, Third Edition 1802.9(C) Reexamination of the Deposit Copy

In some cases, it may be necessary to compare the information provided in the application for supplementary registration with the deposit copyfies) which were submitted with the application for the basic registration, particularly if the supplementary registration changes the publication status of the work, adds additional authors to the registration record, or makes changes to the certificate of registration in the fields/spaces marked Author Created, Limitation of Copyright Claim, Nature of Authorship, or New Material Added to This Work.

If the U.S. Copyright Office does not have the deposit copyfies) in its possession, or if the deposit copyfies] cannot be found within the collections of the Library of Congress, the specialist will ask the applicant to submit a replacement deposit together with a written declaration confirming that the replacement is identical to the deposit copyfies) that were submitted with the application for basic registration fincluding the copyright notice if the work was published in the United States before March 1, 1989).

1802.9(D) Multiple Corrections and Amplifications Submitted on the Same Application

If the applicant discovers errors in the basic registration and missing information that should have been included in the application for basic registration, the applicant may correct and amplify the information that appears in the basic registration by filing a single application for supplementary registration.

As a general rule, if the applicant provides the corrected or amplified information in the wrong space of the application [e.g., using the amplification field to correct an error in the basic registration), the registration specialist may issue a supplementary registration without communicating with the applicant, as long as the information appears elsewhere on Form CA. Likewise, the specialist may issue a supplementary registration, even if the specialist disagrees with the applicant as to whether the proposed change constitutes a "correction" or an "amplification." See Corrections and Amplifications of Copyright Registrations; Import Statements; and Recordation of Transfers and Other Documents, 43 Fed. Reg. 771, 771 fjan. 4, 1978).

Example:

• Farida Hazra Khan wrote a travelogue titled Get Your Groove On. In 2013 Farida's agent registered the work, but she mistakenly identified the author as Hazra Khan. In the Rights and Permissions field the agent stated that requests to license the work should be sent to her address in Chicago. The agent subsequently moved to Philadelphia. The author's correct name and the agent's current address may be added to the registration record by providing the following information in spaces B and C of Form CA:

- Line Number, n/ 'a.

- Line Heading or Description: Author.
