**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

Section 114(f)(2)(C) of the Copyright Act, title 17 of the United States Code, allows a new type of eligible nonsubscription service or a new subscription service on which sound recordings are performed that is or is about to become operational to file a petition with the Copyright Royalty Judges ( ‘‘Judges ’’ ) for the purpose of determining reasonable terms and rates. 17 U.S.C. 114(f)(2)(C). Section 112(e) allows the making of ephemeral reproductions for the purpose of facilitating certain digital audio transmissions, including those made by new subscription services. 17 U.S.C. 112(e). Upon receipt of a petition filed pursuant to section 114(f)(2)(C), the Judges are required to commence a proceeding to determine said reasonable terms and rates. 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(3)(C)(ii). The Judges have conducted one proceeding pursuant to these provisions. See 70 FR 72471, 72472 (December 5, 2005) (after receipt of petition, commencing proceeding to determine rates and terms for a new type of subscription service that

‘‘performs sound recordings on digital audio channels programmed by the licensee for transmission by a satellite television distribution service to its residential customers, where the audio channels are bundled with television channels as part of a ‘basic’ package of service and not for a separate fee ’’ ). The parties to that proceeding ultimately reached an agreement on the rates and


### 3667 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 14 / Friday, January 22, 2010 / Proposed Rules

1 The new subscription service is defined at 37 CFR 383.2(h).

2 SoundExchange and Sirius XM also moved that the Judges stay further proceedings until the settlement process under 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(7)(A) has been completed. They noted that RLI, the only other participant to the proceeding, joins in the request for stay. The Judges granted the motion. See Order on Joint Motion to Stay, Docket No. 2009–2 CRB New Subscription II (October 28, 2009). terms for the new subscription service at issue; and the Judges, after public comment, adopted the settlement as final regulations. 1 See 72 FR 72253 (December 20, 2007). The current rates expire on December 31, 2010.

Pursuant to section 803(b)(1)(A)(i)(III) of the Copyright Act, the Judges, published in the Federal Register a notice commencing the rate determination proceeding for the license period 2011–2015 for the new subscription service defined in § 383.2(h) and requesting interested parties to submit their petitions to participate. See 74 FR 319 (January 5, 2009). Petitions to Participate in this proceeding were received from SoundExchange, Inc.; Royalty Logic, LLC ( ‘‘RLI’’ ); and Sirius XM Radio Inc. ( ‘‘ Sirius XM’’ ).

The Judges set the timetable for the three-month negotiation period, see 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(3), and directed the participants to submit their written direct statements no later than September 29, 2009. On September 22, 2009, the Judges received a joint motion from all parties to stay the filing of the written direct statements in light of the parties reaching a settlement which they intended to submit to the Judges for adoption. On September 23, 2009, the Judges issued an order extending the deadline for the filing of written direct statements to October 29, 2009. See Order on Extending Deadline to File Written Direct Statements, Docket No. 2009–2 CRB New Subscription II (September 23, 2009). SoundExchange and Sirius XM submitted the settlement to the Judges on October 21, 2009. 2

Section 801(b)(7)(A) allows for the adoption of rates and terms negotiated by ‘‘ some or all of the participants in a proceeding at any time during the proceeding’’ provided they are submitted to the Copyright Royalty Judges for approval. This section provides that in such event:

• The Copyright Royalty Judges shall provide to those that would be bound by the terms, rates, or other determination set by any agreement in a proceeding to determine royalty rates an opportunity to comment on the agreement and shall provide to participants in the proceeding under section 803(b)(2) that would be bound by the terms, rates, or other determination set by the agreement an opportunity to comment on the agreement and object to its adoption as a basis for statutory terms and rates; and

• The Copyright Royalty Judges may decline to adopt the agreement as a basis for statutory terms and rates for participants that are not parties to the agreement, if any participant described in clause (i) objects to the agreement and the Copyright Royalty Judges conclude, based on the record before them if one exists, that the agreement does not provide a reasonable basis for setting statutory terms or rates. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(7)(A). Rates and terms adopted pursuant to this provision are binding on all copyright owners of sound recordings and new subscription services performing the sound recordings on digital audio channels programmed by the licensee for transmission by a cable or satellite television distribution service to its residential customers where the audio channels are bundled with television channels as part of a ‘‘basic ’’ package of service and not for a separate fee. See 37 CFR 383.2(h).

As noted above, the public may comment and object to any or all of the proposed regulations contained in this notice of proposed rulemaking. Such comments and objections must be submitted no later than February 22,
2010. List of Subjects in 37 CFR Part 383
