that the information given in this application is correct to the best of my knowledge." See 37 C.F.R. § 202.3[c)[2)[ii). There is no need to date the certification in an online application; the date will be added automatically when the application is received by the U.S. Copyright Office. See Online Registration of Claims to Copyright, 72 Fed. Reg. 36,883, 36,887 [July 6, 2007].
When completing Form SE/Group, the applicant should sign and date the application in the space marked "Handwritten signature." The first and last name of the person who signed the application should be typed or printed on the space marked "Typed or printed name."
1109.8 Submitting the Deposit
As discussed in Section 1109.5, the applicant must submit one complete copy of each issue that is included in the group, regardless of whether the applicant submits an online application or a paper application and regardless of whether the serial is subject to the complimentary subscription requirement.
When completing an online application, the applicant may upload an electronic copy of each issue through the electronic registration system. The file for each issue should not exceed 170 megabytes, and each file should be uploaded sequentially in chronological order. When all of the issues in the group have been uploaded, the applicant should click the "upload complete" button. Additional information concerning the Library's current preferences for file-level format and specifications are posted on the Office's website [www.copyright.gov/eco/help-file-types.html).
In the alternative, the applicant may submit a physical copy of each issue in the group, or the applicant may submit a disc containing an electronic copy of each issue. The deposit copies may be delivered by mail, by courier, or by hand delivery to the Public Information Office. In all cases, the deposit copies must be submitted together with the shipping slip that is generated by the electronic registration system. Failure to include a shipping slip may prevent the Office from connecting the deposit copies with the online application and may require the applicant to resubmit the deposit, which in turn, may change the effective date of registration for the group registration. See Chapter 600, Section 625. 2[D). Deposit copies submitted without shipping slips will not be returned.
Packages that are delivered to the U.S. Copyright Office by mail or by courier will be irradiated to destroy possible contaminants, such as anthrax. This process may damage CD-ROMs or other compact discs. To avoid this result, applicants are strongly encouraged to send these types of materials in boxes rather than envelopes. Additional information concerning the recommended procedure for delivering deposits to the Office by mail or by courier is posted on the Office's website [www.copyright.gov /mail.html) .
When completing a paper application the applicant should submit a package containing a complete copy of each issue together with the completed application and the correct filing fee. For information concerning the methods for paying the filing fee, see
