[Docket No. 96-6]

Collections of the Library of Congress
AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.
ACTION: Proposed rule; Extension of filing period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is extending the filing period for
comments on proposed amendments to the regulations governing the
deposit of the ``best edition'' of published motion pictures. This
extension will provide interested parties with adequate time to
comment.
DATES: Filings should be received by January 14, 1997.
ADDRESSES: By mail: Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Southwest
Station, Washington, D.C. 20023. By hand: Office of the General
Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office, James Madison Memorial Building, Room

Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Southwest Station,
Washington, D.C. 20024. Telephone (202) 707-8380, Telefax (202) 707-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 15, 1996 (61 FR 58497), the
Copyright Office published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the
regulations regarding the deposit of the ``best edition'' of published
motion pictures. The purpose of the proposed rule is to remove the
``most widely distributed gauge'' as a selection faction of the ``best
edition'' and add new videotape formats to the prioritized list of
material preferences based on current industry practices.
Although the Office meant the comment period to last at least six
weeks, the Notice inadvertently set a deadline of December 6, 1996, for
comments. Interested parties have asked about an extension of the
comment period, and the Office has decided to extend the deadline to
January 14, 1997.
Dated: November 26, 1996.
Marilyn J. Kretsinger,
Acting General Counsel.
