CO Pilots Extended Phone Business Hours

The Copyright Office’s Public Information Office extended phone business hours on a trial basis through Dec. 31 “to assess the effect of extended hours on stakeholders outside” the Eastern time zone, the office said Monday. CO staff will field phone inquiries 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, but the CO’s in-person office hours will remain the same throughout the pilot period. The CO still will be closed on Christmas Day. The CO said it will “determine whether to adjust its business hours on a long-term basis” after the pilot experiment ends.
