Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 26, 2018 / Notices 66313 

Subfund (60%) and the Featured 

Recording Artists Subfund (40%), after 

small portions are distributed to 

nonfeatured musicians and nonfeatured 

vocalists. 17 U.S.C. 1006(b)(1). 

Distribution of the fees in the two 

subfunds may occur in one of two ways. 

The interested copyright parties within 

each subfund may negotiate the terms of 

a settlement as to the division of royalty 

funds. If, after any such agreements, 

funds remain in dispute, the Copyright 

Royalty Judges may conduct a 

proceeding to determine the distribution 

of the royalties that remain in 

controversy in each subfund. 17 U.S.C. 

1006(c) & 1007(c). 

The Judges have distributed 100% of 

the royalties for the Featured Recording 

Artists Subfund of the 2008 Sound 

Recordings Fund. Distribution Order, 

Docket No. 2009–3 CRB DD 2008 (June 

24, 2009). However, the Judges have 

ordered only partial distributions of the 

2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 (from 

both the Copyright Owners Subfund and 

the Featured Recording Artists Subfund) 

because the interested copyright parties 

have not settled their disputes over 

remaining amounts. See, e.g., Order 

Granting AARC’s Request for Partial 

Distribution of 2011 DART Sound 

Recordings Funds; Docket No. 2012–3 

CRB DD 2011 (Sept. 20, 2012); Order 

Granting in Part AARC’s Supplemental 

Request for Partial Distribution of 2007, 

2008 and 2009 DART Sound Recordings 

Fund Royalties, Docket Nos. 2008–3 

CRB DD 2007, 2009–3 CRB DD 2008; 

and 2010–5 CRB DD 2009 (March 8, 

2012); Order Granting AARC’s Request 

for Partial Distribution of 2010 DART 

Sound Recordings Funds, Docket No. 

2011–6 CRB DD 2010 (Nov. 17, 2011); 

Order Granting AARC’s Request for 

Partial Distribution of 2008 DART 

Sound Recordings Fund/Copyright 

Owners Subfund Royalties; Docket No. 

2009–3 CRB DD 2008 (Aug. 19, 2009); 

Distribution Order, Docket No. 2008–3 

CRB DD 2007 (Oct. 14, 2008). 

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(8), 

the Judges determine that, for the 

reasons stated above, a controversy 

exists with respect to the distribution of 

the 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011 DART 

Sound Recordings Fund royalties from 

the Copyright Owners Subfund and the 

Featured Recording Artists Subfund 

and, with respect to 2008, from the 

Copyright Owners Subfund. 

Commencement of Proceeding 

By this notice, the Judges announce 

the commencement of a proceeding to 

determine the final distribution of 

DART Sound Recordings Funds (from 

both the Copyright Owners Subfund and 

the Featured Recording Artists Subfund) 

for royalty years 2007, 2009, 2010, and 

2011, and from the Copyright Owners 

Subfund for 2008. 

Petitions To Participate 

Petitions to Participate must provide 

all of the information required by 37 

CFR 351.1(b)(2). Participants also must 

identify by year each subfund in the 

Sound Recordings Fund to which they 

are asserting a claim (i.e., Copyright 

Owners, Featured Recording Artists, or 

both). 

Petitions to Participate submitted by 

interested parties whose claims do not 

exceed $1,000 must contain a statement 

that the party will not seek a 

distribution of more than $1,000. 37 

CFR 351.1(b)(4). No filing fee is required 

for such parties. Interested parties with 

claims exceeding $1,000, however, must 

submit a filing fee of $150 with their 

respective Petitions to Participate, or the 

petition will be rejected. CASH WILL 

NOT BE ACCEPTED. Parties filing 

online through eCRB must pay by credit 

card. Any party without access to the 

internet must pay the filing fee with a 

check or money order made payable to 

the ‘‘Copyright Royalty Board’’ and 

mailed or delivered with a paper claim 

form, as described in the ‘‘Addresses’’ 

section above. If a check is returned for 

lack of sufficient funds, the 

corresponding Petition to Participate 

will be dismissed. 

