			Establishment  of a Special Box
		     for Comments to Proprosed Rulemaking
   
   Effective immediately, the Patent and Trademark Office has established
a special box designator for public comments regarding patent related
regulations and procedures.
   In order to take advantage of this new service, the envelope should
be addressed:
   
	Box Comments - Patents
	Assistant Commissioner for Patents
	Washington, D.C. 20231
   
   Only comments regarding patent related regulations and procedures are
to be placed in the envelope. In order to assist the public, notices
published in the Federal Register or the Official Gazette will
specifically direct that comments be addressed to "Box Comments -
Patents" when appropriate.
