37 CFR Parts 201, 202, 211, and 212 

[Docket No. 2018–1] 

Streamlining the Single Application 

and Clarifying Eligibility Requirements 

AGENCY: U.S. Copyright Office, Library 

of Congress. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Copyright Office is 

amending its regulations to update the 

eligibility requirements for its 

application forms to reflect recent 

technical updates. The final rule 

clarifies that the Single Application may 

be used to register one work that is 

created and solely owned by one author 

and is not a work made for hire. It also 

confirms that this application may be 

used to register one sound recording 

and one musical work, literary work, or 

dramatic work, notwithstanding the fact 

that a sound recording and the work 

embodied in that recording are separate 

works. The final rule further clarifies 

the eligibility requirements for the 

Standard Application, which may be 

used to register certain works that are 

not eligible for the Single Application. 

It updates the eligibility requirements 

for the paper applications of both the 

Single Application and Standard 

Application by clarifying that these 

forms may be certified with a typed, 

printed, or handwritten signature, and 

by eliminating the ‘‘short form’’ version 

of these forms. The rule also makes 

several technical amendments to the 

regulations governing preregistration, 

mask works, vessel designs, the unit of 

publication registration option, and the 

group registration option for database 

updates. 

DATES: Effective January 28, 2019. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert J. Kasunic, Associate Register of 

Copyrights and Director of Registration 

Policy and Practice; Erik Bertin, Deputy 

Director of Registration Policy and 

Practice; or Anna Bonny Chauvet, 

Assistant General Counsel, by telephone

copyright.gov, ebertin@copyright.gov, or 

achau@copyright.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

408(a) of the Copyright Act provides 

that a copyright owner or the owner of 

any of the exclusive rights in a work 

may seek a registration by delivering an 

application, filing fee, and an 

appropriate deposit to the U.S. 

Copyright Office (the ‘‘Office’’). 17 

U.S.C. 408(a). The statute gives the 

Register of Copyrights the authority to 

issue regulations concerning the specific 

nature of the deposit that should be 

submitted, the amount of the fee, and 

the information that should be included 

in the application. 17 U.S.C. 408(c)(1), 

409(10), 702, 708(b). 

On February 6, 2018, the Office issued 

a notice of proposed rulemaking (the 

‘‘NPRM’’) proposing to update the 

regulations governing its application 

forms to coincide with technical 

upgrades to its current electronic 

registration system. 83 FR 5227 (Feb. 6, 

2018). The NPRM proposed changes to 

the regulations governing the Single 

Application to reflect changes in the 

Office’s electronic registration system 

and made a number of technical 

amendments. With respect to the Single 

Application, the proposed rule clarified 

that the Single Application may be used 

if (i) the claim is limited to one work, 

(ii) the work was created by one 

individual, (iii) all of the content 

appearing in the work was created by 

that individual, (iv) the author is sole 

owner of all rights in the work, and (v) 

the work is not a work made for hire. 

See 83 FR at 5228, 5229. 

One exception is made for sound 

recordings that embody separate 

musical, literary, or dramatic works. 

The NPRM explained current Copyright 

Office practice that the Single 

Application may be used to register one 

sound recording and one musical work, 

literary work, or dramatic work together 

if certain requirements have been met, 

notwithstanding the fact that a sound 

recording and the work embodied in 

that recording are separate works. In 

particular, (i) the author of the sound 

recording and the work embodied in 

that recording must be the same 

individual, (ii) the author must own the 

copyright in both works, and (iii) the 

author must be the only performer 


khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
66628 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 247 / Thursday, December 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

1The proposed rule made this change only with 

respect to copyright registration applications 

submitted on paper. The final rule eliminates the 

handwritten signature requirements in other kinds 

of paper forms as well. See 37 CFR 

202.17(g)(2)(ii)(B) (Form RE); id. § 211.4(b)(3)(ii) 

(Form MW); id. 212.8(c)(1)(x)(A) (Form DC). 

2A copy of this comment may be found on the 

Office’s website at https://www.copyright.gov/ 

rulemaking/streamlining-single/. 

featured in the recording. See id. at 

5228. The Office also invited comment 

on whether the last requirement should 

be modified to allow for situations 

where other performers are featured in 

the sound recording. See id. at 5228–29. 

Finally, the NPRM made clear that the 

Single Application may be submitted by 

the author/owner of the work or by a 

duly authorized agent of the author/ 

owner, provided that the agent is 

identified in the correspondent section 

of the application. The Office noted that 

the filing fee for the Single Application 

is lower than the fee required for its 

other applications, but that the vast 

majority of these claims are submitted 

by publishers, producers, distributors, 

or other corporate entities. The Office 

thus questioned whether these types of 

entities need a discounted filing fee, and 

invited comment on whether they 

should be allowed to submit the Single 

Application on the author/owner’s 

behalf. See id. at 5229. 

