`
`Applicant is reminded that 37 CFR 1.28(c)(2)(i) requires that “the deficiency owed for each
`previousfee erroneously paid as a small entity is the difference between the current fee amount
`(for other than a small entity) on the date the deficiency is paid in full and the amountof the
`previous erroneous(small entity) fee payment...Where a fee paid in error as a small entity was
`subject to a fee decrease between the time the fee was paid in error and the time the deficiency
`is paid in full, the deficiency owed is equal to the amount (previously) paid in error;” Emphasis
