Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2022 / Notices
Rebuild Trust in Government (Dec. 13,
2021). This survey narrows the focus of
customer satisfaction to examination
quality and uses a longitudinal, rotating
panel design to assess changes in
customer perceptions and to identify
key areas for examiner training and
opportunities for improvement. The
USPTO surveys patent agents, attorneys,
and other individuals from large
domestic corporations (including those
with 500+ employees), small and
medium-size businesses, independent
inventors, and universities, and other
non-profit research organizations. This
survey does not include foreign entities.
The USPTO random sample used in this
survey is drawn from the Patent
Application and Location Management
(PALM) database. The sample
population is drawn from the top filing
firms and entities that have filed five or
more patent applications in a 12-month
period. This ongoing survey is generally
conducted twice a year. The USPTO
uses a rotating panel design where
participants will take the survey twice
in back-to-back survey periods. Half the
participants in each survey period are
new, completing the survey for the first
time, and half are returning to complete
the survey for a second time. This
design allows a precise measurement of
changes in customer experience over
time. The Patents External Quality
Survey is primarily a web-based survey,
although respondents can also complete
the survey via paper and mail if they
prefer. The content of both versions is
identical. Potential respondents are sent
either an email or mailed pre-survey
letter, depending on noted preferences
for contact. At the beginning of each
survey period, respondents are provided
instructions for accessing and
completing the survey electronically.
After a specified response period, a
survey packet containing a
questionnaire, a separate cover letter
prepared by the Deputy Commissioner
for Patents, and a postage-paid,
preaddressed return envelope are
mailed to all sample members that have
not yet submitted a response. Sampled
members receiving a paper survey can
still complete the survey electronically
if they prefer. Reminder/thank you
postcards and telephone calls are used
to encourage responses from sample
members.

Abstract: Section 502 of the GrammLeach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (Pub. L. 106–

disclosure requirements (e.g., provision
of initial privacy notices, annual
notices, notices of revisions to the
institution’s privacy policy and opt-out
notices) and the consumer has not
elected to opt out of the information
sharing. The Bureau promulgated
Regulation P (12 CFR 1016) to
implement the GLBA notice
requirements and restrictions on a
financial institution’s ability to disclose
nonpublic personal information about
consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.

timely and secure response by

consumers.2