The NRPM also proposed a number of 

technical amendments. First, the NPRM 

made explicit Copyright Office practice 

that the Standard Application may be 

used to register any work that is eligible 

for registration under sections 408(a) 

and 409 of the Copyright Act, but it may 

not be used to seek a supplementary 

registration, a registration for a restored 

work, or a registration for a mask work 

or vessel design. It also clarified that the 

Standard Application may not be used 

to seek a group registration unless it is 

specifically permitted by the 

regulations. See id. 

Second, the proposed rule updated 

the regulations governing paper 

applications by clarifying that these 

forms may be certified with a typed, 

printed, or handwritten signature. See 

id.1

Third, the proposed rule eliminated 

the ‘‘short form’’ version of the paper 

applications. See id. at 5229–30. 

Fourth and finally, the proposed rule 

removed the word ‘‘single’’ from various 

places in the regulations to avoid 

potential confusion with the Single 

Application. 

The Office received one comment 

from one individual who expressed 

support for allowing ‘‘the Single 

Application to be used to register one 

sound recording and one musical work, 

literary work, or dramatic work 

notwithstanding the fact that a sound 

recording and the work embodied in 

that recording are separate works.’’ 2

Accordingly, the Office is issuing a final 

rule nearly identical to the proposed 

rule, with a few additional technical 

changes. First, the final rule accounts 

for amendments resulting from a recent 

final rule on group registration of 

newsletters and serials. See 83 FR 61546 

(Nov. 30, 2018). Second, the rule 

clarifies that claims should be submitted 

for registration in the administrative 

class that is most appropriate for the 

work being claimed, regardless of 

whether the paper or online application 

is used, and that sound recording claims 

should be submitted for registration in 

Class SR. 

The Office did not receive comments 

on any other aspect of the proposed 

rule, including the Office’s question 

whether the author of a sound recording 

that features performers other than the 

author should be allowed to use the 

Single Application. The Office is 

accordingly maintaining the 

requirement that the author of the sound 

recording be the only performer on (and 

thus the sole author of) the sound 

recording. The Office remains open to 

revisiting this requirement in the course 

of its registration modernization process 

and encourages interested members of 

the public to provide views on this 

question in connection with those 

efforts. Similarly, due to the lack of 

comment, the Office is maintaining the 

ability for third parties to file Single 

Applications on behalf of the author/ 

owner of the work, but will continue to 

monitor the usage of the Single 

Application. If corporate entities 

continue to be the predominant users of 

the Single Application, the Office may 

narrow the eligibility requirements, or 

reevaluate the need for that application 

entirely.

(2) * * * 

(i) Online applications. An applicant 

may submit a claim through the Office’s 

electronic registration system using the 

Standard Application, the Single 

Application, or the applications 

designated in § 202.4. 

(A) The Standard Application may be 

used to register a work under sections 

408(a) and 409 of title 17, including a 

work by one author, a joint work, a work 

made for hire, a derivative work, a 

collective work, or a compilation. The 

Standard Application may also be used 

to register a unit of publication under 

paragraph (b)(4) of this section, or a 

sound recording and a literary, 

dramatic, or musical work under 

paragraphs (b)(1)(iv)(A) through (C) of 

this section. 

(B)(1) The Single Application may be 

used only to register one work by one 

author. All of the content appearing in 

the work must be created by the same 

individual. The work must be owned by 

the author who created it, and the 

author and the claimant must be the 

same individual. 

(2) The Single Application may be 

used to register one sound recording 

and one musical work, dramatic work, 

or literary work if the conditions set 

forth in paragraphs (b)(1)(iv)(A) through 

(C) and (b)(2)(i)(B)(1) of this section 

have been met. 

(3) The following categories of works 

may not be registered using the Single 

Application: collective works, 

databases, websites, architectural works, 

choreographic works, works made for 

hire, works by more than one author, 

works with more than one owner, or 

works eligible for registration under 

§ 202.4 or paragraph (b)(4) or (5) of this 

section. 

* * * * * 

(ii) Paper applications. (A) An 

applicant may submit an application 

using one of the printed forms 

prescribed by the Register of Copyrights. 

Each form corresponds to one of the 

administrative classes set forth in 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section. These 

forms are designated ‘‘Form TX,’’ ‘‘Form 

PA,’’ ‘‘Form VA,’’ ‘‘Form SR,’’ and 

‘‘Form SE.’’ These forms may be used to 

register a work under sections 408(a) 

and 409 of title 17, including a work by 

one author, a joint work, a work made 

for hire, a derivative work, a collective 

work, or a compilation. 

