II.
In certain cases, the certificate may be re­-mailed to a new address:
a.
If the certificate contains the name and address of a claimant, other than that indicated in the "ret urn address" box, it will be remailed to the new address.
b.
In certain cases, the undelivered certifi­cate may be remailed to an author or specified co-author, even if he is not a copyright claimant.
III.
If no alternate address can be found, the regis­tration number and date of return will be indicated on the mailing envelope, and both the certificate and envelope will be filed by number in a special file, to await inquiries from the applicant.
IV.
In remailing a certificate returned by the Post Office, the certificate shall be left in the original envelope and both shall be mailed in another envelope. The date of remailing should be recorded on the mailing sheet.
15.1.5
Remailing of returned certificates. When a certifi­cate that has been returned to the Copyright Office for some reason other than merely because it was un­deliverable, and is ready to be remailed, it should be referred to the examiner who will attach a slip indicating the circumstances of the case; if the certificate is to accompany a letter, the examiner will give the slip, together with the date of mailing, to the clerk in charge of mailing certificates. The following are the most usual circumstances of this type:
1)
Certificate remailed without change
2)
New certificate for same registration mailed
3)
Corrected certificate mailed
