Copyright Office Technical Amendments
Issue No. 637 - October 3, 2016
The U.S. Copyright Office today published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, seeking public comments on proposed technical amendments to its regulations governing registration, recordation, licensing, and other services the Office provides. The amendments are designed to improve the quality of the Office’s regulations by updating cross-references, replacing outdated terminology, reflecting structural changes to the Office and its senior management, eliminating expired or obsolete provisions, and correcting nonsubstantive errors. While these amendments are intended to be technical in nature, out of an abundance of caution, the Office is publishing the proposed regulations for public comment.
The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and instructions on how to submit a comment are available here. Written comments must be received no later than November 2, 2016, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
