Have you read the document "Mandatory Deposit of Copies or Phonorecords for the Library of Congress", issued by the US Copright Office, Steve? I posted a link to it in post #2 of this thread. It seems to me to say that mandatory deposit is a requirement for all published works, not just those for which copyright has been registered, although I may of course be misinterpreting it.
