Deposit Requirements
This Section discusses the deposit requirements for registering a group of daily newsletters.
One Complete Copy of Each Issue
In all cases, the applicant must submit one complete copy of each newsletter issue that is included in the group (in addition to submitting a copy of each issue on microfilm or providing a complimentary subscription as discussed in Section 1111.5(B) below). See 37 C.F.R. § 202.3 (b)(9) (vi) (A).
If the newsletter is published in a tangible format, the applicant should submit one complete print copy of each issue.
If the newsletter is published exclusively online, the applicant should submit (i) one complete printout of each issue, or (ii) a disc or CD-ROM containing a complete copy of each issue together with a printout of the first and last issues in the group.
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) .
Microfilm or Complimentary Subscriptions
If the applicant receives an express written request from the Copyright Acquisitions Division of the Library of Congress ("CAD"), the applicant may be required to provide the Library with up to two complimentary subscriptions of the edition that is most suitable for its needs. Alternatively, the applicant may be required to submit one complete copy of the final edition of each issue that was published in the month
