Copyright Office Makes Technical Amendments Regarding Copyright Renewal (66 FR 24267)

The Copyright Office is making technical amendments in the regulation regarding copyright renewal to reflect the modification in duration of the extended renewal term from forty-seven to sixty-seven years as a result of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (Pub. L. 105-298). These technical amendments add a reference to Pub. L. 105-298 and substitute sixty-seven years in places where the renewal regulation designates forty-seven years.
