SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1990,

the Copyright Office adopted a new

registration procedure which permitted

group registration of serial publications

under certain conditions. 55 FR 50556

(1990). This procedure is part of the

regulations of the Copyright Office at 37

CFR Chap. II, §§ 202.3(b)(5) and

202.20(c)(2)(xvii). The primary

requirement for an applicant to become

eligible to use the group registration

procedure is for the applicant to

establish two complimentary

subscriptions of the individual serial

title for the Library of Congress. In order

to encourage compliance, the

regulations required that the applicant

submit a letter to the General Counsel’s

Office, stating that the complimentary

subscriptions had been entered.

In administering the group

registration procedure, the letter

submitted has been addressed to the

General Counsel’s Office. In the future

this letter should be addressed to:

Library of Congress, ‘‘Group Periodicals

Registration,’’ Washington, D.C. 20540–

4161. In the future, the Copyright

Acquisitions Division, will maintain the

file of these letters relating to group

registration of serials. Questions or

requests for information relating to

deposits for group registration of serials

should be directed to the Chief of the

Copyright Acquisitions Division (202)

to this procedure will continue without

modification.
