[Docket No. RM 97-5B]


Copyright Restoration of Works in Accordance With the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act; Corrections Pertaining to Notices of Intent To 
Enforce Restored Copyrights

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Correction of errors made pertaining to the filing of Notices 
of Intent to Enforce Restored Copyrights.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice gives public notice that the Copyright Office is 
correcting certain errors in the filing and recordation of notices of 
intent to enforce restored copyrights under the Uruguay Round Agreement 
Act and issuing a policy decision permitting administrative correction 
of certain errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charlotte Douglass, Principal Legal 
Advisor to the General Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, 
Southwest Station, Washington, D.C. 20024. Telephone: (202) 707-8380. 
Telefax: (202) 707-8366.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1997, the Copyright Office adopted an 
interim regulation which permitted correction of errors in the filing 
of Notices of Intent to Enforce (NIEs) restored copyrights under 
certain conditions, pursuant to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. 62 FR 
55736 (1997). In accordance with that regulation, a Correction Notice 
has been filed to correct certain information appearing on the NIE for 
the first work listed below, originally recorded effective August 22, 
1997. The new information has been cataloged in Copyright Office 
records.
    In a separate case, the Office has administratively amended the 
record for a Group NIE to reflect 45 additional titles not originally 
included. The effective date will be that of the original Group NIE, 
April 17, 1998. The Office is making this amendment to reflect a policy 
determination regarding the regulation permitting a single Group NIE to 
cover multiple works at a discounted rate where ``all of the works are 
by the same author.'' 37 CFR 201.33 (1999). Previously the Copyright 
Office neither indexed nor listed titles from a Group NIE that did not 
have complete identity of authorship with other titles. For example, if 
a Group NIE listed titles 1and 2 by Author A and title 3 by Coauthors A 
and B, the Office required an additional NIE to be filed before 
publishing or indexing the nonconforming title.
    In response to an inquiry and reexamination of the matter, the 
Office has since determined that the regulation might reasonably have 
been interpreted to permit group filing where the works had at least 
one common author. The Office has, therefore, decided that when it 
becomes aware that it has refused to list titles from Group NIEs 
because the listed works did not contain total unity of authorship but 
had one or more common authors, the Copyright Office will amend the 
original NIE record to reflect the previously omitted titles and 
publish those titles in the Federal Register on the next scheduled 
four-month publication date. If any corrections are received, the next 
projected publication date is December 1, 2000.
