Act of 2020.1 The Register has determined that these changes will optimize business processes and aid in the administration of her functions and duties as Director of the Copyright Office.2
Operational reorganization. The reorganization reduces the number of direct reports to the Register of Copyrights and is expected to create administrative and cost efficiencies by consolidating operational organizations currently headed by senior-level positions. The reorganization brings the Office of the Chief Financial Officer renamed the Financial Management Division and the Copyright Modernization Office renamed the Product Management Division under the supervision of the Chief of Operations renamed the Assistant Register and Director of Operations ARDO. Realigning these divisions under the ARDO consolidates operational support elements under one senior manager, in line with operational structures across the Library of Congress. This consolidation is expected to facilitate Office coordination with centralized Library services, and with similar functional elements of other service units. It is also expected to allow the Office to increase the effectiveness of communications across areas of operational responsibility, in alignment with strategic objectives.
The reorganization renames certain organizational elements and senior positions for purposes of greater clarity and consistency. The Office of Public Records and Repositories is renamed the Office of Copyright Records. As noted above, the Office of the Chief of Operations is renamed the Office of the Director of Operations. The following subordinate offices are also renamed:
The Copyright Acquisitions Division CAD is renamed Acquisitions and Deposits A&D; the Administrative Services Office ASO is renamed the Administrative Services Division ASD; and the Receipt Analysis and Control Division RAC is renamed the Materials Control and Analysis Division MCA. The Copyright Modernization Office CMO is renamed the Product Management Division PMD.
Further, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer CFO is renamed the Financial Management Division FMD and work units under this division are also renamed, including by 1 Public Law 116260, sec. 212, 134 Stat. 1182, 2176 2020.
