    The Department of Commerce encourages, serves, and promotes the Nation's
    international trade, economic growth, and technological advancement. The
    Department provides a wide variety of programs through the competitive
    free enterprise system. It offers assistance and information to increase
    America's competitiveness in the world economy; administers programs to
    prevent unfair foreign trade competition; provides social and economic
    statistics and analyses for business and government planners; provides
    research and support for the increased use of scientific, engineering,
    and technological development; works to improve our understanding and
    benefits of the Earth's physical environment and oceanic resources;
    grants patents and registers trademarks; develops policies and conducts
    research on telecommunications; provides assistance to promote domestic
    economic development; and assists in the growth of minority businesses.

    The Department was designated as such by act of March 4, 1913 (15 U.S.C.
    1501), which reorganized the Department of Commerce and Labor, created
    by act of February 14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501), by transferring all labor
    activities into a new, separate Department of Labor. The Department of
    Commerce (DOC) is composed of the Office of the Secretary and the
    operating units.

    Office of the Secretary

    Secretary  The Secretary is responsible for the administration of all
    functions and authorities assigned to the Department of Commerce and for
    advising the President on Federal policy and programs affecting the
    industrial and commercial segments of the national economy. The
    Secretary is served by the offices of Deputy Secretary, Inspector
    General, General Counsel, and the Assistant Secretaries of
    Administration, Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, and Public
    Affairs. Other offices whose public purposes are widely administered are
    detailed below.

    Business Liaison  This office develops and promotes a cooperative
    working relationship and ensures effective communication between the
    Department of Commerce and the business community. The Office's
    objectives are to keep the business community aware of Department and
    administration resources, policies, and programs, and to keep Department
    and administration officials aware of issues of concern to business. The
    Office also promotes business involvement in departmental policymaking
    and program development, and provides technical assistance to businesses
    that desire help in dealing with the Government.

    For further information, call 202-482-3942.

    Consumer Affairs  This office seeks to promote a better understanding
    between businesses and consumers, to help business improve the quality
    of their services, to educate consumers to make wise purchasing
    decisions, and to provide the consumer viewpoint in the development of
    economic policy. Through a variety of programs, the Office works with
    businesses, consumers, Government agencies, and international
    organizations to develop innovative ways to encourage American
    businesses to become more competitive both in the United States and in
    the global marketplace.

    For further information, contact the Office of Consumer Affairs, U.S.

    Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization  The Office of Small and
    Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) serves as the principal
    departmental advocate for small, minority, and women business owners. It
    assures that small firms fully participate in Commerce programs and
    receive the maximum amount of Commerce contract and subcontract dollars.
        The Office is the focal point of the Department's constant efforts
    to increase awards to small firms by searching for

    [[Page 150]]

    [[Page 151]]

    opportunities to match with the capabilities of small, minority, and
    women-owned firms.
        It informs the small business community about Commerce opportunities
    by publishing the Annual Forecast of Contracts, by individual
    counseling, and by participating with other Federal agencies and trade
    associations at procurement fairs.
        The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization was
    established by the Small Business Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 644).

    policy. The Under Secretary, as Administrator of the Economics and

    of the Census and the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
        Current economic data are available to the public through the
    National Trade Data Bank and the Economic Bulletin Board.

    Bureau of the Census

    [For the Bureau of the Census statement of organization, see the Federal
    Register of Sept. 16, 1975, 40 FR 42765]

