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, 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
2066 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 10 / Thursday, January 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

1The 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. 

How To Submit Comments 

Interested members of the public must

following addresses. If not commenting 

by email or online, commenters must
