listings to include this information 

weekly. In the future, if all movies are 

distributed with these accessibility 

features, specific notice on a movie-bymovie basis may no longer be necessary 

and firms owning movie theaters may 

only need to advise the public that they 

provide closed captioning and audio 

description for all of their movies. 

6. An estimate of the total annual 

public burden (in hours) associated with 

the collection: The estimated public 

burden associated with this collection is 

16,460 hours. The Department estimates 

that respondents will take an average of 

10 minutes each week to update their 

existing listings of movie showings and 

times with the required information 

about closed captions and audio 

description. If each respondent spends 

10 minutes each week to update its 

notices of moving showings and times 

to include this information, the average 

movie theater firm will spend 8.7 hours 

annually ((10 minutes/week × 52 weeks/ 

year) ÷ 60 minutes/hour) complying 

with this requirement. The Department 

expects that the annual public burden 

hours for disclosing this information 

will total (1,892 respondents × 8.7 

hours/year) 16,460 hours.

BILLING CODE 4410–13–P 

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION 

Issuance of Updated Financial Guide 

for Grantees 

AGENCY: Legal Services Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance of final 

Financial Guide. 

SUMMARY: The Legal Services 

Corporation (LSC) updated its Financial 

Guide (‘‘Guide’’) for grantees. 

DATES: The guide will become effective 

January 1, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stuart Axenfeld, Deputy Director for 

Fiscal Compliance, Legal Services 

Corporation, 3333 K St. NW, 

Washington, DC 20007; (202) 295–1539; 

axenfelds@lsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2018, 

LSC conducted a comprehensive review 

of the Accounting Guide for LSC 

Recipients, 2010 Edition. Based on 

input from LSC grantees and LSC’s 

fiscal compliance analysts, LSC 

determined the format of the 

Accounting Guide no longer best serves 

grantees or LSC. The new Financial 

Guide removes outdated or inapplicable 

materials, improves guidance directly 

related to LSC-specific issues, and adds 

clarity about both required and 

recommended financial practices. The 

new Financial Guide also addresses 

areas that were previously identified as 

problematic or complex, such as cost 

allocation, and assists grantees in the 

financial management of LSC grants. 

LSC removed sections that provided 

general accounting and financial 

guidance because neither LSC nor 

grantees found these sections useful. 

Overall, the new Financial Guide 

reflects existing LSC and grantee 

practices and requirements. 

Additionally, in some places, the new 

Financial Guide sets out requirements 

that previously had not been published 

for comment. These are requirements 

that LSC has been applying through 

required corrective actions and most, 

perhaps all, grantees have already 

implemented. 

LSC originally sought comment on the 

comprehensive revisions to the 

Financial Guide via a notice published 

in the Federal Register on July 7, 2020. 

85 FR 40688. LSC received 38 unique 

comments on the draft Financial Guide 

from five grantees and the National 

Legal Aid and Defender Association 

(NLADA) on behalf of itself and its LSC 

grantee members. Generally, the 

commenters suggested clarifications and 

requested that LSC make many of the 

proposed requirements into 

recommendations to accommodate the 

diversity of grantee sizes, fiscal 

sophistication, and resources. 

On December 15, 2021, LSC sought 

additional comments on discrete 

changes to the Financial Guide. 86 FR 

71288, Dec. 15, 2021. LSC later 

extended the comment period to 

February 15, 2022. 87 FR 2638, Jan. 18, 

2022. LSC received six unique 

comments from one grantee, NLADA, 

and Management Information Exchange. 

LSC will publish the Financial Guide 

on LSC’s website at https://www.lsc.gov/ 

lsc-financial-guide. The Financial Guide 

will become effective on January 1, 

2023. LSC will announce training 

opportunities at a later date. 

LSC’s Response to Comments 

LSC considered all comments and 

made the changes described below in 

response. The Financial Guide adds 

clear definitions that ‘‘must’’ and 

‘‘shall’’ state requirements, but ‘‘should’’ 

states a strong recommendation. For all 

required items, grantees may opt to use 

different methods of reaching the goal, 

subject to LSC’s determination that the 

alternatives are sufficient. 

