This is from Circular 15t on the US site:
"=B7      A work published before January 1, 1964, and originally=
 copyrighted=20

fallen into the public domain, but works published after that date could=20
still be protected by copyright if the copyright was renewed by=20
registration or automatically by law under Public Law 102-307."

Now let me ask, what does OKOM mean?
