requirement of this subsection in occasional or isolated cases
involving relatively small amounts.

that he or she shall prescribe, refund any sum paid by mistake or in

basis of such evidence as the Register may by regulation require, that
a deposit, application, fee, or any other material to be delivered to
the Copyright Office by a particular date, would have been received in
the Copyright Office in due time except for a general disruption or
suspension of postal or other transportation or communications
services, the actual receipt of such material in the Copyright Office
within one month after the date on which the Register determines that
the disruption or suspension of such services has terminated, shall be
considered timely.
Section 710. Reproduction for use of the blind and physically
handicapped: Voluntary licensing forms and procedures.
The Register of Copyrights shall, after consultation with the Chief of
the Division for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and other
appropriate officials of the Library of Congress, establish by
regulation standardized forms and procedures by which, at the time
applications covering certain specified categories of nondramatic
literary works are submitted for registration under section 408 of this
title, the copyright owner may voluntarily grant to the Library of
Congress a license to reproduce the copyrighted work by means of
Braille or similar tactile symbols, or by fixation of a reading of the
work in a phonorecord, or both, and to distribute the resulting copies
or phonorecords solely for the use of the blind and physically
handicapped and under limited conditions to be specified in the
standardized forms.
