This baffles me, since the 1978 rewrite of the U.S. Copyright law
automatically extended the term for works which were then in their
first or second copyright term to be a total of 75 years. so anything
copyrighted after 1964 was still in its first copyright term and was
thus automatically extended.
Based upon my experience, I interpret the 1992 as a misprint or typo. My
recollection is that the automatic renewal was actually made part of US
copyright law in 1962, taking effect for music which renewed in 1964.
