CO Adopts Interim Rule for Examining Secure Tests

The Copyright Office said it adopted an interim rule to codify existing procedures for examining "secure tests" like the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The interim rule requires all applicants to submit an online application, upload an unredacted copy of the secure test to the office’s electronic registration system and complete a questionnaire about the test, said a notice in Monday's Federal Register. The interim rule discontinues the CO’s existing practice of examining databases or computer programs used to administer the secure test. The interim rule takes effect July 12, and comments are due Dec. 11.
