(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 26, Fire protection. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by reports of 

multiple incidents of torn decompression 

panels being found in the bilge area. The 

FAA is issuing this AD to address the 

possibility of leakage in the bilge area, which 

could, in the event of a cargo fire, result in 

insufficient Halon concentrations to 

adequately control the fire. This condition, if 

not addressed, could result in the loss of 

continued safe flight and landing of the 

airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Within 30 days after the effective date of 

this AD, do a general visual inspection of the 

bilge barriers located in the forward and aft 

cargo compartments for disengaged or 

damaged (torn) decompression panels. If any 

disengaged but undamaged panel is found: 

Before further flight, reinstall the panel. If 

any damaged panel is found: Before further 

flight, replace the panel with a new or 

serviceable panel. Reinstallations and 

replacements must be done in accordance 

with the operator’s maintenance or 

inspection program, as applicable. Repeat the 

inspections thereafter at intervals not to 

exceed 120 days. 

(h) 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 responsible Flight 

Standards 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 (i) of this 

AD. Information may be emailed to: 9-ANMSeattle-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 responsible Flight Standards 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 Company 

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.

[Docket No. 2017–8] 

Secure Tests 

AGENCY: U.S. Copyright Office, Library 

of Congress. 

ACTION: Interim rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Copyright Office is 

issuing an interim rule amending its 

regulations governing the registration of 

copyright claims in secure tests and 

secure test items in order to address a 

temporary disruption caused by the 

COVID–19 pandemic. The interim rule 

allows for examination of these claims 

via secure videoconference during the 

national emergency. 

DATE: Effective February 19, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under section 408 of the Copyright 

Act, the U.S. Copyright Office is 

responsible for registering copyright 

claims.1 In so doing, the Office is 

obligated to obtain a registration deposit 

that is sufficient to verify the claim and 

to provide an archival record of what 

was examined and registered.2 Deposits 

of unpublished material must be kept 

for the full term of copyright 

protection,3 and all deposits are 

available for public inspection.4 The 

Act, however, authorizes the Office to 

issue regulations establishing ‘‘the 

nature of the copies . . . to be 

deposited’’ in specific classes of works 

and to ‘‘permit, for particular classes, 

the deposit of identifying material 

instead of copies or phonorecords.’’ 5

Pursuant to that authority, the Office 

has long provided special registration 

procedures for ‘‘secure tests’’ that 

require the maintenance of 

confidentiality of their contents. These 

tests include tests ‘‘used in connection 

with admission to educational 

institutions, high school equivalency, 

placement in or credit for undergraduate 

and graduate course work, awarding of 

scholarships, and professional 

certification.’’ 6 Current regulations 

define a secure test as ‘‘a nonmarketed 

test administered under supervision at 

specified centers on scheduled dates, all 

copies of which are accounted for and 

either destroyed or returned to restricted 

locked storage or secure electronic 

storage following each 

administration.’’ 7

On June 12, 2017, the Office issued an 

interim rule (the ‘‘June 2017 Interim 

Rule’’) that memorialized certain 

aspects of its secure test procedure and 

adopted new processes to increase the 

efficiency of its examination of such 

works.8 Under this rule, applicants 

must, among other things, submit an 

online application, a redacted copy of 

the entire test, and a brief questionnaire 

about the test through the electronic 

registration system.9 This procedure 

allows the Office to prescreen an 

application to determine whether the 

work appears to be eligible for 

registration as a secure test. If the test 

appears to qualify, the Office will 

schedule an in-person appointment for 

examination of an unredacted copy of 

the test.10 All in-person appointments 

take place at the Copyright Office, 

located in Washington, DC, at the James 

Madison Memorial Building of the 

Library of Congress. 

During the in-person meeting, the 

examiner reviews the redacted and 

unredacted copies in a secure location 

in the presence of the applicant or its 

representative.11 If the examiner 

determines that the relevant legal and 

formal requirements have been met, he 

or she will register the claim(s) and add 

an annotation to the certificate reflecting 

that the work was examined under the 

secure test procedure. The registration is 

effective as of the date that the Office 

received—in proper form—the 

application, filing fee, and the redacted 

copy that was uploaded to the electronic 

registration system.12 The June 2017 

Interim Rule thus gives applicants the 

benefit of establishing as their effective 

date of registration the date when those 

redacted materials are initially 

submitted to, and received by, the Office 

electronically, rather than the later date 

when the in-person examination of the 

unredacted material takes place. 

In response to concerns raised by 

stakeholders following the June 2017 

Interim Rule, the Office issued a second 

interim rule on November 13, 2017 (the 

‘‘November 2017 Interim Rule’’) to 

permit the registration of a group of test 

items (i.e., sets of questions and 

answers) stored in a database or test 

bank and used to create secure tests.13

For these claims, the November 2017 

Interim Rule adopted most of the 

registration procedures that apply to 

secure tests under the June 2017 Interim 

Rule. 

On May 8, 2020, the Office issued a 

third interim rule to address a 

disruption caused by the COVID–19 

pandemic (the ‘‘May 2020 Interim 

Rule’’).14 Specifically, certain tests that 

normally would qualify for registration 

as secure tests could be rendered 

ineligible for this option, because they 

were being administered remotely rather 

than at specified testing centers due to 

pandemic-related restrictions. The 

interim rule amended the definition of 

a ‘‘secure test’’ to allow otherwiseeligible tests currently being 

administered online during the national 

emergency to qualify as secure tests, 

provided the test administrator 

employed sufficient security 

measures.15 The rule did not specify 

particular measures required to meet 

this standard, in order to afford 

applicants flexibility to tailor such 

processes to their specific needs. The 

Office noted that the rule did not alter 

the requirement that a secure test be 

administered ‘‘under supervision,’’ 

meaning that ‘‘test proctors or the 

equivalent supervise the administration 

of the test.’’ 16
