A brief scan of the PDF says that they recommend a safe harbor for orphan works (i.e. limited liability if you show that you made a legit effort to find the copyright holder) and some sort of collective licensing for mass digitization, kind of like the current music licensing.
I don't think that there will be a huge effort against either suggestion. Neither Hollywood nor Disney is likely to oppose it. And given that both the President and most entertainment industry execs are Democrats, if it is blocked by the trade treaty that the Obama administration is negotiating, I don't think we can pin this on the Republicans.
