This announcement arrived in my inbox today and seems like something libraries should pay attention to. In the Federal Register notice, this caught my eye:
The consultations will address current and forthcoming technologies for identifying or protecting works online, including the technologies’ availability, their use-cases, and their limitations. (Under "Consultations")
Libraries employ technical measure for protecting works. Are libraries one of the industries that will be represented in these discussions? I hope so.

The U.S. Copyright Office has published a Federal Register notice announcing
a series of consultations on technical measures that identify or
protect copyrighted works. In a letter dated June 24, 2021, Senators
Patrick Leahy and Thom Tillis requested that the Copyright Office
“convene a representative working group of relevant stakeholders to
achieve the identification and implementation of technical measures.”
The consultations will address current and forthcoming technologies for
identifying or protecting works, including the technologies’
availability, their use-cases, and their limitations.
The
Office plans to hold a plenary session to launch these consultations on
February 22, 2022, to be followed by smaller industry-sector specific
consultations in 2022. Both the plenary and industry-sector based
sessions will be held virtually over Zoom.
For
additional information, including instructions for participating in the
consultations or submitting comments for the record, please visit the
Office website. A statement of interest to participate must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. eastern time on February 8, 2022.
