DEPOSIT FOR REGISTRATION
Statutory provisions. At any time during the sub­sistence of copyright in any published or unpub­lished work, the owner of copyright or of any exclusive right in the work may apply for regis­tration of the copyright claim by delivering to the Copyright Office the application and fee specified by sections 409 and 708 of the copyright law (see Chapter 700: APPLICATIONS AND FEES), along with the deposit specified in section 408 of the copyright law and explained in this chapter. See 17 U.S.C. 408(a). Except as modified by the Copyright Office Regulations adopted pursuant to the provisions of 17 U.S.C. 408(c), the deposit for registration shall consist of:
NOTE: The Register of Copyrights is authorized by the law to specify by regulation the administrative classes into which works are to be placed for pur­poses of deposit and registration and the nature of the copies or phonorecords to be deposited in the various classes specified. The regulations may require or permit the deposit of identifying material instead of copies or phonorecords, the deposit of only one copy or phonorecord where two would normally be required, or a single registration and an atten­dant deposit for a group of related works. See 17 U.S.C. 408(c)(1). The Register is directed by the law to establish regulations specifically permitting, under certain conditions, a single registration for
Generally, the requirement that an unpublished copy or phonorecord be "complete" means that ​it must embody the entire copyrightable content of the work for which registration is sought. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(b)(2)(i). For unpublished motion pictures, the deposit regulations give the term "complete ll a special meaning as set forth in section 806.l3(a) below.
Identifying material. If the following are unpublished, identifying material mayor must be submitted:
Additional material. The following are unpublished works for which the deposit of a single copy must be accompanied by addi­tional material of some kind:
particular types of works. See 17 U.S.C. 408(c)(1). The deposit regulations (37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(i) state that the deposit of only one copy or phonorecord will suffice in lieu of two copies or phonorecords for certain works:
Complete copies: missing parts. Where certain physically separable elements are missing from the deposit, a copy or phono­record will still be accepted as a complete copy, if:
Published sound recordings. In the case of a published sound recording, a com­plete phonorecord includes the phonorecord and any visually perceptible material which is published with it, such as text or pictorial matter on album covers on record sleeves, or leaflets or booklets included in an album. See 37 C.F.R.202.20(b)(2)(iv).
Example:
* the reproduction of all of the visual and aural elements constituting the copyrightable subject matter in the work is clean, undamaged, undeteriorated, and free of splices, and the copy itself and its physical housing are free of any defects that would interfere with the performance of the work or that would cause me­chanical, visual, or audible defects or distortions. See section 806.13 below.
* the copy itself and its physical housing are free of any defects that would interfere with the performance of the work or that would cause mechanical, visual, or audible defects or distortions. See section 806.13 below.
Examples:
If no specific criteria in Best Edition Statement. Where no specific criteria for selection of the best edition are included in the Best Edition Statement for a given work, and where the Copyright Office is aware that two or more editions of a work have been published, the Office will consult with appro­priate officials in the Library of Congress.
Example:
Difference in copyrightable content. Where there is a difference in copyrightable con­tent between two or more editions of a work, each edition which contains new copyrightable authorship is subject to separate deposit and registration. Consequently, the Best Edition statement, based on such differences, does not apply.
Example:
Works first published simultaneously within and outside the United States. If a work was first published simultaneously within and outside the United States, it is considered, for the purposes of this section, to have been first published in the United States. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(1)(iv).
NOTE: "First published simultaneously," for this purpose, means first published on the same date.
NOTE: The following are exceptions to the general requirements of submitting identi­fying material instead of an actual copy or copies:

Secure tests: what must be deposited. One complete copy of the test must be deposited with identifying material which constitutes a sufficient archival record of the deposit. The sufficiency of the identifying material is determined by the Copyright Office Exam­
Secure tests: special procedure. When a secure test is to be registered under this special procedure, the Head of the Literary Section, Examining Division, must be notified in advance by the applicant or authorized representative. The Section Head will then arrange for examination of the material in a nonpublic place with the applicant or autho­rized representative present. The receipt date will be stamped on the appropriate material by the examiner receiving the claim. After examination, the actual copies of the test will be returned to the applicant or

Such piece shall show the exact appearance and content of the notice, and its specific position on the work. Where necessary because of the size or position of the notice, a separate drawing or similar reproduction shall be submitted.
* Title and dimensions. At least one piece of identifying material must indicate, on its front, back, or mount, the title of the work, and an exact measurement of one or more dimensions of the work.
* Image size. Generally, except in the case of photographic transparencies, the image of the work must be lifesize or larger. However, if less than lifesize, the image must be large enough to show clearly the entire copyrightable content of the work.
* Color. The identifying material must reproduce the actual colors employed in the work.

