**§ 183.3 Definitions.**

These terms and definitions are for the purpose of this part only.

Civil authorities. Defined in Joint Publication 1–02 ( see http://
www.dtic.mil/doctrine/
dod

_ dictionary/ ). Integrated Federal Support Overview (IFSO). A collaborative effort of the Special Events Working Group. The purpose of the Integrated Federal Support Overview is to inform the Secretary of Homeland Security and other appropriate senior Federal officials, including the Federal coordinator for the special event, of all the Federal activities and support in preparation for and execution of a special event. The IFSO facilitates the Federal coordinator’s ability to lead a unified coordination group initially in case of an incident to support the Secretary of Homeland Security’s incident management responsibilities. It also educates Federal interagency partners on Federal resources committed to the special event.

National special security event (NSSE). By definition, an NSSE is an Incident of National Significance as defined by the National Response Plan. These national or international events,
occurrences, contests, activities, or meetings, which, by virtue of their profile or status, represent a significant target for deliberate attack; or, they can
be the result of natural disasters or other emergency conditions, and therefore warrant additional preparation, planning, and mitigation efforts. The U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) serve as the Federal agencies with lead responsibilities for NSSEs; other Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, may provide support to the NSSE if authorized by
law.

NSSE Executive Steering Committee. This group is established when the Secretary, DHS designates a specific event to be a NSSE. The group, led by the USSS, is comprised of Federal, state and local public safety and security officials, whose primary responsibility is to coordinate and develop a specific security plan for the designated NSSE. Qualifying entity. A nonGovernmental organization to which the Department of Defense may provide assistance by virtue of statute, regulation, policy, or other approval by the Secretary of Defense or his or her authorized designee.

Special event. An international or domestic event, contest, activity, or meeting, which by its very nature, or by specific statutory or regulatory authority, may warrant security, safety, and/or other logistical support or assistance from the Department of
Defense. Event status is not determined by DoD and support may be requested by either civil authorities or non governmental entities. Support provided may be reimbursable.

Special event working group. A single forum designed to ensure comprehensive and coordinated Federal interagency awareness of, and appropriate support to, special events.The Special Event Working Group is cochaired by representatives from the Department of Homeland Secuirty (DHS) (including the USSS and FEMA) and the FBI, and comprises representatives from over 40 Federal departments and agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Energy, Labor, Health & Human Services, and
Commerce and from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Department of Defense representative on the Special Event Working Group is designated by the Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas’ Security Affairs (ASD(HD&ASA)). The Special Event Working Group develops the Special Events Awareness Report on an annual
basis.

**§ 183.4 Policy.**

It is DoD policy that: (a) Support to special events is a
subset of DSCA.

(b) DoD capabilities may be used to provide support for international and domestic special events as authorized by law or DoD policy. DoD resources in support of special events may be provided only after the resources of allother relevant governmental and nongovernmental entities are determined not to be available, unless there is a statutory exception or DoD is the only source of specialized capabilities. DoD support should not be provided if use of commercial enterprises would be more appropriate.

(c) The Department may support such events with personnel, equipment, and services in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and interagency


### 72768 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2010 / Proposed Rules

agreements. Most support shall be provided on a non-interference basis with careful consideration given to
effects on readiness and current operations.

(e) Funding for special events is subject to the following:

(1) DoD may receive separate funding or authority to provide support to specific special events.

(2) Support to special events for which the Department of Defense does not receive appropriations or for which
DoD funds are not available for such support must be approved by the Secretary of Defense and must be provided on a reimbursable basis in accordance with title 10 U.S.C. 372–374; title 10 U.S.C. 377; title 10 U.S.C. 2012; title 10 U.S.C. 2553–2555; title 10 U.S.C. 2564; or title 31 U.S.C. 1535–1536, or other applicable statutes.

(3) Reimbursement for DoD support provided to civilian law enforcement agencies during special events is required, in accordance with title 10 U.S.C. 377, unless the Secretary of
Defense elects to waive reimbursement after determining that the support:

(i) Is provided in the normal course of military training or operations, or

(ii) Results in a benefit to the personnel providing the support that is substantially equivalent to that which
would otherwise be obtained from military operations or training.

(4) Security and safety of special events are responsibilities shared by Federal, State, and local authorities. If Federal funds will be provided to State
or local authorities to offset the costs of enhanced security and public safety for special events and if State or local officials request the employment of National Guard personnel in a Federal pay status, States shall be encouraged to use those funds to employ those National Guard personnel in a State pay status or to reimburse the Department of
Defense for costs related to the employment of the National Guard personnel in a Federal pay status.

(f) DoD Components shall provide support to civil authorities or qualifying entities for special events only as authorized in this part. This does not apply to installation commanders or heads of DoD Components providing localized support to a special event under the auspices of community relations, public outreach, or recruitment efforts pursuant to DoD Directive 5410.18 (see http:// www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/ 541018p.pdf ) and DoD Instruction 5410.19 (see http://www.dtic.mil/whs/ directives/corres/pdf/541019p.pdf ) or other similar authority.

**37 CFR Part 201**

**[Docket No. RM 2010–5]**

**Gap in Termination Provisions**

**AGENCY :**  Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking; request for comments.

**SUMMARY :**  The Copyright Office is proposing to amend its regulations governing notices of termination of certain grants of transfers and licenses of copyright under section 203 of the Copyright Act of 1976. The amendments are intended to clarify the recordation practices of the Copyright Office regarding the content of section 203
notices of termination and the
timeliness of their service and recordation, including a clarification that the Office will accept for
recordation under section 203 a notice of termination of a grant agreed to before January 1, 1978 as long as the work that is the subject of the grant was not
created before 1978. Whether such
notices of termination fall within the scope of section 203 will ultimately be a matter to be resolved by the courts.

**DATES :**  Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Requests for
Comments are due on or before December 27, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  The Copyright Office strongly prefers that comments be submitted electronically. A comment page containing a comment form is posted on the Copyright Office Web site
