      In any case in which the Register of Copyrights determines, on

    require, that a deposit, application, fee, or any other material to
    be delivered to the Copyright Office by a particular date, would
    have been received in the Copyright Office in due time except for a
    general disruption or suspension of postal or other transportation
    or communications services, the actual receipt of such material in

    Register determines that the disruption or suspension of such
    services has terminated, shall be considered timely.
