clause (1), the Register of Copyrights shall establish regulations
specifically permitting a single registration for a group of works by
the same individual author, all first published as contributions to
periodicals, including newspapers, within a twelve-month period, on
the basis of a single deposit, application, and registration fee, under
all of the following conditions-

(A) if each of the works as first published bore a separate
copyright notice, and the name of the owner of copyright in the
work, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a
generally known alternative designation of the owner was the

(B) if the deposit consists of one copy of the entire issue of
the periodical, or of the entire section in the case of a newspaper,

(C) if the application identifies each work separately,
including the periodical containing it and its date of first
publication.
