Copyright Office Announces Technical Amendment
Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel Rules and Procedures
37 CFR Part 251, Docket No. 2011–5, 7/13/2011
The Copyright Office is making an amendment to its regulations by removing Part 251, Code of Federal Regulations, “Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel Rules and Procedures.”
In 2004, Congress replaced the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels with three Copyright Royalty Judges, who operate under separate regulations. The Office, however, had retained its regulations after this transition in order to complete open proceedings and as a historical reference for those determinations that had been decided under the CARP system and had been appealed.
Removal of these regulations is thus an administrative task taken to remove regulations that have not been needed for a while.