* * * * * 

(iii) Application class. Applications 

should be submitted in the class most 

appropriate to the nature of the 

authorship in which copyright is 

claimed. In the case of contributions to 

collective works, applications should be 

submitted in the class representing the 

copyrightable authorship in the 

contribution. In the case of derivative 

works, applications should be submitted 

in the class most appropriately 

representing the copyrightable 

authorship involved in recasting, 

transforming, adapting, or otherwise 

modifying the preexisting work. In cases 

where a work contains elements of 

authorship in which copyright is 

claimed that fall into two or more 

classes, the application should be 

submitted in the class most appropriate 

to the predominant type of authorship 

in the work as a whole. However, in any 

case where registration is sought for a 

work consisting of or including a sound 

recording in which copyright is 

claimed, the application shall be 

submitted for registration in Class SR. 

* * * * * 

(c) * * * 

(1) As a general rule, an application 

for copyright registration may be 

submitted by any author or other 

copyright claimant of a work, the owner 

of any exclusive right in a work, or the 

duly authorized agent of any such 

author, other claimant, or owner. A 

Single Application, however, may be 

submitted only by the author/claimant 

or by a duly authorized agent of the 

author/claimant, provided that the agent 

is identified in the application as the 

correspondent. 

(2) All applications shall include the 

information required by the particular 

form, and shall be accompanied by the 

appropriate filing fee, as required in 

§ 201.3(c) of this chapter, and the 

deposit required under 17 U.S.C. 408 

and § 202.20, § 202.21, or § 202.4, as 

appropriate. 

(3) All applications submitted for 

registration shall include a certification. 

(i) As a general rule, the application 

may be certified by an author, claimant, 

an owner of exclusive rights, or a duly 

authorized agent of the author, claimant, 

or owner of exclusive rights. A Single 

Application, however, may be certified 

only by the author/claimant or by a duly 

authorized agent of the author/claimant. 

(ii) For online applications, the 

certification shall include the typed 

name of a party identified in paragraph 

(c)(3)(i) of this section. For paper 

applications, the certification shall 

include the typed, printed, or 

handwritten signature of a party 

identified in paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this 

section, and if the signature is 

handwritten it shall be accompanied by 

the typed or printed name of that party. 

(iii) The declaration shall state that 

the information provided within the 

application is correct to the best of the 

certifying party’s knowledge. 

(iv) For online applications, the date 

of the certification shall be 

automatically assigned by the electronic 

registration system on the date the 

application is received by the Copyright 

Office. For paper applications, the 

certification shall include the month, 

day, and year that the certification was 

signed by the certifying party. 

(v) An application for registration of 

a published work will not be accepted 

if the date of certification is earlier than 

the date of publication given in the 

application.

rule on November 27, 2018 (83 FR 

60769). This final rule approved the 

Alaska SIP as meeting specific 

infrastructure requirements for the fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). 

For more information, please see the 

EPA’s rulemaking action at https://

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R10–OAR–2017–0597, and the 

Federal Register publications for the 

proposed rule on January 23, 2018 (83 

FR 3101), and the final rule on 

November 27, 2018 (83 FR 60769). 

Need for Correction 

As published, the regulatory text in 

the final rule contains a minor error 

that, if not corrected, prevents 

publication of the regulatory 

amendment in the Code of Federal 

Regulations. The EPA finds that there is 

good cause to make this correction 

without providing for notice and 

comment because neither notice nor 

comment is necessary and would not be 

in the public interest due to the nature 

of the correction which is minor, 

technical and does not change the 

obligations already existing in the rule. 

The EPA finds that the corrections are 

merely correcting the wording in the 

amendatory language so that the 

provision may be published in the Code 

of Federal Regulations. 

Corrections of Publication 

In the regulatory text to the final rule 

for ‘‘Air Plan Approval; AK: Fine 

Particulate Matter Infrastructure 

Requirements’’ published November 27, 

2018 (83 FR 60769), the EPA is 

correcting a minor error in amendatory 

instruction number 2.b. Instruction 

number 2.b. reads ‘‘Adding entries 

‘Infrastructure Requirements—2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS’ and ‘Infrastructure 

Requirements—1997, 2006, and 2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS’ after entry ‘Interstate 

Transport Requirements—2010 SO2

NAAQS’.’’ However, there is no entry 

‘‘Interstate Transport Requirements— 

2010 SO2 NAAQS’’. The EPA is 

correcting this error so that amendatory 

instruction number 2.b. reads ‘‘Adding
