In general.

Ad interim registration may be made for three general types of books and periodicals in the English language manufactured and first published outside the United States. (See Ch. 8, Works first published abroad.)
1.
Works by U. S •citizens or domiciliaries.
2.
Works which would have been exempted from the manufacturing requirements by virtue of § 9(c) of the Code, but which failed to meet the U.C.C. notice require­ments provided in that section.
3.
Works by authors who are citizens of countries with which the U. S. has established copyright relations, but who are not citizens of a country party to the U.C.C. and who do not first publish the work in such a country.
b.
A book or periodical in a foreign language is not registrable ad interm.
c.
If an application for ad interim registration is received for a work in a class which is not sub­ject to the manufacturing clause (e.g., a drama or a book of music), an application for full-term registration on the appropriate from (e.g., Form D or Form E Foreign) nay be suggested instead.
II.
American edition. After a book or periodical in the English language has been registered ad interim, an edition manufactured and published in the United States with appropriate notice within five years of foreign publication may be registered in Class A or B.
