Here is a copy/paste of one of the many articles in today's FSC Weekly "X-Press" newsletter which FSC members can sign up to receive. Note the 2d and the very last paragraph?
I saw much of this same article, and Diane Duke's comment, someplace 2-3 days ago on one of the news/etc sites (maybe XBIZ, or AVN, or ********, or? --it's hell to be as old and forgetful as I am!).

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE RELEASES FINAL U.S.C. 18 2257 REGULATIONS
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice, on Wednesday, made public final amendments to U.S.C. 18 2257 and 2257A record-keeping regulations affecting adult content producers. The changes will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow and become effective in 90 days. A PDF document of the revisions is available through this link:

"FSC fully intends to continue with our challenge to 18 USC 2257," FSC Executive Director Diane Duke said. "We are in the process of reviewing the document and will send an analysis of the regulations to our members within the next couple of days."
Attorney and FSC Board President Jeffery Douglas commented on the new revisions, and said, "The last-minute release of the long-anticipated regulations in support of the Adam Walsh amendments to 18 U.S.C. 2257 should surprise no one. They appear to be vulnerable to both constitutional and procedural challenges.
"In order to justify missing a previous deadline, the Administration characterizes these regulations as 'lesser regulations,' despite the expansion to include hundreds of thousands of small businesses not covered by the prior regulations. This distortion, as well as the complete failure to comply with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, provides new grounds to fight this attack on the adult industry, in addition to the strong constitutional arguments we have raised in the past."
"The Free Speech Coalition will study the 169 page release carefully, in order to prepare for any litigation necessary to protect your First Amendment and Privacy rights which these regulations ignore," he added."
