practice will only affect deposit account
holders who use paper applications,
because eService will not allow an
application to be submitted without
sufficient funds.
However, a deposit account holder
whose account is closed because it has
been overdrawn twice is not foreclosed
from using a deposit account in the
future. The deposit account holder may
re-open the closed account on the
condition that it is funded through the
automatic replenishment option. This
requirement is to protect the account
holder from the risk of overdrawing
again and to protect the Copyright
Office from the expense of handling
suspended applications in the future.

3. Voluntary Automatic Replenishment
The Copyright Office will offer a
voluntary automatic replenishment
program to all deposit account holders.
Under this program, the deposit account
holder may provide pre-authorization to
the Copyright Office to replenish the
account from the account holder’s credit
card or bank account. Replenishment
will take place when the deposit
account goes below its minimum
balance, at which time the Office will
immediately notify the account holder
that the account has fallen below the
minimal balance and that the account
will be replenished in accordance with
the automatic replenishment agreement.
The account holder will determine the
amount of replenishment at the time the
account holder enters the program.
Comments Received in Response to
Question Regarding the Continued
Availability of Deposit Accounts
In its July 15th, 2009 NPRM, the
Copyright Office sought public
comment on whether it should cease
offering deposit accounts altogether. It
noted that, in an era when paper
applications and payment via check
were the norm, a separate, simplified
deposit account system presented
attractive efficiencies to frequent
applicants and to the Office. It also
pointed out that in an era of electronic
registration and payment via corporate
or other credit cards, the administrative
costs of maintaining a separate deposit
account system are no longer clearly
offset by its advantages; hence, the
reason for the Office’s inquiry
concerning abolition of the deposit
account system.
Three of the four commenters who
addressed this question argued that
eliminating deposit accounts would be
harmful. Thus, the Copyright Office
acknowledged in its October 8, 2010
notice that deposit accounts remain a
useful and efficient option for copyright

owners who frequently use its services,
including, but not limited to,
registration, and announced that it will
continue to offer deposit accounts for
the foreseeable future, reserving its
prerogative to revisit the question of
their utility and cost to the Office at a
later time.
At this time, the Office also notes that
the change in policy for administering
Deposit Accounts will increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of the
system for the Office and eliminate most
of the problems that generated the
initial questions. Hence, in light of the
comments from the rights-holders and
the new amendments announced today,
the Office will continue to offer Deposit
Accounts.

holder. Automatic replenishment will
be triggered when the Deposit Account
goes below the minimum level of
funding established pursuant to
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, and
Deposit Account holders will be
automatically notified that their
accounts will be replenished. Funding
through automatic replenishment is
required if a Deposit Account holder,
who has had an account closed because
it has been overdrawn twice within any
12 month period, wishes to re-open the
account.

Definitions and Requirements for Items
Sent to the CTUS
As defined in 19 CFR 101.1 and

of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
U.S. territories, possessions, and

608.2.4 are considered ‘‘domestic’’
insofar as United States mail is sent to,
from, or between these destinations;
nonetheless, these destinations are
outside the CTUS. As such, and
consistent with 19 CFR 145.11, a clear
and complete customs declaration label
that describes the contents and value for
the enclosed merchandise (that is,
goods, or contents other than
documents) must be secured to the
mailpiece for each shipment when sent
from a foreign post office. For the
purpose of these new standards, ‘‘foreign
post offices’’ include those in the
following locations:
• American Samoa
• Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands
• Federated States of Micronesia
• Guam
• Palau
• Republic of the Marshall Islands
• U.S. Virgin Islands

ACTION: Final rule.

This final rule describes the

under Title XXI of the Social Security
Act (the Act), for the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP), as amended
by the Children’s Health Insurance
Program Reauthorization Act of 2009

and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007
(MMSEA), by other related CHIP
legislation, and most recently by the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act of 2010 (the Affordable Care Act).
Specifically, this final rule addresses
methodologies and procedures for
determining States’ fiscal years 2009
through 2015 allotments and payments
in accordance with sections 2104 and
2105 of the Act, as amended by CHIPRA
and the Affordable Care Act.

specified Commonwealths and
Territories to initiate and expand health
insurance coverage to uninsured, lowincome children. The 50 States, the
District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealths and Territories may
implement the CHIP through a separate
child health program under title XXI of
the Act, an expanded Medicaid program
under title XIX of the Act, or a
combination of both.
Federal funds appropriated for title
XXI are limited, and the law specifies a
formula and methodology to divide the
total annual appropriation into
individual allotments available for each
State, the District of Columbia, and each
U.S. Territory and Commonwealth with
an approved child health plan.
B. Funding of CHIP Allotments Before
the Enactment of CHIPRA
Section 4901 of the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–33, enacted on
August 5, 1997) (BBA), which added
Title XXI to the Social Security Act,
appropriated funding for States’ CHIPs
for each fiscal year over a 10 fiscal year
(FY) period from 1998 through 2007.
The funding for each FY varied from
$4.295 billion for FY 1998 up to $5.0
billion for FY 2007. Under section
2104(c)(4) of the Act, additional
appropriations were provided for each
of FYs 1999 through 2007 to provide
additional allotment amounts
particularly for the Commonwealths and
Territories.
Public Law 110–92 (enacted on
September 29, 2007), contained
provisions to extend funding under the
CHIP through November 16, 2007. In
particular, section 136(a) of Public Law
110–92 appropriated $5 billion for the
purposes of providing FY 2008
allotments to the 50 States, the District
of Columbia, and the Commonwealths
and Territories. In addition, $40 million
was appropriated by this section to
provide additional allotments to the
Commonwealths and Territories in FY
2008.

As defined in 19 CFR 101.1 and General Note 2 of the Harmonized

following locations:
American Samoa
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
Federated States of Micronesia
Guam
Palau
Republic of the Marshall Islands
U.S. Virgin Islands
These revisions ensure compliance with regulations of U.S. Customs

Updated Standards for Items Weighing 16 Ounces or More
Current DMM standards require a customs declaration label for
Priority Mail[supreg] items weighing 16 ounces or more when sent from
the United States to American Samoa, Guam, Palau, the Federated States
of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and
