Update on Appeal Rule and Paperwork Reduction Act

Thanks to David Boundy for poiting out that the USPTO has "not made its submission to OMB requesting clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act for the Appeal Rule easily available on its web site. However, the PTO's submission is available at the OMB web site."

According to David,

The single most important document is this one
