[Docket No. RM 2011–7] 

Notice of Public Hearings: Exemption 

to Prohibition on Circumvention of 

Copyright Protection Systems for 

Access Control Technologies 

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of 

Congress. 

ACTION: Notice of Public Hearings. 

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the 

Library of Congress (‘‘Office’’) will be 

holding public hearings on the possible 

exemptions to the prohibition against 

circumvention of technological 

measures that control access to 

copyrighted works. In accordance with 

the Copyright Act, as amended by the 

Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the 

Office is conducting its triennial 

rulemaking proceeding to determine 

whether there are particular ‘‘classes of

1As noted above, demonstrations of technology 

should be presented at the May 11 hearing. Any 

witness wishing to present audiovisual material or 

demonstrative evidence at the later hearings must 

request permission to do so in their requests to 

testify and explain why it is more appropriate to 

present that material at the later hearings than to 

do so at the May 11 hearing. The Office will 

carefully scrutinize such requests. 

works’’ as to which users are, or are 

likely to be, adversely affected in their 

ability to make noninfringing uses if 

they are prohibited from circumventing 

such technological measures. The first 

day of hearings will be dedicated to 

demonstrations of technology relevant 

to the rulemaking proceeding. 

DATES: The first public hearing, 

confined to demonstrations of 

technology, will be held in Washington, 

DC on Friday, May 11, 2012 at 10 a.m. 

Public hearings will also be conducted 

in Los Angeles, California at 9 a.m. on 

Thursday, May 17, 2012 and Friday, 

May 18, 2012, and in Washington, DC 

at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 31, 2012, 

Friday, June 1, 2012, and Monday, June 

4 through Wednesday, June 6, 2012. 

Requests to testify must be received by 

5 p.m. E.D.T. on Monday, April 2, 2012. 

See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

below for more information on the 

hearing dates and for additional 

information on other requirements. 

ADDRESSES: The Los Angeles hearings 

will be held in the Moot Courtroom 

(Room 1310) of the University of 

California, Los Angeles, School of Law, 

405 Hilgard Avenue, Los Angeles, CA. 

The Washington, DC round of public 

hearings will be held in the Copyright 

Hearing Room, LM–408 of the James 

Madison Building of the Library of 

Congress, 101 Independence Ave. SE., 

Washington, DC. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for additional address 

information and other requirements. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ben 

Golant, Assistant General Counsel, 

Office of the General Counsel, Copyright 

GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Washington, 

DC 20024–0400. Telephone (202) 707– 

8380; fax (202) 707–8366. Requests to 

testify may be submitted through the 

request form available at http:// 

www.copyright.gov/1201/hearingrequest. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 29, 2011, the Copyright 

Office published a Notice of Inquiry 

seeking comments in connection with 

its rulemaking pursuant to Section 

1201(a)(1) of the Copyright Act, 17 

U.S.C. 1201(a)(1), which provides that 

the Librarian of Congress may exempt 

certain classes of works from the 

prohibition against circumventing a 

technological measure that controls 

access to a copyrighted work. 76 FR 

60398 (Sept. 29, 2011). On December 20, 

2011, the Office published a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking listing the 

proposed exemptions and requesting 

responsive comments. 76 FR 78866 

(Dec. 20, 2011). The classes of works 

proposed for exemption and the 

responsive comments and reply 

comments have been posted on the 

Office’s Web site, along with the other 

notices published in the current 

rulemaking proceeding and a more 

complete statement of the background 

and purpose of the rulemaking. See 

http://www.copyright.gov/1201/. 

The Office will be conducting public 

hearings in Los Angeles, California and 

Washington, DC to hear testimony 

relating to the proposed exemptions in 

this rulemaking. Interested parties are 

invited to submit requests to testify at 

these hearings. The dates for the 

hearings in Los Angeles, CA are May 17, 

2012 and May 18, 2012. The dates for 

the Washington, DC hearings are May 

31, June 1, 2012, and June 4 through 

June 6, 2012. Depending on the number 

of requests to testify received by the 

Copyright Office, it may not be 

necessary to conduct hearings on all of 

the available days. Updated information 

on the times and dates of the hearings 

may be found at http:// 

www.copyright.gov/1201/. The hearings 

will be organized by subject matter, and 

while the Copyright Office will attempt 

to accommodate preferences for 

particular dates, such accommodations 

may not be possible. 

These hearings will be organized into 

separate sessions on each of the 

proposed classes of works. Witnesses 

testifying in support of and in 

opposition to each class will testify as 

part of the same panel. Testimony shall 

consist of presentations of facts and 

legal argument, followed by questions 

from Copyright Office staff. 

In addition to the hearings described 

above, the Office will be conducting a 

special ‘‘Technology Hearing’’ to give 

proponents and opponents of proposed 

classes of works an opportunity to 

conduct demonstrations of various 

technologies pertinent to the merits of 

the proposals. This hearing will be 

primarily factual in nature. Witnesses 

wishing to present demonstrations are 

asked to do so at this hearing rather than 

at the other hearings, in order to permit 

the other hearings to proceed on 

schedule. Witnesses will be responsible 

for providing any hardware or software 

necessary to conduct a demonstration. 

