transportation and, where required, 

lodging must be no less than (and is not 

required to be more than) the most 

economical and reasonable costs. The 

employer is responsible for those costs 

necessary for the worker to travel to the 

worksite if the worker completes 50 

percent of the work contract period, but 

is not responsible for unauthorized 

detours, and if the worker completes the 

contract, return transportation and 

subsistence costs, including lodging 

costs where necessary. This policy 

applies equally to instances where the 

worker is traveling within the U.S. to 

the employer’s worksite. For further 

information on when the employer is 

responsible for lodging costs, see the 

FAQ on travel costs at the OFLC Web 

site at http://

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 

Copyright Royalty Board 

Notice of Intent To Audit 

AGENCY: Copyright Royalty Board, 

Library of Congress. 

ACTION: Public notice. 

SUMMARY: The Copyright Royalty Judges 

are announcing receipt of two notices of 

intent to audit the 2009, 2010, and 2011 

statements of account submitted by 

Digitally Imported, Inc., and Beasley 

Broadcast Group, Inc., concerning the 

royalty payments made by each 

pursuant to two statutory licenses. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

LaKeshia Keys, Program Specialist, by 

telephone at (202) 707–7658 or email at 

crb@loc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Copyright Act, title 17 of the United 

States Code, grants to copyright owners 

of sound recordings the exclusive right 

to perform publicly sound recordings by 

means of certain digital audio 

transmissions, subject to certain 

limitations. Specifically, this right is 

limited by two statutory licenses. The 

section 114 license allows the public 

performance of sound recordings by 

means of digital audio transmissions by 

nonexempt noninteractive digital 

subscription services and eligible 

nonsubscription services. 17 U.S.C. 

114(f). The second license allows a 

service to make any necessary 

ephemeral reproductions to facilitate 

the digital transmission of the sound 

recording. 17 U.S.C. 112(e). 

Licensees may operate under these 

licenses provided they pay the royalty 

fees and comply with the terms set by 

the Copyright Royalty Judges. The rates 

and terms for the section 112 and 114 

licenses are set forth in 37 CFR part 380. 

As part of the terms set for these 

licenses, the Judges designated 

SoundExchange, Inc., as the 

organization charged with collecting the 

royalty payments and statements of 

account submitted by eligible 

nonsubscription services such as, 

among others, Commercial Webcasters 

and Broadcasters, and distributing the 

royalties to the copyright owners and 

performers entitled to receive such 

royalties under the section 112 and 114 

licenses. 37 CFR 380.4(b)(1) 

(Commercial Webcasters), 380.13(b)(1) 

(Broadcasters). As the designated 

Collective, SoundExchange may 

conduct a single audit of a licensee for 

any calendar year for the purpose of 

verifying their royalty payments. 

SoundExchange must first file with the 

Judges a notice of intent to audit a 

licensee and serve the notice on the 

licensee to be audited. 37 CFR 380.6(c), 

380.15(c). 

On February 15, 2012, 

SoundExchange filed with the Judges 

separate notices of intent to audit 

Digitally Imported, Inc., a Commercial 

Webcaster, and Beasley Broadcast 

Group, Inc., a Broadcaster, for the years 

2009, 2010, and 2011. Sections 380.6(c) 

and 380.15(c) require the Judges to 

publish a notice in the Federal Register 

within 30 days of receipt of the notice 

announcing the Collective’s intent to 

conduct an audit. 

In accordance with §§ 380.6(c) and 

380.15(c), the Copyright Royalty Judges 

are publishing today’s notice to fulfill 

this requirement with respect to 

SoundExchange’s respective notices of 

intent to audit Digitally Imported, Inc., 

and Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., each 

filed February 15, 2012. 

Dated: February 28, 2012.
