Is the Copyright Office accepting public comments on this yet, and if so, is there a link to submit comments to them yet?

An excerpt from the page:

In the first round of comments, which are due December 18, 2017, the Office seeks legal and evidentiary submissions from parties who support the adoption of a proposed exemption, as well as parties that neither support nor oppose an exemption but seek to share pertinent information about a proposal.
