That's what I get for reading summaries. It looks like you are right.  
This is effective immediately and runs for only three years (extending
a previous rule).

This is a rulemaking decision, essentially modifying this:
http://www.washingtonwatchdog.org/documents/cfr/title37/part201.html
to interpret the US code section 1201:
(http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode17/usc_sec_17_00001201----000-.html)

Worth reading, by the way -- both the rulemaking and its logic, and the 
original copyright law.