Revised sections include: 

Section 1.3—Recipient Responsibility 

This new section contains general 

statements moved from other sections 

that grantees must keep their financial 

policies and procedures up to date with 

accounting standards and changes to 

LSC requirements (such as regulations, 

the Audit Guide, etc.). 

This section also reinforces the 

requirement for grantee Board approval 

of grantee written policies, which many 

recipient organizations already practice. 

Additionally, LSC revised the Financial 

Guide to clarify that both grantee 

policies and procedures should be 

written. 

Section 2.2.2—Time and Attendance 

(Payroll) 

LSC revised the language related to 

the timing of payroll or the execution of 

payroll to focus on the review of time 

and attendance records to ensure they 

are authorized, complete, and accurate. 

Also, LSC clarified that grantees may 

develop an alternative report to 

maintain the components of a labor cost 

distribution report. 

Section 2.5.3—Electronic Data 

Processing and Cybersecurity 

LSC considered the increasing level of 

electronic threats and the significant 

risk those threats pose to the financial 

security of grantees. LSC is requiring 

grantees to gauge the risk to their 

organizations. Risk assessment 

procedures will vary by grantee. 

However, at a minimum, the process 

should: 

• Identify the physical and digital 

assets susceptible to cyberattacks; 

• identify risks to those assets (risks 

should be evaluated annually for 

changes); 

• evaluate the risks (e.g., high, 

medium, or low) based on likelihood 

and impact; and 

• document the results of the risk 

assessment, including the development 

and implementation of appropriate 

controls. 

Section 3.5—Procurement and 

Contracting 

LSC added suggestions on how 

recipients should customize their policy 

requirements based on levels of risks. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 2996(g)(e).

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 

Copyright Office 

[Docket No. 2022–3] 

Best Edition Study: Notice and 

Request for Public Comment 

AGENCY: U.S. Copyright Office, Library 

of Congress. 

ACTION: Notice of inquiry. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Copyright Office is 

undertaking a public study at the 

request of Senator Thom Tillis to 

evaluate the deposit requirements of 

section 407 and 408 of the Copyright 

Act and consider whether ‘‘removing 

the ‘best edition’ requirement from the 

registration deposit process in section 

408 could help improve the registration 

process.’’ To aid in its review of this 

topic, the Office is soliciting input from 

interested members of the public. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received no later than 11:59 p.m. 

Eastern Time on July 18, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: For reasons of government 

efficiency, the Copyright Office is using 

the regulations.gov system for the 

submission and posting of public 

comments in this proceeding. All 

comments are therefore to be submitted 

electronically through regulations.gov. 

Specific instructions for submitting 

comments are available on the 

Copyright Office website at https://

www.copyright.gov/policy/best-edition. 

If electronic submission of comments is 

not feasible due to lack of access to a 

computer and/or the internet, please 

contact the Office using the contact 

information below for special 

instructions. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Megan Efthimiadis, Assistant to the 

General Counsel, by email at meft@

copyright.gov or telephone at (202) 707– 

8350. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

24, 2021, Senator Thom Tillis sent a 

letter seeking the Copyright Office’s 

‘‘expertise and guidance regarding 

adjusted copyright examination and 

registration requirements.’’ 1

Specifically, Senator Tillis requested 

that the Office complete ‘‘a study 

regarding the feasibility of decoupling 

the deposit requirements of Section 407 

of Title 17 from Section 408.’’ 2 The 

letter states that ‘‘[s]ome have asserted 

that’’ decoupling ‘‘could help improve 

the registration process by permitting 

low resolution digital deposits, for 

example.’’ 3 In conducting the study, 

Senator Tillis asked the Office to 

consult with the Library of Congress to 

address the Library’s need to grow its 

collections, as well as to consider the 

Office’s own needs as part of the 

registration process.4

To guide its consideration of these 

issues, the Office is soliciting public 

comments on topics related to this 

inquiry. These comments will be used 

to inform the Office’s discussions with 

the Library and its consideration of the 

Office’s needs with respect to deposits 

for registration purposes.
