SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Copyright Office periodically reviews and reports the systems of records it maintains, as directed by terms of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), title 5 of the United States Code. See 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4). The APA applies to certain Copyright Office activities [[Page 51610]] described in title 17, United States Code, section 701(d). The Office last published its systems of records August 16, 1993. This publication of the Copyright Office systems of records reflects changes in the records maintained in the Office in light of: (1) Its new functions and duties under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, Pub. L. 103-465, 108 Stat. 4809, 4976 (1994); (2) its new functions and duties under the Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act, Pub. L. 103-198, 107 Stat. 2304 (1993) and (3) deletions or additions to existing file systems. The Uruguay Round Agreements Act added a new section 104A to the Copyright Act of 1976 establishing a procedure for restoration of copyright in certain works that had fallen into the public domain in the United States. Filings of notices of intent to restore copyrights in such works are received by the Office and recorded as records maintained here for reference. The Office is identifying as a new file CO-27 ``Notices of Intent to Enforce Copyrights Restored Under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. The Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act created a new system of Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels to administer copyright compulsory licensing provisions in sections 111, 114, 115, 118, 119, and Chapter 10. Files containing related information and documentation can be found in CO-11- CO-23. The Office is making available as separate file systems: CO-9 ``Freedom of Information Act Annual Reports,'' CO-24 ``Licensing Division File of Specialty Station Claimants,'' and CO-28 ``Requests for Copyright Office Litigation Statements.'' It is also deleting several files that it no longer maintains; these files were formerly titled ``Master Index Card Files,'' ``Office Mailing List Files,'' `` Secondary Transmission by Cable Systems: Initial Notice of Identity and Changes Files,'' and ``Jukebox License Application.''
