                                 H.R.   1695
     Register  of Copyrights  Selection and  Accountability  Act of 2017

   As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on March 29, 2017


Under current law, the Director of the Copyright Office is appointed by the Librarian of
Congress. H.R. 1695 would make that position subject to appointment by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Director would serve a 10 year term, subject
to removal by the President. Under the bill, the President would make the appointment
from a list of individuals recommended by a panel composed of members of Congress and
the Librarian of Congress. Based on information from the Library of Congress, CBO
estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant effect on the federal budget.

Enacting H.R. 1695 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1695 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1695 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Stephen Rabent. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
