An applicant for deferred registration under this subsection shall submit— to the Copyright Office by electronic means— an application for deferred registration of the work or group of works; and the applicable fee; and to the Copyright Office or a third party registry (as described in section 711), each corresponding deposit in accordance with this section or section 711, as applicable.
The date on which materials are submitted under paragraph

At any time during the subsistence of copyright in a work that was the subject of a deferred registration under this subsection, the owner of copyright or of any exclusive right in the work may request, upon payment of the applicable fee, the examination of that work for registration under subsection (a). .
