* * * * * 

(b) * * * 

(2) Submission of application for 

registration. For purposes of 

registration, an applicant may submit an 

application for registration of individual 

works and certain groups of works 

electronically through the Copyright 

Office’s Web site, or by using the 

printed forms prescribed by the Register 

of Copyrights. 

(i) An applicant may submit an 

application electronically through the 

Copyright Office Web site 

[www.copyright.gov]. An online 

submission requires a payment of the 

application fee through an electronic 

fund transfer, credit or debit card, or 

through a Copyright Office deposit 

account. Deposit materials in support of 

the online application may be submitted 

electronically in a digital format along 

with the application and payment, or 

deposit materials in physically tangible 

formats may be separately mailed to the 

Copyright Office, using a mailing label 

generated during the online registration 

process, or 

(ii) (A) Alternatively, an applicant 

may submit an application on one of the 

printed forms prescribed by the Register 

of Copyrights. Each printed form 

corresponds to a class set forth in 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section and is so 

designated (‘‘Form TX’’; ‘‘Short Form 

TX’’, ‘‘Form PA’’; ‘‘Short Form PA’’, 

‘‘Form VA’’; ‘‘Short Form VA’’, ‘‘Form 

SR’’; ‘‘Form SE’’; ‘‘Short Form SE’’, and 

‘‘Form SE/Group’’). 

(B) Short form applications may only 

be used if certain conditions are met. 

Short Form TX, Short Form PA, and 

Short Form VA may be used only to 

register a single work in a case when a 

living author who is the only author of 

his or her work is the sole owner of the 

copyright in the work, the work is not 

a compilation or derivative work 

containing a substantial amount of 

previously published or registered 

material, and the work is not a work 

made for hire. Short Form SE may be 

used only if the claim is in a collective 

work, the work is essentially an all-new 

collective work or issue, the author is a 

citizen or domiciliary of the United 

States, the work is a work for hire, the 

author(s) and claimant(s) are the same 

person(s) or organization(s), and the 

work was first published in the United 

States. 

(C) Printed form 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 which fall into two or more 

classes, the application should be 

submitted in the class most appropriate 

to the type of authorship that 

predominates 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 on Form SR. 

(D) Copies of the printed forms are 

available on the Copyright Office’s Web 

site [www.copyright.gov] and upon 

request to the Copyright Public 

Information Office, Library of Congress. 

Printed form applications may be 

completed and submitted by completing 

a printed version or using a PDF version 

of the applicable Copyright Office 

application form and mailing it together 

with the other required elements, i.e., 

physically tangible deposit copies 

and/or materials, and the required filing 

fee, all elements being placed in the 

same package and sent by mail or handdelivered to the Copyright Office. 

(3) Continuation sheets. A 

continuation sheet (Form CON) is 

appropriate only in the case when a 

printed form application is used and 

where additional space is needed by the 

applicant to provide all relevant 

information concerning a claim to 

copyright. An application may include 

more than one continuation sheet, 

subject to the limitations in paragraph 

(b)(10)(v) of this section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 22, 2012, USPS Package 

Intercept service was introduced as a 

new domestic service that replaced the 

former recall of mail process. Plans were 

announced to implement new features 

for USPS Package Intercept service 

using a phased-in approach. The Postal 

Service proposes to implement the 

second phase of the program on June 24, 

2012, by offering an electronic 

application method for commercial 

customers to register and request USPS 

Package Intercept service through the 

Business Customer Gateway at https:// 

gateway.usps.com/bcg/login.htm. 

Additional related features include 

allowing these customers to redirect 

mailpieces to a new address or to a Post 

Office TM as Hold For Pickup service. 

Additionally, customers using the 

electronic process will have the option 

of adding selected extra services to the 

new Priority Mail® piece. Payment of all 

associated fees and postage will be 

made through the mailer’s Centralized 

Account Payment System (ACH-Debit) 

link. 

Except for pieces being redirected 

back to the sender that were originally 

sent Express Mail®, Priority Mail or 

First-Class Mail®, redirected mailpieces 

would be subject to payment of Priority 

Mail postage from the location where 

intercepted to the new destination based 

on the dimensions, weight and zone of 

the piece. An Intelligent Mail® package 

barcode will be included on the 

redirected new Priority Mail pieces. 

The USPS Package Intercept fee 

implemented on January 22, 2012, (see 

Notice 123–Price List) will not change. 

The USPS does not guarantee the 

interception of a mailpiece. 

The Postal Service adopts the 

following changes to Mailing Standards 

of the United States Postal Service, 

Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), 

incorporated by reference in the Code of 

Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