NOTE: In certain cases where the two-dimen­sional pictorial and graphic material is embodied in an article of wearing apparel or the like, the Copyright Office will accept as a deposit the actual garment, provided that its seams have been split and the deposit includes all the panels utilized in the con­struction of the garment.
See 37 C.F.R.202.21(f).
Published and unpublished computer pro­grams. For both published and unpub­lished computer programs, either one paper or one microform copy of the first and last 25 pages, or equivalent units ​of the program, must be deposited. In cases where the work is under 50 pages or equivalent units in total length, the entire work should be deposited. If the work is published with a copyright notice, the applicant must also submit the page or equivalent unit which con­tains the copyright notice. The source code rather than the object code is the best representation of the authorship, and therefore should generally be depos­ited. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(vii)(A).
Published and unpublished automated data bases. Generally, the deposit for pub­lished and unpublished automated data bases is a paper or microform copy of the first and last 25 pages of the work. The deposit for automated data bases which are made up of separate and distinct data files, however, is either 50 complete data records from each file, or the entire file, whichever is less. "Data file" and "file" mean a group of data records pertaining to a common subject matter, regardless of the physical size of the records or the number of data
Unpublished motion pictures. The applicant may, for registration, deposit one complete copy or identifying material.
Separately registrable works of author­ship fixed in film, videotape, or the like. A film, videotape, or the like can constitute the form of embodiment in which a copyrightable work other than a motion picture is fixed. Generally, in such cases the deposit requirements for the particular work of authorship being registered govern the form of the deposit, rather than the deposit requirements for motion pictures. Examples include the following:
NOTE: For deposit requirements in the case of an unpublished work that is fixed or a published work that is published only as embodied in a soundtrack that is an integral part of a motion picture, see section 806.11 above.
Motion Picture Agreement. The Library of Congress may, at its sole discretion, enter into an agreement permitting the return of copies of published motion pictures to the depositor under certain conditions and establishing certain rights and obligations with respect to such copies on the part of both the depositor and the Library of Congress. The Deposits and Acquisitions Section of the Acquisitions and processing Division of the Copyright Office administers the Motion Picture Agreement. See 37 C.F.R. 202.20(c)(2)(ii).
Who may enter into the Agreement. The Agreement is available upon request to owners of copyright in published motion pictures or owners of the exclusive right of publication (including the exclusive right of distribution in the United States) who are depositing a copy of the motion picture in the Copyright Office and to foreign depositors whose works, although initially pub­lished outside the United States, have been pub­lished in the United States before the date of deposit. NOTE: Foreign depositors whose motion pictures are published only outside the United States before the date of deposit may enter into the Motion Picture Agreement by executing the basic Agreement, together with a Standard Modi­fication of the Agreement, provided that the depositor has an established business office in the United States, or has designated a United
In certain cases, the Standard Modification must be completed; see NOTE in section 807.01 above. Also, in certain cases, a bond signed by the attorney-in-fact for the depositor, which subjects such attorney-in-fact to certain liability under the Agreement, is required in addition to the Agreement.
Recall of the deposit copy under the Agreement. At any time within a period of two years, the Library of Congress may make a written request that a copy of archival quality be submitted for its permanent collections under the terms of the Motion Picture Agreement. Upon receipt of that request one complete copy of the film, meeting the standards set forth in Appendix A of the Agreement, must be sent to:
Motion Picture Section Motion Picture Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division The Library of Congress Washington, D. C.
Quality of copy deposited under the Agreement. If a depositor has signed the Motion Picture Agreement and deposits a copy, but does not request the return of the copy, it is considered a "non-agreement" film and is treated as though there is no Agreement on file. The standards that govern the quality of such a copy are those explained in section 806.13 above, and the special "archival quality" standards which are set forth in the language of the Agreement, and
Termination of the Motion Picture Agreement. The Library of Congress may terminate the Motion Picture Agreement for any good cause, including single or repeated instances of breach of the Agreement. If an Agreement is terminated by the Library, the termination applies only to motion pictures deposited after the termination, and does not affect the rights or obligations of either party with respect to any copies already deposited or returned under the Agreement. If
Special relief from the deposit requirements for registration. Special relief is a procedure which
Special relief granted. When special relief is granted, the application will be anno­tated as follows: "Special relief granted under 37 C.F.R. 202.20(d)." This annotation is keyed with an asterisk to the "DEPOSIT RECEIVED" space on the application for regis­tration.
NOTE: Where the work was first published before 1978, the annotation should also re­flect the nature of the material deposited and refer to the remitter's letter; for example:
Appendix. The text of the "'Best Edition' of Pub­lished Copyrighted Works for the Collections of the
APPENDIX
"Best Edition" of Published Copyrighted Works for the Collections of the Library of Congress·
   The Copyright Law (Title 17. United States Code) re­quires that copies or phonorecords deposited in the Copyright Office be of the "best edition" of the work. The law states that "The 'best edition' of a work is the edition, published in the United States at any time before the date of deposit. that the Library of Congress determines to be most suitable for its purposes."
   When two or more editions of the same version of a work have been published. the one of the highest quality is generally considered to be the best edition. In judging quality, the Library of Congress will adhere to the criteria set forth below in all but exceptional circumstances.
   Where differences between editions represent varia­tions in copyrightable content, each edition is a separate version and "best edition" standards based on such dif­ferences do not apply. Each such version is a separate work for the purposes of the Copyright Law.
   Appearing below are lists of criteria to be applied in determining the best edition of each of several types of material. The criteria are listed in descending order of importance. In deciding between two editions, a criterion-by-criterion comparison should be made. The edition which first fails to satisfy a cnterion is to be con­sidered of inferior quality and will not be an acceptable deposit. For example, if a comparison is made between two hardbound editions of a book, one a trade edition printed on acid-free paper and the other a specially bound edition printed on average paper, the former will be the best edition because the type of paper is a more important criterion than the binding.
   Under regulations of the Copyright Office, potential de­positors may request authorization to deposit copies or phonorecords of other than the best edition of a specific work (e.g., a microform rather than a printed edition of a serial).
