Fax (202) 707–8366. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on January 23, 2008 (73 FR 3898), seeking public comment on five proposed amendments to its regulations at § § 201.1, 201.3, 201.4 and 201.10 of Chapter 37. These were: 1) an amendment communicating the Office’s practices as to its receipt of notices of termination that are untimely; 2) an amendment clarifying that recordation of a notice of termination by the Office does not necessarily mean that the document is legally sufficient; 3) an amendment updating the legibility requirements for all recorded documents, including notices of termination; 4) an amendment making minor explanatory edits to the fee schedule for multiple titles within a document (adding ‘‘e.g. a Notice of Termination’’ as an example); and 5) an amendment establishing a new mailing address to which notices of termination should be sent. (For ease of explanation only, the amendments are herein referred to as amendments one through five.) The Office received two comments, each on February 22, 2008, from Law Professor Daniel N. Ballard, University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law, and from Terrie Bjorkland on behalf of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Both commentators questioned the basis for, and the likely impact of, amendment number two. Mr. Ballard first suggested that there is no justification for the proposed language, and second suggested that rather than being neutral on its face, the language, as worded, might create ‘‘an improper bias against the termination of copyright interests.’’ Ms. Bjorkland observed that the proposal emphasizes the inconclusive impact of the filing of a notice, doing ‘‘little to give artists a sense of comfort that the Copyright Office is facilitating the protection of their right of termination.’’ In addition, she expressed opposition to amendment number one, questioning why the Office should make a determination that a notice is untimely, when ‘‘it is incumbent upon the challenging party to contest the validity of the notice, if appropriate.’’ After considering these comments, the PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Office is adopting all of the aforementioned amendments, but in doing so is rephrasing amendment number two. Background The Copyright Office is an office of public record which receives and records documents that pertain to copyright, including, specifically, notices of termination. Notices of termination may be served by authors (and certain heirs, beneficiaries or representatives of authors who are specified by statute) to extinguish the exclusive or nonexclusive grants of transfers or licenses of copyright or the divisible rights thereunder. The provisions have an equitable function: they exist to allow authors or their heirs a second opportunity to share in the economic success of their works. The termination provisions are set forth in three sections of the law: Sections 304(c), 304(d) and 203 of the 1976 Copyright Act, Title 17 of the United States Code. The sections are similar, though not identical, and they govern distinct categories of works. (None of the sections applies to copyrights in works made for hire or grants made by will.) Section 304(c) governs any work in which the copyright was subsisting in its first or renewal term as of January 1, 1978, and provides for termination of the exclusive or nonexclusive grant of a transfer or license of the renewal copyright (or any right under it) executed before January 1, 1978. Termination may be exercised at any time during a five year period beginning at the end of fifty–six years from the date copyright was originally secured. Section 304(d) provides a termination right for a subset of works for which the termination right under section 304(c) expired (and was not exercised) on or before the effective date (October 27, 1998) of the ‘‘Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act,’’ which extended the copyright term by 20 years. It provides for termination of the exclusive or nonexclusive grant of a transfer or license of the renewal copyright (or any right under it) at any time during a five year period beginning at the end of 75 years from the date copyright was originally secured. Section 203 is limited to grants executed by the author. It provides for termination of the exclusive or nonexclusive grant of copyright (or any right under copyright) executed on or after January 1, 1978 (regardless of whether the copyright was secured prior to 1978). Termination may be exercised at any time during a period of five years beginning at the end of thirty–five years E:\FR\FM\25MRR1.SGM 25MRR1
