accordance with, the Accomplishment 

Instructions of BSASB 777–25–0619, 

Revision 1, terminates the repetitive checks 

required by paragraph (h) of this AD for that 

seat only. 

(k) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(1) The Manager, Seattle ACO Branch, 

FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs 

for this AD, if requested using the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 

14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your 

principal inspector or local Flight Standards 

District Office, as appropriate. If sending 

information directly to the manager of the 

certification office, send it to the attention of 

the person identified in paragraph (l)(1) of 

this AD. Information may be emailed to: 9- 

ANM-Seattle-ACO-AMOC-Requests@faa.gov. 

(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/ 

certificate holding district office. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair, 

modification, or alteration required by this 

AD if it is approved by the Boeing 

Commercial Airplanes Organization 

Designation Authorization (ODA) that has 

been authorized by the Manager, Seattle ACO 

Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be 

approved, the repair method, modification 

deviation, or alteration deviation must meet 

the certification basis of the airplane, and the 

approval must specifically refer to this AD. 

(4) For service information that contains 

steps that are labeled as Required for 

Compliance (RC), the provisions of 

paragraphs (k)(4)(i) and (k)(4)(ii) of this AD 

apply. 

(i) The steps labeled as RC, including 

substeps under an RC step and any figures 

identified in an RC step, must be done to 

comply with the AD. If a step or substep is 

labeled ‘‘RC Exempt,’’ then the RC 

requirement is removed from that step or 

substep. An AMOC is required for any 

deviations to RC steps, including substeps 

and identified figures. 

(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be 

deviated from using accepted methods in 

accordance with the operator’s maintenance 

or inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified figures, can 

still be done as specified, and the airplane 

can be put back in an airworthy condition.

66182 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 26, 2018 / Proposed Rules 

1The Office recently issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking clarifying that the Single Application 

may not be used to register an architectural work. 

The Single Application is an electronic application 

designed ‘‘for those authors who file the simplest 

kind of [claim].’’ 78 FR 38843, 38845 (June 28, 

2013). Architecture claims are not a good fit for this 

application because they tend to be very complex. 

83 FR 5227, 5228 (Feb. 6, 2017). To avoid potential 

confusion, the proposed rule removes the word 

‘‘single’’ wherever it appears in the regulation on 

architectural works. 

2As with other rules recently promulgated by the 

Office, the proposed rule would allow the Office to 

waive the online filing requirement in exceptional 

cases. Applicants who do not have internet access 

and are unable to use the Standard Application may 

request a waiver in writing. The Office will review 

each request and will make accommodations for 

applicants who receive a waiver, such as making 

staff available to assist with filling out the 

application. 

Education at: LBJ Building, 400 

Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC 

20202. 

The January meeting will be held in 

room 288–04. The February meeting 

will be held in room 288–04. The March 

meeting will be held in room 288–04. 

Subcommittee meetings are not open 

to the public. The subcommittee 

meetings will be made available to the 

public through a Department-provided 

livestream.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 

U.S. Copyright Office 

37 CFR Part 202 

[Docket No. 2018–13] 

Simplifying Copyright Registration for 

Architectural Works 

AGENCY: U.S. Copyright Office, Library 

of Congress. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is 

proposing to amend its regulations 

pertaining to the registration of 

architectural works. To improve the 

efficiency of this process, applicants 

will be required to submit their claims 

through the online application process, 

rather than a paper application, and 

they will be encouraged to upload a 

digital copy of their works through the 

electronic registration system, instead of 

submitting a physical copy. The 

proposed rule also clarifies that a date 

of construction is needed only if the 

architectural work was embodied in 

unpublished plans or drawings on or 

before December 1, 1990 and if the work 

was constructed before January 1, 2003. 

The Office invites public comment on 

the proposed changes. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule 

must be made in writing and must be 

received in the U.S. Copyright Office no 

later than February 11, 2019. 

ADDRESSES: For reasons of government 

efficiency, the Copyright Office is using 

the regulations.gov system for the 

submission and posting of public 

comments in this proceeding. All 

comments are therefore to be submitted 

electronically through regulations.gov. 

Specific instructions for submitting 

comments are available on the 

Copyright Office website at http://

www.copyright.gov/rulemaking/ 

architecturalworks/. If electronic 

submission of comments is not feasible 

due to lack of access to a computer and/ 

or the internet, please contact the Office 

using the contact information below for 

special instructions.

and jrubel@copyright.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

the U.S. Copyright Office’s ongoing 

effort to improve the quality and 

readability of its regulations, the Office 

is proposing to amend the rules 

governing the registration of 

architectural works, which have 

remained essentially unchanged since 

1992. 57 FR 45307 (Oct. 1, 1992); 68 FR 

38630 (June 30, 2003). The regulation 

pertaining to the registration and 

application requirements is set forth in 

37 CFR 202.11, the regulation governing 

the deposit requirements for registration 

is set forth in 37 CFR 202.20(c)(2)(xviii). 

The regulation governing the mandatory 

deposit requirements, set forth in 37 

CFR 202.19(d)(2)(viii), will remain 

unchanged. The Office welcomes 

comments on these proposed changes. 

Application Requirements 

The current regulation states that 

applicants must use a paper application 

to register an architectural work and 

that the claim must be submitted on 

Form VA. 37 CFR 202.11(c)(3). This 

does not reflect the Office’s current 

practices. Since 2008, the Office has 

accepted claims submitted through the 

Office’s electronic registration system 

(‘‘eCO’’), and in fact, many architecture 

claims are filed in this manner. 

Under the proposed rule, applicants 

will be required to submit their claims 

through the eCO system using the 

Standard Application. The Office will 

no longer accept architectural works 

submitted for registration on a paper 

application using Form VA. If a paper 

application is received after the effective 

date of this rule, the Office will refuse 

registration and instruct the applicant to 

resubmit the claim on the Standard 

Application.1

A substantial majority of the U.S. 

population has access to the internet, 

and the Office expects that most 

architects will be able to use the 

electronic system. See 81 FR 86643, 

86648 & nn. 15–16 (Dec. 1, 2016). 

Architects typically use sophisticated 

computer software to create their works, 

and thus, should be capable of using the 

Standard Application to register their 

claims.2

The Office believes that requiring 

applicants to use the Standard 

Application, rather than Form VA, is 

necessary to improve the overall 

efficiency of the registration process. 

Most claims submitted on Form VA 

require correspondence or other action 

from the Office. Applicants often fail to 

provide information expressly requested 

on the form, or add extraneous 

information that is not requested. In
