SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Copyright Act grants to sound 

recordings copyright owners the 

exclusive right to publicly perform 

sound recordings by means of certain 

digital audio transmissions, subject to 

limitations. Specifically, the right is 

limited by the statutory license in 

section 114, which allows nonexempt 

noninteractive digital subscription 

services, eligible nonsubscription 

services, and preexisting satellite digital 

audio radio services to perform publicly 

sound recordings by means of digital 

audio transmissions. 17 U.S.C. 114(f). In 

addition, a statutory license in section 

112 allows a service to make necessary 

ephemeral reproductions to facilitate 

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 codified in 37 CFR parts 

380 and 382–84. 

As one of the terms for these licenses, 

the Judges designated SoundExchange, 

Inc., (SoundExchange) as the Collective, 

i.e., the organization charged with 

collecting the royalty payments and 

statements of account submitted by 

licensees, including those that operate 

commercial and noncommercial 

webcaster services, preexisting satellite 

digital audio radio services, new 

subscription services, and those that 

make ephemeral copies for transmission 

to business establishments. The 

Collective is also charged with 

distributing the royalties to the 

copyright owners and performers 

entitled to receive them under the 

section 112 and 114 licenses. See 37 

CFR 380.4(d)(1), 382.5(d)(1), 383.4(a), 

384.4(b)(1). 

As the Collective, SoundExchange 

may, only once a year, conduct an audit 

of a licensee for any or all of the prior 

three calendar years to verify royalty 

payments. SoundExchange must first 

file with the Judges a notice of intent to 

audit a licensee and deliver the notice 

to the licensee. See 37 CFR 380.6(b), 

382.7(b), 383.4(a) and 384.6(b). 

On December 22, 2023, 

SoundExchange filed with the Judges 

notices of intent to audit the statements 

of account submitted by commercial 

webcasters Cumulus Media, Spanish 

Broadcasting, Stephens Media Group,

within 30 days of receipt of a notice

NASA collects information from grant

institutions holding NASA grants. In 

addition to the annual report, a property 

report may also be required at the end 

of the grant, or on the occurrence of 

certain events. The collected 

information is used by NASA to 

effectively maintain an appropriate 

internal control system for equipment 

and property provided or acquired 

under grants and cooperative 

agreements with institutions of higher 

education and other nonprofit 

organizations, and to comply with 

statutory requirements. 

II. Methods of Collection
