SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 29, 2022, the USPTO published a 
Federal Register Notice concerning a new petition option for 
participation in the Expanded CSP Program. See Expanded Collaborative 
Search Pilot Program--New Combined Petition Option For Participation, 
87 FR 17995. The USPTO inadvertently submitted the notice for 
publication prematurely. Discussions are continuing with our 
counterpart offices (the Japan Patent Office and the Korean 
Intellectual Property Office) to finalize the program's new petition 
option. Therefore, the USPTO hereby withdraws the notice. The USPTO 
looks forward to completing its discussions and publishing a 
forthcoming notice announcing the effective date and details of the new 
petition option.

Andrew Hirshfeld,
Commissioner for Patents, Performing the Functions and Duties of the 
Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of 
the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
