Secure Tests Interim Rule
Issue No. 691 - November 13, 2017
The United States Copyright Office has adopted a new interim rule governing its special procedure for examining secure tests. This interim rule establishes a new group registration option for secure test questions and answers and other related materials (referred to as “test items”). This option will permit registration of test items that are stored in an electronic database or test bank. The interim rule will go into effect immediately. The Office is continuing to accept comments on its earlier June 12, 2017, interim rule for secure tests as well as this new interim rule.
The new interim rule and instructions on how to submit a comment are available here. Written comments must be received no later than December 11, 2017, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.
