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

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is extending the period to submit public

DATE:  Reply comments are due October 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be submitted electronically using the 
comment submission page on the Office Web site at http://copyright.gov/policy/visualworks/. To meet accessibility standards, submitters must 
upload comments in a single file not to exceed six (6) megabytes (MB) 
in one of the following formats: The Adobe Portable Document File (PDF)

Microsoft Word; WordPerfect; Rich Text Format (RTF); or ASCII text file

include the submitter's name and organization (if any). The Office will 
post all comments publicly on the Office's Web site exactly as they are
