The United States Copyright
Office (‘‘Office’’) seeks comments on
proposals to exempt certain classes of
works from the prohibition on
circumvention of technological
measures that control access to
copyrighted works. The Office has
initiated a rulemaking proceeding in
accordance with provisions added by
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(‘‘DMCA’’) which provide that the
Librarian of Congress (‘‘Librarian’’),
upon the recommendation of the
Register of Copyrights, may exempt
certain classes of works from the
prohibition against circumvention. The
purpose of this proceeding is to
determine whether there are particular
classes of works as to which users are,
or are likely to be, adversely affected in
their ability to make noninfringing uses
due to the prohibition on
circumvention. This notice publishes
the classes of works received by the
Office, which were proposed by several
parties in the comment period that
ended on December 1, 2011.
DATES: Comments addressing the
Proposed Classes of Works are due by
5 p.m. E.S.T., February 10, 2012. Reply
comments addressing points made in
the initial comments are due by 5 p.m.
E.S.T. on March 2, 2012.
ADDRESSES: All Proposed Classes of
Works are available on the Copyright
Office Web site at: https://
www.copyright.gov/1201/2011/initial/
and at the U.S. Copyright Office, James
Madison Memorial Building, Room LM–
401, 101 Independence Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC. The Copyright Office
strongly prefers that comments filed in
response to the Proposed Classes of
Works be submitted electronically. A

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 29, 2011, the Office
published a Notice of Inquiry in the
Federal Register to initiate the fifth
triennial rulemaking proceeding
required by § 1201(a)(1)(C) of the
Copyright Act. See 76 FR 60398 (Sept.
29, 2011). That notice requested
comments from interested parties
proposing classes of works that should
be considered for exemption for the next
three-year period. The Office received
20 separate filings, proposing 26 classes
of works for exemption.1 On December
5, 2011, the Copyright Office posted all
of the filings received (the ‘‘Proposed
Classes of Works’’) on its Web site. See
https://www.copyright.gov/1201/2011/
initial/. In order to provide additional
notice to interested parties, the
Copyright Office is hereby publishing
the Proposed Classes of Works with
identification of the person(s) and/or
1 This is an approximation based on the manner
in which the proposed classes were articulated. In
some cases, the proposed class involved multiple
categories of works within the class that could have
been articulated as multiple classes. In other cases,
there were multiple proposals that were variations
on the same theme that could have been expressed
as one class. In addition, a number of parties
proposed similar classes. The Office has chosen to
group together related classes in this Notice in order
to help focus the many exemption requests.
