AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of amendment of Privacy Act system of records.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is amending the system of records currently listed under ``COMMERCE/PAT-TM-18 USPTO Identification and Security Access Control Systems.'' This action is being taken to revise the Privacy Act Notice to include the information necessary for identification [[Page 63136]] cards that meet the standards set by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) ``Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors''(August 27, 2004). The system of records will also be renamed ``COMMERCE/PAT-TM-18 USPTO Personal Identification Verification (PIV) and Security Access Control Systems.'' We invite the public to comment on the amended system noted in this publication.

DATES: Written comments must be received no later than November 24, 2008. The proposed amendments will become effective on November 24, 2008, unless the USPTO receives comments that would result in a contrary determination.
