**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The Copyright Royalty Judges (‘‘Judges’’) received a joint motion from SoundExchange, Inc. and Sirius XM Radio Inc. to adopt a settlement of their interests regarding royalty rates and terms for 2016–2020 applicable to music services available on cable and satellite television. Sirius XM Radio is a creator of music programming for DiSH satellite television. SoundExchange, Inc. represents the interests of sound recording copyright owners. SoundExchange and Sirius XM Radio propose regulatory language that, in part, simplifies the existing rate structure found in 37 CFR part 383. The Judges hereby publish the proposed revision to the regulation and request comments from the public. Background

Section 114(f)(2)(A) of the Copyright Act, title 17 of the United States Code, provides that, prior to the expiration of a rate term, the Judges shall commence a proceeding to determine reasonable royalty terms and rates for a new subscription service (i.e., a subscription service that was established after July 1, 1998, or is using a different transmission medium from what it used prior to July 1, 1998) on which sound recordings are performed. 17 U.S.C. 114(f)(2)(A). Section 112(e)(3) provides for proceedings to be commenced to determine rates and terms for licenses to make ephemeral reproductions to facilitate certain digital audio transmissions including those made by new subscription services. 17 U.S.C. 112(e)(3). The Judges have conducted two prior proceedings for five-year rate terms pursuant to these provisions. See 72 FR 72253 (December 20, 2007) and 75 FR 14074 (March 24, 2010). The current rate term ends December 31,
2015.

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 2016–2020 for the new subscription services defined in 37 CFR 383.2(h) and requesting interested parties to submit petitions to participate. See 79 FR 410 (January 3,


### 2066 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 10 / Thursday, January 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules

1 The Judges struck the petitions of two of the other parties, and another party withdrew its petition. Joint Motion to Adopt Settlement at 2. 2014). Petitions to Participate in this proceeding were received from Music Reports, Inc., National Music Publishers Association, Sirius XM Radio Inc. (‘‘Sirius XM’’), Spotify USA Inc., and SoundExchange, Inc.

The Judges announced the threemonth negotiation period, see 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(3), and directed the participants to submit their written direct statements no later than December 1, 2014. On December 1, 2014, the remaining participants 1 filed a motion asking the Judges to stay the filing of written direct statements in light of the parties’ impending settlement. The Judges granted the motion and extended the deadline for filing written direct statements to December 12, 2014. See Order Granting Extension of Time for Filing Written Direct Statements, Docket No. 14–CRB–0002–NSR (2016–2020). On December 12, 2014, SoundExchange and Sirius XM filed the settlement that is the subject of this notice.

Section 801(b)(7)(A) authorizes the Judges to adopt rates and terms negotiated by ‘‘some or all of the participants in a proceeding at any time during the proceeding’’ provided the settling parties submit the negotiated rates and terms to the Judges for approval. This section provides that in such event:

(i) 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

(ii) 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 the Judges adopt pursuant to this provision are binding on all sound recording copyright owners and all new subscription services performing the licensed sound recordings on digital audio channels transmitted by a cable or satellite television distribution service to residential customers, bundled with television channels as part of a ‘‘basic’’ service subscription package and not available separately for a separate fee. See 37 CFR 383.2(h).

The public may comment and object to any or all of the proposed regulations contained in this notice. Comments and objections must be submitted no later than February 17, 2015.