This hearing shall take place on Friday, 

May 11, 2012 in Washington, DC. The 

Office believes that conducting this 

hearing one week before the 

commencement of the other hearings 

will give Copyright Office staff and 

other witnesses an opportunity to take 

the technology demonstrations into 

account at the later hearings. The Office 

is exploring the possibility of 

audiovisual streaming of the 

Technology Hearing, at least to persons 

who will be witnesses at the later 

hearing and will be unable to attend the 

Technology Hearing. However, at this 

time the Office does not know whether 

that will be possible. Persons wishing to 

testify at the later hearings who wish to 

have access to such streaming if it is 

available should indicate their interest 

in their requests to testify. 

All hearings will be open to the 

public, but seating will be limited. 

Witnesses and persons accompanying 

witnesses will be given priority in 

seating. 

Requirements for persons desiring to 

testify: A request to testify must be 

submitted to the Copyright Office. All 

requests to testify must clearly identify: 

• For all hearings: 

• The name of the person desiring to 

testify, 

• The organization or organizations 

represented, if any, 

• Contact information (address, 

telephone, and email), 

• The class of work on which you 

wish to testify (if you wish to testify 

on more than one proposed class of 

work, please state your order of 

preference). 

• For the May 11 Technology Hearing: 

• A description of the technology you 

intend to demonstrate, 

• Identification of the proposed 

class(es) of works to which the 

technology is relevant, 

• Identification of any technical 

requirements (including hardware 

and software) for the 

demonstration, 

• An estimate of the length of time of 

the demonstration. 

• For the May 17–18 and May 31–June 

6 hearings: 

• A brief summary of your proposed 

testimony, 

• A description of any audiovisual 

material or demonstrative evidence, 

if any, that you intend to present,1

• A description of any material you 

intend to distribute, if any, at the 

hearing, 

• The location of the hearing at which 

you wish to testify (Washington, DC 

or Los Angeles, CA), 

• Dates on which you wish to testify 

in order of preference, 

• Whether you wish to be given 

remote access to the May 11 

Technology Hearing (if available).

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 51 / Thursday, March 15, 2012 / Proposed Rules 15329 

Note: Because the agenda will be organized 

based on subject matter, the Office cannot 

guarantee that it can accommodate requests 

to testify on particular dates (apart from the 

Technology Hearing). Depending on the 

number and nature of the requests to testify, 

it is possible that the Office will not be able 

to accommodate all requests to testify. All 

persons who submit a timely request to 

testify will receive confirmation by email or 

telephone. The Office will notify all 

witnesses of the date and expected time of 

their appearance, and the time allocated for 

their testimony. 

Addresses for requests to testify: 

Requests to testify must be submitted 

via the Office’s Web site form located at 

http://www.copyright.gov/1201/ and 

must be received by 5 p.m. E.D.T. on 

Monday, April 2, 2012. Persons who are 

unable to send requests via the Web site 

should contact Ben Golant, Assistant 

General Counsel, Office of the General 

Counsel at (202) 707–8380 to make 

alternative arrangements for submission 

of their requests to testify. 

Form and limits on testimony at 

public hearings: There will be time 

limits on the testimony allowed for 

persons testifying that will be 

established after receiving all requests to 

testify. In order to avoid duplicative and 

cumulative testimony and to ensure that 

all relevant issues and viewpoints are 

addressed, the Office encourages parties 

with similar interests to select common 

representatives to testify on behalf of a 

particular position. A timely request to 

testify does not guarantee an 

opportunity to testify at these hearings. 

The Office stresses that factual 

arguments are at least as important as 

legal arguments. The hearings provide 

an opportunity to explain and, in some 

cases, demonstrate the factual basis of 

an argument. The Office encourages 

persons who wish to testify to provide 

demonstrations of particular problems 

or solutions as supplements to 

testimony. While testimony from 

attorneys who can articulate legal 

arguments in support of or in opposition 

to a proposed exempted class of works 

is useful, testimony from witnesses who 

can explain and demonstrate pertinent 

facts is strongly encouraged by the 

Office. 

If audiovisual demonstrations or 

handouts will be used at any hearing, 

the Office requires submission of such 

materials to the Copyright Office 7 days 

prior to the hearing in order to make 

this information available to the other 

witnesses on the same panel. For the 

Technology Hearing, if a demonstration 

will consist of proprietary hardware or 

software, witnesses may need to provide 

representative handouts to be 

distributed to other witnesses prior to 

the hearing. Witnesses should assume 

that they will have to provide whatever 

electronic or audiovisual equipment is 

necessary for their presentations, 

although in particular cases the Office 

may be able to provide basic equipment 

(e.g., a personal computer and a large 

monitor) or software. Persons intending 

to bring such equipment into the Library 

of Congress, e.g., laptops, slide 

projectors, etc., are encouraged to give 

the Office advance notice and to arrive 

early in order to clear security screening 

by the Library police. 

The Office intends to organize 

individual sessions of the hearings 

around particular or related classes of 

works proposed for exemption. If a 

request to testify involves more than one 

proposed exemption or related 

exemption, please specify, in order of 

preference, the proposed exemptions on 

which you would prefer to testify. 

Following receipt of the requests to 

testify, the Office will prepare an agenda 

of the hearings which will be posted at: 

http://www.copyright.gov/1201/. The 

Office will also provide additional 

information on directions and parking 

for all persons testifying at the Los 

Angeles, CA round of hearings. To 

facilitate this process, it is essential that 

all of the required information listed 

above be included in a request to testify.
