works were first published; and

5. The renewal application identifies each work separately, including the
periodical containing it and the date of first publication.

+ TIME LIMITS FOR GROUP RENEWALS: To be renewed as a group, all the
contributions must have been first published during the same calendar

two 1972 copyrights can be renewed as a group during 2000; but the 1973
copyright must be renewed by itself in 2001.
