The Copyright Office periodically reviews its regulations as published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to correct minor errors in the published text and to make technical amendments. This final rule corrects minor errors identified in the published rules but also makes technical amendments required because of new office designations and other non-substantial changes resulting from the business process reengineering initiative that was implemented by the Office in July 2007. The following parts are amended to make these corrections: parts 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, and 211.
