. (cont'd) shall contain a listing of the names and rela­tionships to that deceased author or all of the following, together with specific indication of the person or persons executing the notice who constitute more than one-half of that author's termination interest: That author's surviving widow or widower: and all of that author's surviving children: and, where any of that author's children are dead, all of the sur­viving children of any such deceased child of that author. However, instead of the infor­mation required above in this subsection, the notice may contain both of the following: (A) A statement of as much of such information as is currently available to the person or persons signing the notice, with a brief explana­tion of the reasons why full information is or may be lacking: together with (B) a statement that, to the best knowledge and belief of the person or persons signing the notice, the notice has been signed by all persons whose signature is necessary to terminate the grant under section 304(c) of title 17, U.S.C., or by their duly authorized agents. See 37 C.F.R. 201.10(b)(v). NOTE: The Copyright Office will generally not question whether the interest of the person or persons on whose behalf the notice of termination was executed constitute more than one-half of the author's termination interest.
