Title on notice: "My Heart's a Wanderer by James Schovill, in Pardon My Past (Ep-123456, June 30, 1956)".
III.
A notice will be accepted if it contains a title sufficient to identify the musical composition in question. As further means of identification, however, it is desirable that the title be followed by the names of the authors, the registration number, and the copyright year date.
IV.
The notice of use should not contain information concerning the performers who have recorded the works, or concerning the recordings themselves. Where this information has been given, and it appears that there may be a misunderstanding concerning the notice of use requirements or the purpose of a notice of use, a new notice should be requested omitting this information.
13.3.4.
Date of recordation.
I.
The date of recordation for a notice of use is the date the last necessary element (acceptable notice and required fee) is received.
a.
When it is necessary to request a new notice because of some defect in the earlier one filed, the date the new notice is received is regarded as the date of recordation.
b.
When the fee, or part of the fee, is received after receipt of the notice, the date of receipt of the amount making up the total fee is the date of recordation.
