[Docket No. 2005–1]
Registration of Claims to Copyright:
New Format for Certain Copyright
Registration Certificates
Copyright Office, Library of
Congress.
ACTION: Policy decision, correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Copyright Office
announces a modification to a policy
decision announced January 21, 2005,
concerning changing the format of
certain copyright registration
certificates. The modification clarifies
how the Office will select applications
for registration to be included in a pilot
program in which certificates of
registration will be generated from
registration data scanned from the
applications and stored in an electronic
information system.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff
Cole, Acting Reengineering Program
Manager, or Kent Dunlap, Principal
Legal Advisor to the General Counsel.
Telephone: (202) 707–8350. Telefax:
(202) 707–8366.
Correction
The Copyright Office recently
announced that it is changing the format
of certain copyright registration
certificates issued for motion pictures
and other audiovisual works registered
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
9111
in class PA, as part of a pilot project.
Unlike traditional certificates of
registration, the certificates issued as
part of the pilot project will not be
facsimiles of the applications for
registration, but will be electronically
generated from data entered from the
applications. See 70 FR 3231 (January
21, 2005).
In that announcement, the Office
included a discussion of the ‘‘Transition
Period’’ as follows:
4. Transition Period
Certificates in the new format will be
produced only for applications included in
the pilot project and initially received in the
Copyright Office on or after the start date,
February 14, 2005. For applications for
motion pictures and other class PA
audiovisual works already in process in the
Copyright Office on that date, including
those for which correspondence is pending,
certificates will continue to be issued in the
current format, even after the pilot begins.
However, in order to implement the
pilot project, the Office has modified its
policy with respect to which
applications will be included in the
project. The Office’s policy is as follows:
4. Transition Period
Certificates in the new format will be
produced only for applications included in
the pilot project, and processing in the pilot
will be gradually phased–in to cover more
and more applications for motion pictures
and other class PA audiovisual works. While
the start date for the pilot is February 14,
2005, some applications will be included in
the pilot which were received before that
date. Also, some applications received on or
after the start date will be processed under
the old procedures, and will be issued
certificates which are a copy of the
application.
Dated: February 17, 2005.

General Counsel.
