Amendments to compulsory educational book reprints

Only one authorized private publisher or printer per particular book title can undertake reprinting.
Applicants must file an application with the National Library including: title, author, original publisher, foreign list price (if Philippine book), proposed list price of reprint, name of printer, number of copies, and applicant's name and address.
Applications for subsequent reprintings are required with copies sent to local representatives of foreign publishers.
Reprinting must be completed within 60 days from approval; failure allows others to apply.
"Exorbitant price" is defined as not less than Thirty-Five Pesos (P35.00) per unit or as increased by the Reprint Committee.
Each reprinted copy must be consecutively numbered on the copyright page.
Books reprinted before these amendments must register with the National Library within 30 days.

Reprinted books must properly acknowledge source, authorship, copyright holders, previous printers (if known), and publishers/printers' names and addresses.
Any abbreviation or editing must be declared.
A mandated inscription "Export of this Book or material is punishable by law" must appear on the cover.
Export of reprinted books is strictly prohibited.
Violators found exporting reprints face penalties and disqualification from future reprinting with license cancellation.

Reprinters must pay royalties to copyright owners:
- At least 7% of Philippine list price for locally published books.
- At least 2% of the foreign list price for foreign-published books.
Sales reports and royalty payments are submitted semi-annually.
For non-resident copyright owners, royalties may be remitted in dollars.

The Reprint Committee resolves conflicts or claims arising under the decree.
Committee decisions become final 15 days after receipt unless appealed to the Office of the President.
The Committee is authorized to issue and enforce necessary rules and regulations for effective implementation.

Violators face imprisonment from six months to three years, or fines from Ten Thousand to Fifty Thousand Pesos, or both.
In corporate violations, responsible officers (directors, managers) are held liable, and the corporation pays fines.
Books printed, published, or exported illegally are confiscated.
Establishments involved in violations shall be closed and barred from operations.
