Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 3 / Wednesday, January 5, 2011 / Notices 591 

1The prior proceeding was captioned as ‘‘DSTRA’’ 

(which stands for ‘‘Digital Subscription 

Transmissions Rate Adjustment’’). Hereinafter, this 

and future proceedings will be captioned as ‘‘PSS/ 

Satellite’’ (to reflect both preexisting subscription 

services (‘‘PSS’’) and satellite digital audio radio 

services (‘‘Satellite)) followed by the appropriate 

Roman numeral. 

January 26, 2009, the Judges announced 

the royalty rates and terms for the 

section 115 compulsory license. 74 FR 

4510 (January 26, 2009). Thus, in 

accordance with section 804(b)(4), a 

party may file a petition in 2011. 

However, no petition has been filed; 

consequently, section 803(b)(1)(A)(i)(V) 

requires the Judges to publish in the 

Federal Register by no later than 

January 5, 2011, a notice commencing 

this proceeding. Today’s notice fulfills 

this requirement. 

Petitions to Participate 

Petitions to Participate must be filed 

in accordance with § 351.1(b) of the 

Judges’ regulations. See 37 CFR 

351.1(b). Petitions to Participate must be 

accompanied by the $150 filing fee. 

Cash will not be accepted; therefore, 

parties must pay the filing fee with a 

check or money order made payable to 

the ‘‘Copyright Royalty Board.’’ If a 

check received in payment of the filing 

fee is returned for lack of sufficient 

funds, the corresponding Petition to 

Participate will be dismissed. 

Note that in accordance with 37 CFR 

350.2 (Representation), only attorneys 

who are members of the bar in one or 

more states and in good standing will be 

allowed to represent parties before the 

Copyright Royalty Judges, unless a party 

is an individual who represents herself 

or himself.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 804(b)(6) of the Copyright 

Act, title 17 of the United States Code, 

allows a party to file with the Copyright 

Royalty Judges a petition to initiate a 

proceeding to determine reasonable 

rates and terms for the use of certain 

copyrighted works in connection with 

noncommercial television and radio 

broadcasting under 17 U.S.C. 118 every 

five years, starting in the year 2006. A 

proceeding was commenced in 2006, 71 

FR 1453 (January 9, 2006); on November 

30, 2007, the Judges announced the 

royalty rates and terms for the section 

118 compulsory license for the period 

January 1, 2008, through December 31, 

2012. 72 FR 67646 (November 30, 2007). 

Thus, in accordance with section 

804(b)(6), a party may file a petition in 

2011. However, no petition has been 

filed; consequently, section 

803(b)(1)(A)(i)(V) requires the Judges to 

publish in the Federal Register by no 

later than January 5, 2011, a notice 

commencing the proceeding for the 

license period 2013–2017. Today’s 

notice fulfills this requirement. 

Petitions To Participate 

Petitions to Participate must be filed 

in accordance with § 351.1(b) of the 

Judges’ regulations. See 37 CFR 

351.1(b). Petitions to Participate must be 

accompanied by the $150 filing fee. 

Cash will not be accepted; therefore,

check received in payment of the filing 

fee is returned for lack of sufficient 

funds, the corresponding Petition to 

Participate will be dismissed. 

Note that in accordance with 37 CFR 

350.2 (Representation), only attorneys 

who are members of the bar in one or 

more states and in good standing will be

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On December 28, 2010, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

intends to enter into an additional 

Global Reseller Expedited Package 

(GREP) contract.1 The Postal Service 

noted that: 

Although both parties have yet to sign the 

agreement filed in this docket, the course of 

negotiations and the timing of this filing in 

relation to other filings have led the Postal 

Service to submit the agreement in its present 

state. The agreement is expected to be 

executed soon. The Postal Service will 

supplement this filing once the agreement is 

executed, and will advise of any substantive 

changes to the text. 

Notice at 1 n.2. The Postal Service filed 

the executed contract on December 29, 

2010.2 The Postal Service believes that 

the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to the previously submitted 

GREP contract, and is supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 10–1, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2010–36. Id. at 1, 

Attachment 3. The Notice explains that 

Order No. 445, which established GREP 

Contracts 1 as a product, also authorized 

functionally equivalent agreements to be 

included within the product, provided 

that they meet the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1–2. Additionally, the 

Postal Service requested to have the 

contract in Docket No. CP2010–36 serve 

as the baseline contract for future 

functional equivalence analyses of the 

GREP Contracts 1 product. 

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed a draft contract in this case
