Sunshine Act Notice, 14506-14507 [2017-05622]

Download as PDF 14506 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 21, 2017 / Notices mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES services to feature a ‘‘buy’’ button that a consumer must click on in order to obtain digital content, and they offered differing views as to what consumers believe they have obtained when they click on such a button. The goal of this meeting is to explore issues and facilitate a discussion on how best to ensure that license terms related to copyright are clearly and effectively communicated to potential consumers in the online environment. We will not address whether the first sale doctrine should be applicable to digital transmissions, which the White Paper discussed at length (see Background Section above), or what license terms should or should not be imposed, but will focus on nonlegislative solutions, which may include voluntary best practices. One discussion topic will focus on what copyright-related terms and conditions are important to communicate to consumers in the online environment. Some examples of possible terms include: Ownership (i.e., whether ownership is transferred); use restrictions (e.g., restrictions for noncommercial purposes; geographical limitations; limits to a certain number of viewings or devices); and/or transfer conditions (e.g., restrictions on resale or other distribution). Another discussion topic will focus on identifying best practices for how to inform consumers about the intellectual property rights associated with the content they are accessing or acquiring, and what activities they are permitted to engage in without implicating those rights. Questions to be addressed may include: • What term or terms can clearly communicate what consumers are paying for? • What term or terms should not be used (e.g., ‘‘buy,’’ ‘‘own,’’ or ‘‘purchase’’) in a digital transaction that is not a sale? • Would a standardized form of notice, placed in or accessed from a conspicuous location on an e-commerce Web site or app be helpful? • Would standard icons or symbols be helpful in communicating the terms, and what might those look like? • Are there consumer messaging models from other fields (e.g., in the consumer privacy context) that can provide useful lessons or examples in this area? Finally, participants should be prepared to discuss whether additional work should be done to identify best practices in this area, and if so, in what forum and how. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Mar 20, 2017 Jkt 241001 Public Meeting On April 18, 2017, the Task Force will hold a public meeting to hear views on these issues, including on the process going forward. We seek participation and comment from interested stakeholders, including in particular online services that offer digital transmissions of works to consumers, as well as creators, right holders, consumers, marketing professionals, user interface designers, public interest groups, and academics.

Title of Collection: Study of An Information Strategy to Increase Enrollment in Postsecondary Education. OMB Control Number: 1850—NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 14,180. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 647. Abstract: This demonstration study will evaluate the use of a promising messaging strategy designed to help TRIO Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) grantees meet the program’s goal of increasing college enrollment. EOCs are hosted at postsecondary institutions or nonprofit organizations and generally serve low-income individuals who are 19 years and older—most of whom are potential first-generation college-goers. The study will evaluate whether systematic text messaging can enhance EOCs’ counseling services and lead to increased Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) completion and postsecondary education enrollment rates. Across 20 EOCs, approximately 6,000 adults will be randomly assigned to receive EOCs’ typical services or to receive EOCs’ typical services plus the text messaging. Dated: March 16, 2017.