    The Bureau of the Census was established as a permanent office by act of
    March 6, 1902 (32 Stat. 51). The major functions of the Bureau are
    authorized by the Constitution, which provides that a census of
    population shall be taken every 10 years, and by laws codified as title
    13 of the United States Code. The law also provides that the information
    collected by the Bureau from individual persons, households, or
    establishments be kept strictly confidential and be used only for
    statistical purposes.
        The principal functions of the Bureau include:
        --decennial censuses of population and housing;
        --quinquennial censuses of State and local governments,
    manufacturers, mineral industries, distributive trades, construction
    industries, and transportation;
        --current surveys that provide information on many of the subjects
    covered in the censuses at monthly, quarterly, annual, or other
    intervals;
        --compilation of current statistics on U.S. foreign trade, including
    data on imports, exports, and shipping;
        --special censuses at the request and expense of States and local
    government units;
        --publication of estimates and projections of the population;
        --publication of current data on population and housing
    characteristics; and
        --current reports on manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade,
    services, construction, imports and exports, State and local government
    finances and employment, and other subjects.
        The Bureau makes available statistical results of its censuses,
    surveys, and other programs to the public through printed reports,
    computer tape, CD-ROM's, the Internet, and other media and prepares
    special tabulations sponsored and paid for by data users. It also
    produces statistical compendia, catalogs, guides, and directories that
    are useful in locating information on specific subjects. Upon

    [[Page 152]]

    request, the Bureau makes searches of decennial census records and
    furnishes certificates to individuals for use as evidence of age,
    relationship, or place of birth. A fee is charged for searches.

    Bureau of Export Administration

    [For the Bureau of Export Administration statement of organization, see
    the Federal Register of June 7, 1988, 53 FR 20881]

    The Bureau of Export Administration was established as a separate agency
    within the Department of Commerce on October 1, 1987, to separate the
    functions of export promotion and export control as mandated by the
    Export Administration Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. app. 2401 et seq.).
        The Bureau directs the Nation's export control policy. Major
    functions include processing license applications, conducting foreign
    availability studies to determine when products should be decontrolled,
    and enforcing U.S. export control laws.
    Export Administration  This office oversees export licensing, technology
    and policy analysis, economic security and nonproliferation issues, and
    foreign availability determinations. These activities are instrumental
    in reducing processing time for granting export licenses and in keeping
    the list of controlled technology consistent with current risks. This
    office also works with our allies in seeking stronger, more uniform ways
    of controlling strategic exports.
    Export Enforcement  This office investigates breaches of U.S. export
    control laws and analyzes export intelligence to assess diversion risks.
    In addition, this office administers and enforces the antiboycott
    provisions of the Export Administration Act.

    Economic Development Administration

    The Economic Development Administration (EDA) was created in 1965 under
    the Public Works and Economic Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3121) as part
    of an effort to target Federal resources to economically distressed
    areas and to help develop local economies in the United States. It was
    mandated to assist rural and urban communities that were outside the
    mainstream economy and that, as a result, lagged in economic
    development, industrial growth, and personal income.
        The Administration's economic development assistance programs
    (EDAP's) are carried out through a network of headquarters and regional
    personnel. It provides grants for public works and development
    facilities, planning and coordination, defense conversion, and other
    financial assistance that help to reduce substantial and persistent
    unemployment in economically distressed areas.
         Public works and development facilities grants support
    infrastructure projects that foster the establishment or expansion of
    industrial and commercial businesses, supporting the retention and
    creation of jobs.
        Planning grants support the design and implementation of effective
    economic development policies and programs, by local development
    organizations, in States and communities.
        Technical assistance grants provide for local feasibility and
    industry studies, management and operational assistance, natural
    resource development, and export promotion. In addition, EDA funds a
    network of university centers that provides technical assistance.
        Research, evaluation, and demonstration funds are used to support
    studies about the causes of economic distress and to seek solutions to
    counteract and prevent such problems.
        Economic readjustment grants help communities adjust to a gradual
    erosion or sudden dislocation of their local economic structure.
        Defense conversion grants assist communities adversely affected by
    Department of Defense base closures and defense contract cutbacks, as
    well as Department of Energy realignments, by providing development
    tools that can be effectively and easily implemented.
        The Trade Adjustment Assistance Program provides technical
    assistance to certified firms and industries which have been
    economically injured by the impact of decreased imports. Comprehensive
    technical assistance is provided through the Department's wide-ranging
    network of assistance centers.

    supports the trade policy negotiation efforts of the U.S. Trade
    Representative.

