Copyright Office
[Docket No. RM 98-9]

 
Privacy Act of 1974: Current Systems of Records

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Notice of current systems of records and of establishment of 
new systems of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is publishing a list of its systems of 
records with descriptions of the records and the ways they are 
maintained, as is required by the Privacy Act of 1974. This updates the 
list published August 16, 1993, and reflects changes, additions and 
deletions of records maintained by the Office since the last 
publication of systems of records. This will enable members of the 
public who wish to access information the Office maintains to make 
accurate and specific requests for such information.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before November 1, 1998. These 
systems of records will become effective November 1, 1998, unless the 
Copyright Office publishes notice to the contrary.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit ten copies of their written 
comments: If by mail to Office of General Counsel, Copyright Office, 
Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20559-6000. By hand to: Office of 
General Counsel, Copyright Office, Library of Congress, James Madison 
Memorial Building, LM 403, 1st and Independence Avenue, SE., 
Washington, DC 20559-6000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marilyn J. Kretsinger, Assistant 
General Counsel, or Patricia L. Sinn, Senior Attorney, Copyright 
Office, Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20559-6000. Telephone: 
(202) 707-8380. Fax: (202) 707-8366.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Copyright Office periodically reviews 
and reports the systems of records it maintains, as directed by terms 
of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), title 5 of the United States 
Code. See 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). The APA applies to certain Copyright 
Office activities

[[Page 51610]]

described in title 17, United States Code, section 701(d). The Office 
last published its systems of records August 16, 1993.
    This publication of the Copyright Office systems of records 
reflects changes in the records maintained in the Office in light of: 
(1) Its new functions and duties under the Uruguay Round Agreements 
Act, Pub. L. 103-465, 108 Stat. 4809, 4976 (1994); (2) its new 
functions and duties under the Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act, 
Pub. L. 103-198, 107 Stat. 2304 (1993) and (3) deletions or additions 
to existing file systems. The Uruguay Round Agreements Act added a new 
section 104A to the Copyright Act of 1976 establishing a procedure for 
restoration of copyright in certain works that had fallen into the 
public domain in the United States. Filings of notices of intent to 
restore copyrights in such works are received by the Office and 
recorded as records maintained here for reference. The Office is 
identifying as a new file CO-27 ``Notices of Intent to Enforce 
Copyrights Restored Under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. The 
Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act created a new system of Copyright 
Arbitration Royalty Panels to administer copyright compulsory licensing 
provisions in sections 111, 114, 115, 118, 119, and Chapter 10. Files 
containing related information and documentation can be found in CO-11-
CO-23.
    The Office is making available as separate file systems: CO-9 
``Freedom of Information Act Annual Reports,'' CO-24 ``Licensing 
Division File of Specialty Station Claimants,'' and CO-28 ``Requests 
for Copyright Office Litigation Statements.'' It is also deleting 
several files that it no longer maintains; these files were formerly 
titled ``Master Index Card Files,'' ``Office Mailing List Files,'' `` 
Secondary Transmission by Cable Systems: Initial Notice of Identity and 
Changes Files,'' and ``Jukebox License Application.''
