9.3 ISBN registration agencies
The administration of the ISBN system within a registration group is the responsibility of
the ISBN registration agency. The ISBN registration agency may operate on a national,
regional, linguistic, or other reasonable division of responsibility according to the basis of
the group allocation. 
Within a group there may be several national agencies (e.g., group identifier 978 0 and
978 1 have separate agencies in Australia, English speaking Canada, the United
Kingdom, the United States and so on). 
The functions and responsibilities of an ISBN registration agency are:
  To ensure that continuous service is provided
  To issue notification of the assignment of an ISBN or an ISBN registrant element to the
registrant of that monographic publication or publisher name
  To create, manage, and maintain registers of ISBN, ISBN metadata, and administrative
data in accordance with the policies set out by the International ISBN Agency. (Tasks
involving ISBN metadata may be delegated to a designated bibliographic agency
provided that compliance is made with these specifications)
  To correct inaccurate ISBNs and ISBN metadata if proof of such inaccuracy is provided
  To make ISBN and associated metadata available to other registration agencies and to
users of the ISBN system in compliance with policies set out by the International ISBN
Agency
  To collate and maintain statistical data on its ISBN related operations and report these
at the stipulated intervals to the International ISBN Agency
  To promote, educate, and train others in the use of the ISBN system in compliance
with the specifications of the applicable edition of the ISBN standard in force at the
time
  To adhere to the ISBN policies and procedures established by the International ISBN
Agency in compliance with the specifications of the applicable edition of the ISBN
standard in force at the time
9.4 Publisher administration

publish and for ensuring the application of pertinent regulations. 
They may apply for and receive a registrant element from an ISBN registration agency
together with a printout or electronic file of the individual ISBNs that are available to them
