6562 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 1997 / Notices

publishing interest for Mr. Curry as sole

representative of Tajai.

One final point raised by Mr. Curry

and Ms. Evelyn concerns the use of

SoundScan as the definitive source of

record sales data. The Report, however,

clearly indicates that the Panel did

consider evidence submitted by Mr.

Curry regarding sales through record

companies, and that after due

consideration, the Panel rejected the

evidence because he failed to provide

the universe of record sales for these

companies during the relevant time.

CARP Report, para. 40. The Panel’s

decision to reject the record sales data

submitted by Mr. Curry and rely upon

the SoundScan data was not arbitrary.

Similarly, Ms. Evelyn’s contention

that the Settling Parties failed to provide

additional data concerning additional

DART eligible songs is without merit.

The Panel carefully analyzed her direct

case and found no credible evidence of

sales or performances in the U.S. during

the relevant period, CARP Report, paras.

41–48; the Panel did credit her with

sales of musical works introduced by

the Settling Parties. CARP Report, para.

35. Furthermore, the Register notes that

the evidence presented by the Settling

Parties, and adopted by the Panel, for

record sales of Ms. Evelyn and Mr.

Curry credit them both with greater

sales than the evidence they presented

in their written direct cases, thereby

increasing the size of their respective

awards. CARP Report, para. 62 and 64.

As discussed earlier in this Order, the

Librarian’s scope of review is very

narrow. The limited scope certainly

does not extend to reconsideration of

the relative weight to be accorded

particular evidence, and the Librarian

cannot second guess a CARP’s balance

and consideration of the evidence,

unless it runs counter to the evidence

presented to it. Motor Vehicle

Manufacturers Association v. State

Farm Mutual Auto Insurance Co., 463

U.S. 29, 43 (1983).

Conclusion

For the above stated reasons, the

Register recommends that the following

should be the percentages for the

distribution of the royalties in the 1992,

1993, and 1994 Musical Works Funds:

1992 1993 1994

II. Order of the Librarian of Congress
