ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(Department), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA 95) [44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Currently, ETA is soliciting comments 

concerning the extension of data 

collection on its Guam Military Base 

Realignment Contractors Recruitment 

Standards, which expire April 30, 2012. 

This information collection follows an 

emergency review that was conducted 

in accordance with the PRA 95 and 5 

CFR 1320.13. The submission for Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

emergency review was approved on 

October 19, 2011. A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

can be obtained either by: (1) Accessing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 2834(a) of the National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 

Fiscal Year 2010 (Pub. L. 111–84, 

enacted October 28, 2009) amended 

Section 2824(c) of the Military 

Construction Authorization Act (Pub. L. 

110–417, Division B) by adding a new 

subsection (6). This provision prohibits 

contractors engaged in construction 

projects related to the realignment of 

U.S. military forces from Okinawa to 

Guam from hiring non-U.S. workers 

unless the Governor of Guam 

(Governor), in consultation with the 

U.S. Secretary of Labor (Secretary), 

certifies that (1) there is an insufficient 

number of U.S. workers that are able, 

willing, and qualified to perform the 

work; and (2) that the employment of 

non-U.S. workers will not have an 

adverse effect on either the wages or the 

working conditions of U.S. construction 

workers in Guam. 

In order to allow the Governor to 

make this certification, the NDAA 

requires contractors to recruit workers 

in the United States, including in Guam, 

the Northern Mariana Islands, American 

Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 

Puerto Rico, according to the terms of 

recruitment standards developed and 

approved by the Secretary. The 

recruitment standards have been 

reproduced in full below. 

Although the Department has 

developed the recruitment standards, it 

has assigned oversight of the contractor 

recruitment standards and the NDAArequired consultation with the Governor 

to the Guam Department of Labor 

(GDOL) through a Memorandum of 

Understanding between the U.S. 

Department of Labor and GDOL, 

effective November 22, 2011. 

I. Guam Military Base Realignment 

Contractors Recruitment Standards 

Guam military base realignment 

contractors must take the following 

actions to recruit U.S. workers. 

1. At least 60 days before the start 

date of workers under a base 

realignment contract, contractors must: 

(a) Submit a job posting with GDOL 

at http://dol.guam.gov/index.php?

option=com_jobline&Itemid=0&task

=add, or by submitting a completed Job

Guam Employment Service office. The 

job posting must be posted on the GDOL 

Job Bank for at least 21 consecutive 

days; 

(b) Submit a job posting with the state 

workforce agency’s Internet job bank in 

American Samoa at www.usworks.com/

and in the following states: 

i. Alaska (www.jobs.state.ak.us); 

ii. California (www.caljobs.ca.gov); 

iii. Hawaii (www.hirenethawaii.com); 

iv. Oregon (www.emp.state.or.us/

fortress.wa.gov/esd/worksource/ 

Employment.aspx). 

The job posting must be posted for at 

least 21 consecutive days. If for any 

reason the Internet job bank in 

American Samoa is not available, the 

contractor must place an advertisement 

on two Sundays in a newspaper that: (1) 

Is of general circulation in the territory; 

(2) has a reasonable distribution and is 

appropriate to the occupation; and (3) is 

likely to be seen by workers interested 

in applying for construction 

employment. 

(c) Submit a job posting with an 

Internet-based job bank that is: 

i. National in scope, including the 

entire United States, Guam, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, American Samoa, the Virgin 

Islands, and the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico; 

ii. Allows job postings for all 

occupations; and 

iii. Is free of charge for job seekers and 

their intermediaries in One-Stop Career 

Centers and the employment service 

delivery system nationwide. 

(d) Where the occupation or industry 

is customarily unionized, contact the 

local union in Guam in writing to seek 

U.S. workers who are qualified and who 

will be available for the job opportunity. 

The postings are separate and distinct 

requirements—i.e., a posting under 

Section 1(b) cannot be used to satisfy 

the posting requirement under Section 

1(c).

3. During the 28-day recruitment 

period, which begins on the earliest date 

of posting, contractors must interview 

all qualified and available Guam and 

U.S. construction workers who have 

applied for the employment

II. USDOL Recruitment Support 

Activities 

Separate from the contractor 

recruitment standards, ETA will 

facilitate a nationwide outreach and 

recruitment effort to maximize hiring of 

U.S. construction workers, including 

outreach to its workforce investment 

system. ETA will do the following: 

• Develop and issue a Training and 

Employment Notice (TEN), and hold an 

Internet-based training session 

(‘‘Webinar’’) to inform contractors, state 

workforce agencies, state and local 

workforce investment boards, and OneStop Career Centers of the anticipated 

construction employment opportunities 

on Guam and how these opportunities 

will be posted [interested individuals 

can automatically receive notice of the 

TEN by going to http://wdr.doleta.gov/ 

directives and clicking on the last bullet, 

stating ‘‘To be added to the ETA 

Advisory electronic distribution list— 

click here,’’ and interested individuals 

can automatically receive notice of the 

Webinar by registering for ETA’s 

Workforce3One by going to https:// 

www.workforce3one.org/register.aspx, 

then going to the fourth category 

(Newsletters and Updates) and checking 

the box for ‘‘Webinars/Live Events,’’ and 

should also check both boxes under 

‘‘Reemployment Works’’ in the 

preceding category (labeled ‘‘Join 

Communities’’)]; 

• Develop telephone scripts for a 

Toll-Free Help Line directing job 

seekers to the GDOL job bank; 

• Ensure that Departmental offices— 

including the Office of Unemployment 

Insurance, the Office of Apprenticeship, 

the Office of Job Corps, the Veterans’ 

Employment and Training Service, and 

the YouthBuild program—are informed 

of the construction employment 

opportunities; and 

• Brief pertinent inter-governmental 

and labor organizations (including the 

National Governors Association, 

National Conference of State 

Legislatures, and building trades 

unions) so that they can assist in 

spreading information about the U.S. 

worker outreach effort. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department is particularly 

interested in comments which 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

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 a notice of 

intent to audit the 2008 statements of 

account submitted by Lastfm, Ltd., 

concerning the royalty payments made 

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 Codes, 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 and distributing the royalties to 

the copyright owners and performers 

entitled to receive such royalties under 

the section 112 and 114 licenses. 37 

CFR 380.13(b)(1). 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 380.15(c). 

On December 23, 2011, pursuant to 

§ 380.15(c), SoundExchange filed with 

the Judges a notice of intent to audit 

Last.fm, Ltd., for the year 2008. Section 

380.15(c) requires 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 § 380.15(c), the 

Copyright Royalty Judges are publishing 

today’s notice to fulfill this requirement 

with respect to SoundExchange’s notice 

of intent to audit Last.fm, Ltd. filed 

December 23, 2011. 

Dated: January 12, 2012.