    Import Administration  The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Import
    Administration defends American industry against injurious and unfair
    trade practices by administering efficiently, fairly, and in a manner
    consistent with U.S. international trade obligations the antidumping and
    countervailing duty laws of the United States; the machine tool
    arrangements with Japan and Taiwan under the President's Machine Tool

    Pacific; Africa and the Near East; and Japan), the Office analyzes and
    develops recommendations for region- and country-specific international
    economic, trade, and investment policy strategies and objectives. In
    addition, the Office is responsible for implementing, monitoring, and
    enforcing foreign compliance with bilateral and multilateral trade
    agreements.

    Minority Business Development Agency

    [For the Minority Business Development Agency statement of organization,
    see the Federal Register of Mar. 17, 1972, 37 FR 5650, as amended]

    The Minority Business Development Agency, formerly the Office of
    Minority Business Enterprise, was established by the Secretary of
    Commerce on November 1, 1979, and operates under the authority of
    Executive Order 11625 of October 13, 1971. The Agency develops and
    coordinates a national program for minority business enterprise.
        The Agency was created to assist minority businesses in achieving

    [[Page 159]]

    effective and equitable participation in the American free enterprise
    system and in overcoming social and economic disadvantages that have
    limited their participation in the past. The Agency provides national
    policies and leadership in forming and strengthening a partnership of
    business, industry, and government with the Nation's minority
    businesses.
        Management and technical assistance is provided to minority firms on
    request, primarily through a network of Minority Business Development
    Centers funded by the Agency, as well as Minority Enterprise Growth

    [For the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration statement of
    organization, see the Federal Register of Feb. 13, 1978, 43 FR 6128]

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was formed on
    October 3, 1970, by Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970 (5 U.S.C. app.).
    Its principal functions are authorized by title 15, chapter 9, United
    States Code (National Weather Service); title 33, chapter 17, United
    States Code (National Ocean Survey); and title 16, chapter 9, United
    States Code (National Marine Fisheries Service).
        The Administration's mission is to explore, map, and chart the
    global ocean and its living resources and to manage, use, and conserve
    those resources; to describe, monitor, and predict conditions in the
    atmosphere, ocean, Sun, and space environment; to issue warnings against
    impending destructive natural events; to assess the consequences of
    inadvertent environmental modification over several scales of time; and
    to manage and disseminate long-term environmental information.

    [[Page 160]]

        The Administration is responsible for reporting the weather of the
    United States and its possessions and provides weather forecasts to the
    general public; issuing warnings against such destructive natural events
    as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and tsunamis; and providing services
    in support of aviation, marine activities, agriculture, forestry, urban
    air-quality control, and other weather-sensitive activities. The
    Administration also monitors and reports all non-Federal weather
    modification activities conducted in the United States.
        The Administration conducts an integrated program of management,
    research, and services related to the protection and rational use of
    living marine resources and their habitats, and protects marine mammals
    and endangered marine species. It prepares and issues nautical and
    aeronautical charts, provides the Nation's precise geodetic surveys, and
    conducts broad research programs in marine and atmospheric sciences,
    solar-terrestrial physics, and experimental meteorology. The
    Administration also predicts tides, currents, and the state of the
    oceans; conducts research and development aimed at providing
    alternatives to ocean dumping; and develops sound national policies in
    the areas of ocean mining and energy. It provides Federal leadership in
    promoting wise and balanced management of the Nation's coastal zone.
        In addition, the Administration provides satellite observations of
    the environment by operating a national environmental satellite system;
    and conducts an integrated program of research and services relating to
    the oceans and inland waters, the lower and upper atmosphere, space
    environment, and the Earth to increase understanding of the geophysical
    environment. It acquires, stores, and disseminates worldwide
    environmental data through a system of meteorological, oceanographic,
    geodetic, and seismological data centers.
        The Administration also manages and directs the oceanic research
    programs by providing grants to institutions for marine research,
    education, and advisory services; develops a system of data buoys for
    automatically obtaining and disseminating marine environmental data; and
    promotes the development of technology to meet future needs of the
    marine community.

