Telephone (202) 707-8380, Telefax (202) 707- 8366. 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. [FR Doc. 96-30590 Filed 12-2-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 1410-30-P
