognized tribes must
include either: (1) A document issued
by a state official that evidences the
state’s determination that the entity is a
Native American tribe; or (2) a citation
to a state statute designating the entity
as a Native American tribe.

Room, 12001 Business Blvd., Suite 170,
Eagle River, Alaska.
The dates and times of scoping
meetings will also be posted on the
project website and will be announced
in local newspapers of general
circulation no less than 15 days prior to
the meetings.
ADDRESSES: The project website (https://
JBER-PMART-EIS.com) provides more
information on the EIS and can be used
to submit scoping comments. Scoping
comments may also be submitted to:
JBER Public Affairs, JBER.PA@
US.AF.MIl, (907) 552–8151; (U.S. Post
Office) JBER Public Affairs c/o Matthew
Beattie, 10480 Sijan Ave., Suite 123,
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, AK
99506. Comments will be accepted at
any time during the EIS process. To
ensure the USAF has sufficient time to
consider public input in the preparation
of the Draft EIS, scoping comments
should be submitted to the website or
the address listed above by April 26,
2020.
The EIS
will evaluate the potential impacts
associated with the proposed action,
which includes indirect live-fire
training during all-seasons at the Eagle
River Flats (ERF) Impact Area on JBER,
a military base in Alaska, in order to
fully meet Army training standards. The
proposed action also includes
expansion of the ERF impact area by
approximately 585 acres. In addition,
the EIS will evaluate an action
alternative that would marginally meet
Army training standards, and would not
include expansion of the ERF impact
area. The no action alternative will also
be evaluated in the EIS, under which
the Army would continue to train with
the existing seasonal restrictions and
which would require JBER home station
units to deploy to other Armycontrolled training lands to conduct
required training. The USAF is the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) lead agency and the U.S. Army
is a cooperating agency for this EIS
process.
A Notice of Intent for a similar action
was issued in 2007; however, this
Notice of Intent supersedes the Notice of
Intent that was issued in 2007.
Additional review and consultation
which will be incorporated into the
preparation of the Draft EIS will
include, but are not necessarily limited
to consultation under Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act and
consultation under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act.

The proposed actions at JBER have
the potential to be located in a
floodplain and/or wetland. Consistent
with the requirements and objectives of
Executive Order (E.O.) 11990,
‘‘Protection of Wetlands,’’ and E.O.
11988, ‘‘Floodplain Management,’’ state
and federal regulatory agencies with
special expertise in wetlands and
floodplains will be contacted to request
comment. Consistent with E.O. 11988
and E.O. 11990, this Notice of Intent
initiates early public review of the
proposed actions and alternatives,
which have the potential to be located
in a floodplain and/or wetland.
Scoping and Agency Coordination: To
effectively define the full range of issues
to be evaluated in the EIS, the Air Force
will determine the scope of the analysis
by soliciting comments from interested
local, state, and federal elected officials
and agencies, Alaska Native
organizations, as well as interested
members of the public and others. This
is being done by providing a website
where the public can submit comments
and/or by having comments mailed to
the mailing address provided above.