    Patent and Trademark Office

    [For the Patent and Trademark Office statement of organization, see the
    Federal Register of Apr. 14, 1975, 40 FR 16707]

    The patent system was established by Congress ``. . . to promote the
    progress of . . . the useful arts. . .'' under Article I, section 8,
    U.S. Constitution (title 35, United States Code: Patents). The
    registration of trademarks is based on the commerce clause of the U.S.
    Constitution (title 15, United States Code, chapter 22: Trademarks). The
    Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) grants patents and registers
    trademarks to qualified applicants.
        The Office examines applications for patents to determine if the
    applicants are entitled to patents under the law and grants the patents
    when they are so entitled. The patent law provides for the granting of
    patents in three major categories: utility patents, design patents, and
    plant patents. The term of a design patent is 14 years from the date of
    grant.

    [[Page 164]]

    The term of utility and plant patents is 20 years measured from the
    earliest effective U.S. filing date, if the application for patent was
    filed on or after June 8, 1995.For utility or plant patents that were in
    force on June 8, 1995, or that result from an application filed prior to
    June 8, 1995, the term shall be the longer of 17 years measured from the
    date of grant or 20 years measured from the earliest effective U.S.
    filing date.
        All utility patents are subject to the payment of maintenance fees.
    Effective June 8, 1995, applicants may file provisional applications for
    patents in the PTO. Provisional applications are available for utility
    and plant inventions but not design inventions. Provisional applications
    are not examined and will become abandoned by operation of law within
    one year of the filing date of the provisional application. The
    provisional application itself cannot mature into a patent. However, if
    applicants wish to obtain a patent on the invention disclosed in a
    provisional application, applicants must file a nonprovisional
    application not later than 12 months from the filing date of the
    provisional application.
        The Office also issues Statutory Invention Registrations, which have
    the defensive but not the enforceable attributes of a patent. It also
    processes international applications for patents under the provisions of
    the Patent Cooperation Treaty as an International Searching Authority
    under Chapter I of the Treaty and as an International Preliminary
    Examining Authority under Chapter II of the Treaty.
        Over 116,500 patents providing inventors with exclusive rights were
    issued for the fiscal year of 1996. Effective January 1, 1996, patentees
    have the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale,
    or selling the invention throughout the U.S. or importing the invention
    into the U.S. during the term of their patent. Patents and trademarks
    may be reviewed and searched in the PTO and in over 78 patent and
    trademark depository libraries throughout the country. The patent system
    fosters innovation, investment in developing and marketing inventions,
    and prompt disclosure of technological information.
        About 78,500 trademarks were registered for fiscal year 1996, and
    7,346 trademark registrations were renewed. A trademark includes any
    distinctive word, name, symbol, device, or any combination thereof
    adopted and used, or intended to be used, by a manufacturer or merchant
    to identify his goods or services and distinguish them from those
    manufactured or sold by others. Trademarks, registered for 10 years,
    with renewal rights of equal term, are examined by the Office for
    compliance with various statutory requirements to prevent unfair
    competition and consumer deception.
        In addition to the examination of patent and trademark applications,
    issuance of patents, and registration of trademarks, the Patent and
    Trademark Office:
        --sells printed copies of issued patents and trademark
    registrations;
        --records and indexes documents transferring ownership;
        --maintains a scientific library and search files containing over 30
    million documents, including U.S. and foreign patents and U.S.
    trademarks;
        --provides search rooms for the public to research their
    applications;
        --hears and decides appeals from prospective inventors and trademark
    applicants;
        --participates in legal proceedings involving the issue of patents
    or registration of trademarks;
        --advocates strengthening intellectual property protection
    worldwide;
        --compiles the Official Gazettes, a weekly notice of patents issued
    and trademarks registered by the Office, including other information;
    and
        --maintains a roster of patent agents and attorneys qualified and
    recognized to practice before the Office.
