I wouldn't use the word "illegal" - it's a directive of OMB (the White House's management and budget office), not a law or a regulation or an executive order. The only true enforcers are OMB themselves.
But to answer your other question, as part of the Department of Commerce, a "CFO Act" agency, USPTO would not be exempt.
- kakarot 9y agoThank you for clearing that up. Are you aware of what kind of consequences might be incurred at the expense of disobeying the OMB as a government entity?
