Title: Revised Inspection of Records Relating to Depiction of Sexually Explicit Performances
Abstract: In the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1998, Public Law No. 100--690, as amended by the Child Protection Restoration and Penalties Enhancement Act of 1990, Public Law No. 101--647, and the Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003, Public Law No. 108--21, Congress set forth requirements at section 2257, title 18, United States Code, concerning recordkeeping requirements for producers of sexually explicit material. Section 2257 of title 18, United States Code, specifies steps that must be taken by persons who produce materials depicting sexually explicit conduct to determine the names and dates of birth of persons depicted in those materials, lists records that must be kept by persons producing those materials, and requires that notices as to the location of those records be affixed to those materials. 28 CFR part 75 contains recordkeeping and inspection requirements implementing section 2257, title 18, United States Code. On May 24, 2005 (70 FR 29607), the Department published a final rule amending these requirements at 28 CFR part 75 to bring the regulations up to date and to make the inspection process effective for the purposes set by Congress in enacting section 2257. This rule amends the recordkeeping and inspection requirements of 28 CFR part 75 to account for changes in the underlying statute, 18 U.S.C. section 2257, made by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006.
