Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 117 / Tuesday, June 22, 2021 / Rules and Regulations renaming the Licensing Division LD
the Licensing Section LS.
Copyright Claims Board. Second, the reorganization creates a reporting structure for the Copyright Claims Board CCB established by the CASE Act.
The CCB is a voluntary, alternative forum to federal court to seek resolution of copyright disputes that have a low economic value.3 The CCB has the authority to hear copyright infringement claims, claims seeking a declaration of noninfringement, and misrepresentation claims under section 512f of title 17, as amended by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.4 The CCB will be headed by three Copyright Claims Officers who ensure that claims, counterclaims, and defenses are properly asserted, manage CCB proceedings and issue rulings, request production of information and relevant documents, conduct hearings and conferences, facilitate settlements, maintain records, provide public information, and ultimately render determinations and award monetary relief.5 The CCB will report to the Copyright Offices General Counsel.
This rule is a technical change that constitutes a change to a rule of agency organization 6 which does not alter the rights or interests of parties, but merely alters the manner in which the parties present themselves or their viewpoints to the agency. 7
Accordingly, the Office is publishing it as final without first issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking.
