LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Copyright Office 

[Docket No. 2004–2 CARP] 

Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels; 

List of Arbitrators

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of 

Congress.

ACTION: Publication of the 2004–2005 

CARP arbitrator list. 

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is 

publishing the list of arbitrators eligible 

for service on a Copyright Arbitration 

Royalty Panel (‘‘CARP’’) during 2004 

and 2005. This list will be used to select 

the arbitrators who will serve on panels 

initiated in 2004 and 2005 for 

determining the distribution of royalty 

fees or the adjustment of royalty rates.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Susan N. Grimes, P.O. Box 70977, 

Southwest Station, Washington, DC 

20024. Telephone: (202) 707–8380.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

For royalty rate adjustments and 

distributions that are in controversy, the 

Copyright Act requires the selection of 

a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel 

(‘‘CARP’’) consisting of three arbitrators 

from ‘‘lists provided by professional 

arbitration associations.’’ See 17 U.S.C. 

802(b). The Librarian of Congress selects 

two of the arbitrators for a CARP from 

a list of nominated arbitrators; those 

selected then choose a third arbitrator to 

serve as chairperson of the panel. If the 

two arbitrators cannot agree, the 

Librarian is instructed to select the third 

arbitrator. 

On December 7, 1994, the Copyright 

Office issued final regulations 

implementing the CARP selection

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2004 / Notices 5371

1Hand deliveries made by commercial couriers 

and messengers may no longer be made directly to

Continued

process. 59 FR 63025 (December 7, 

1994). Subsequently, these rules were 

amended to provide for the generation 

of a new list of nominees biennially. 61 

FR 63715 (December 2, 1996). Section 

251.3(a) of the regulations allows any 

professional arbitration association or 

organization to nominate qualified 

individuals, as described in § 251.5, to 

serve as arbitrators on a CARP. The 

regulations require that the submitting 

arbitration association supply the 

following information for each person: 

(1) The full name, address, and 

telephone number of the person. 

(2) The current position and name of 

the person’s employer, if any, along 

with a brief summary of the person’s 

employment history, including areas of 

expertise, and, if available, a description 

of the general nature of clients 

represented and the types of 

proceedings in which the person 

represented clients. 

(3) A brief description of the 

educational background of the person, 

including teaching positions and 

membership in professional 

associations, if any. 

(4) A statement of the facts and 

information which qualify the person to 

serve as an arbitrator under § 251.5. 

(5) A description or schedule 

detailing fees proposed to be charged by 

the person for service on a CARP. 

(6) Any other information which the 

professional arbitration association or 

organization may consider relevant. 37 

CFR 251.3(a). 

Section 251.3(b) of the regulations 

requires the Copyright Office to publish 

a list of qualified persons and mandates 

that this list must include between 30 

and 75 names of persons who were 

nominated from at least three arbitration 

associations. The newly comprised list 

of arbitrators will be in effect until the 

end of the 2005 calendar year, and any 

arbitrator selected for a CARP during 

2004 and 2005 will come from this list. 

The list includes the name of the 

nominee and the nominating 

association. 

The publication of today’s list 

satisfies the requirement of 37 CFR 

251.3. The information submitted by the 

arbitration association with respect to 

each person listed is available for 

copying and inspection at the Licensing 

Division of the Copyright Office. Thus, 

for example, if the Librarian is required 

to convene a CARP in 2004 for a royalty 

fee distribution, parties to that 

proceeding may review that information 

as a means of formulating objections to 

listed arbitrators under § 251.4. The 

Licensing Division of the Copyright 

Office is located in the Library of 

Congress, James Madison Building, LM–

458, 101 Independence Avenue, SE., 

Washington, DC 20540. 

Deadline for Filing Financial Disclosure 

Statement 

Section 251.32(a) of the CARP rules 

provides that, within 45 days of their 

nomination, each nominee must ‘‘file 

with the Librarian of Congress a 

confidential financial disclosure 

statement as provided by the Library of 

Congress.’’ The Copyright Office sent 

financial disclosure statements to the 

nominating associations, with specific 

instructions for completing and filing 

the statement, and asked each 

organization to distribute the forms to 

its nominees for the CARP arbitrator list. 

The Librarian of Congress will use the 

financial disclosure form to determine 

what financial conflicts of interest, if 

any, may preclude the nominee from 

serving as an arbitrator in a CARP 

proceeding. Unlike information 

submitted by the arbitration associations 

under § 251.3(a), the information 

contained in the financial disclosure 

statements is confidential and is not 

available to the public or to the parties 

to the proceeding. Each nominee has 

filed a completed financial disclosure 

form with the Librarian of Congress.