Any participant that is an individual 

may represent herself or himself. All 

other participants must be represented 

by counsel. In accordance with 37 CFR 

350.2 (Representation), only attorneys 

who are members of the bar in one or 

more states or the District of Columbia 

and in good standing will be allowed to 

represent parties before the Copyright 

Royalty Judges. The Judges will address 

further procedural matters, including 

scheduling, after Petitions to Participate 

have been filed. 

Intention To Conduct a Paper 

Proceeding 

In accordance with Section 

803(b)(5)(B) of the Copyright Act, the 

Judges find it appropriate to conduct a 

paper proceeding in this matter in light 

of the relatively modest amount of 

royalties in dispute after previously 

approved partial distributions and the 

anticipated small number of nonsettling claimants. In paper proceedings, 

the Judges enter an order scheduling the 

filing of a written direct statement by 

each participant, a response of an 

opposing participant, and one 

additional response from the 

participant. 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(5). The 

Judges make their determination on the 

basis of these filings. Any party wishing 

to comment on the Judges’ intention to 

conduct a paper proceeding should 

include such comments in its Petition to 

Participate.

Chief U.S. Copyright Royalty Judge.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction 

The NRC has received, by letter dated 

July 10, 2018, an application from PG&E 

for renewal of SNM License No. SNM– 

2514 for the Humboldt Bay ISFSI for an 

additional 40 years (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML18215A202). The license 

currently authorizes PG&E to receive, 

possess, transfer, and store spent fuel 

and Greater Than Class C Waste (GTCC) 

from HBNPP in the Humboldt Bay 

ISFSI, located at the HBNPP site in 

Humboldt County, California until the 

license term expires on November 17, 

2025. This license renewal, if approved, 

would authorize PG&E to continue to 

store spent fuel and GTCC Waste at the 

Humboldt Bay ISFSI for an additional 

40 years beyond its initial expiration, 

under the provisions of part 72 of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR), ‘‘Licensing Requirements for 

the Independent Storage of Spent 

Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive 

Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater 

Than Class C Waste.’’ 

Following an NRC administrative 

completeness review, documented in a 

letter to PG&E dated November 14, 2018 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML18319A147), 

the NRC staff has determined that the 

renewal application contains sufficient 

information for the NRC staff to begin its 

technical review and is acceptable for 

docketing. The application has been 

docketed in Docket No. 72–27, the 

existing docket for SNM License No. 

SNM–2514. If the NRC approves the 

renewal application, the approval will 

be documented in the renewal of SNM 

License No. SNM–2514. The NRC will 

approve the license renewal application 

if it determines that the application 

meets the standards and requirements of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended (the Act), and the NRC’s 

regulations. These findings will be 

documented in a safety evaluation 

report. The NRC will complete an 

environmental evaluation, in 

accordance with 10 CFR part 51, to 

determine if the preparation of an 

environmental impact statement is 

warranted or if an environmental 

assessment and finding of no significant 

impact are appropriate. This action will 

be the subject of a subsequent notice in 

the Federal Register. 

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any persons 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult a current copy 

of 10 CFR part 2. The NRC’s regulations 

are accessible electronically from the 

NRC Library on the NRC’s website at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. A copy of the 

regulations is available at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room, located at One 

White Flint North, Room O1–F21, 11555 

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 

Maryland 20852. If a petition is filed, 

the Commission or a presiding officer 

will rule on the petition and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d), the 

petition should specifically explain the 

reasons why intervention should be 

permitted with particular reference to 

the following general requirements for 

standing: (1) The name, address, and 

telephone number of the petitioner; (2) 

the nature of the petitioner’s right under 

the Act to be made a party to the 

proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of 

the petitioner’s property, financial, or 

other interest in the proceeding; and (4) 

the possible effect of any decision or 

order that may be entered in the 

proceeding on the petitioner’s interest. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), 

the petition must also set forth the 

specific contentions which the 

petitioner seeks to have litigated in the 

proceeding. Each contention must 

consist of a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted. In addition, the petitioner 

must provide a brief explanation of the 

bases for the contention and a concise
