performance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Four 

states (see Appendix) qualify to receive 

a share of the $10.2 million available for 

incentive grant awards under WIA 

section 503. These funds, which were 

contributed by the Department of 

Education from appropriations for the 

Adult Education and Family Literacy 

Act (AEFLA), are available for the 

eligible states to use through June 30, 

2013, to support innovative workforce 

development and education activities 

that are authorized under title IB 

(Workforce Investment Systems) or Title 

II (AEFLA) of WIA, or under the Carl D. 

Perkins Career and Technical Education 

Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), 20 U.S.C. 2301 

et seq., as amended by Public Law 109– 

270. In order to qualify for a grant 

award, a state must have exceeded its 

performance levels for WIA title IB and 

adult education (AEFLA). (Due to the 

lack of availability of PY 2009 

performance data under the Carl D. 

Perkins Vocational and Technical 

Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III), the 

Department of Labor and the 

Department of Education did not 

consider states’ performance levels 

under the Perkins Act in determining 

incentive grants eligibility.) The goals 

included employment after training and 

related services, retention in 

employment, and improvements in 

literacy levels, among other measures. 

After review of the performance data 

submitted by states to the Department of 

Labor and to the Department of 

Education, each Department determined 

for its program(s) which states exceeded 

their performance levels (the Appendix 

at the bottom of this notice lists the 

eligibility of each state by program). 

These lists were compared, and states 

that exceeded their performance levels 

for both programs are eligible to apply 

for and receive an incentive grant 

award. The amount that each state is 

eligible to receive was determined by 

the Department of Labor and the 

Department of Education, based on the 

provisions in WIA section 503(c) (20 

U.S.C. 9273(c)), and is proportional to 

the total funding received by these 

states for WIA Title IB and AEFLA 

programs. 

The states eligible to apply for 

incentive grant awards and the amounts 

they are eligible to receive are listed in 

the following chart: 

State Amount of 

award 

1. Arizona ............................. $3,000,000 

2. Minnesota ......................... 3,000,000 

3. North Dakota .................... 1,210,964 

4. Texas ................................ 3,000,000

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Congress has directed the U.S. 

Copyright Office to conduct a study on 

the desirability and means of bringing 

sound recordings fixed before February 

15, 1972 under Federal jurisdiction. 

Currently, such sound recordings are 

protected under a patchwork of state 

statutory and common laws from their 

date of creation until 2067. The 

legislation mandating this study states 

that it is to: 

cover the effect of federal coverage on the 

preservation of such sound recordings, the 

effect on public access to those recordings, 

and the economic impact of federal coverage 

on rights holders. The study is also to 

examine the means for accomplishing such 

coverage. 

H.R. 1105, Public Law 111–8 

[Legislative Text and Explanatory 

Statement] 1769. 

On November 3, 2010, the U.S. 

Copyright Office published a Notice of 

Inquiry seeking comments on the 

question of bringing pre-1972 sound 

recordings under Federal jurisdiction. 

75 FR 67777 (November 3, 2010). The 

notice provided background as to why 

state law protection of pre-1972 sound 

recordings has not been preempted, 

unlike state law protection of other 

kinds of potentially copyrightable 

works. It also discussed the belief of 

some in the library and archives 

community that the absence of a Federal 

protection scheme for sound recordings 

has impeded the preservation and 

public availability of these recordings. 

In an attempt to understand the various 

effects that federalizing protection for 

pre-1972 sound recordings might have, 

the notice posed 30 specific questions to 

commenters regarding preservation and 

access, economic impact, term of 

protection, constitutional 

considerations, and other aspects of 

federalization. 

The Copyright Office received 58 

comments in response to its inquiry, 

along with 231 copies of a form letter. 

The Office subsequently received 17 

reply comments. All comments, along 

with the notice of inquiry, are available 

at http://www.copyright.gov/docs/ 

sound/. The comments ran the gamut 

from general policy arguments to 

proposals for new legislative language 

and, as anticipated, illuminate a variety 

of experiences and perspectives. Some 

comments raised new legal questions, 

and others deepened the Office’s 

understanding of the number and 

variety of pre-1972 sound recordings at 

issue. The Copyright Office is holding a 

public meeting in order to permit 

interested parties to present their views 

and discuss areas of agreement and 

disagreement through a roundtable 

discussion. 

Requests for Participation 

The Office has divided up the topics 

it wishes to discuss into nine sessions— 

five on June 2, 2011 and four on June 

3, 2011—and briefly describes them 

below. These descriptions only note the 

major issues for each session and do not 

necessarily list every subject 

appropriate for discussion. 

Day 1, Session 1—Assessing the 

Landscape: What are the legal and 

cultural difficulties—as well as 

benefits—attributable to state law 

protection of pre-1972 sound 

recordings? 

Day 1, Session 2—Availability of Pre1972 Sound Recordings: What is the 

true extent of public availability of pre1972 sound recordings? In relation to 

the overall availability of such 

recordings, how significant are rightsholder reissue programs and recent 

donations to the Library of Congress? 

Day 1, Session 3—Effects of 

Federalization on Preservation, Access, 

and Value: What benefits would 

federalization have with respect to 

preservation of and public access to pre1972 sound recordings? Are those 

benefits quantifiable (i.e., in economic 

or cultural terms)? How would 

federalization affect the economic and 

cultural value of pre-1972 sound 

recordings? Are such effects 

quantifiable? 

Day 1, Session 4—Effects of 

Federalization on Ownership and 

Business Expectations: What effects 

would federalization have with respect 

to ownership status, publication status, 

contracts, termination rights, 

registration requirements, and other 

business aspects of pre-1972 sound 

recordings? To what extent would these 

results depend on the manner in which 

federalization might be effected? 

Day 1, Session 5—Effects of 

Federalization on Statutory Licensing: 

As a matter of logic, policy, and law, 

should pre-1972 sound recordings be 

eligible for the section 114 statutory 

license? Can and should they be subject 

to the section 114 statutory license if 

they are not otherwise brought into the 

Federal statutory scheme? 

Day 2, Session 1—Term of Protection: 

Assuming that copyright protection for 

pre-1972 sound recordings is 

federalized, what are the best options 

for the term of protection of federalized 

pre-1972 sound recordings? Should pre1923 recordings be considered 

separately? What about unpublished 

recordings? If federalized pre-1972 

sound recordings are given shorter 

terms than they had under state law, 

should term extensions be offered as an 

incentive to rights-holders who make 

their recordings publicly available 

within a specified period of time? 

Day 2, Session 2—Constitutional 

Considerations: Is it appropriate to grant 

Federal copyright protection to works 

already created, fixed, and in some 

cases published? Are there 

circumstances under which 

federalization of pre-1972 sound 

recordings would effect a ‘‘taking’’ under 

the Fifth Amendment? If so, how could 

this be addressed in the legislation? 

Day 2, Session 3—Alternatives to 

Federalization: What alternatives to 

federalization, if any, should be 

considered and why? 

Day 2, Session 4—Summing Up: In 

light of this public meeting and of the 

comments received, please sum up your 

views on (1) whether pre-1972 sound 

recordings should be brought within the 

protection of Federal copyright law and 

(2) in the case of federalization, what 

adaptations to existing law would be 

necessary or advisable. 

Requests to participate should be 

submitted online at http:// 

www.copyright.gov/docs/sound/. The 

online form asks for the requestor’s 

name, organization, title, postal mailing 

address, telephone number, fax number, 

and an e-mail address, although not all 

of the information is required. The 

requestor should also indicate, in order 

of preference, the sessions in which the 

requestor wishes to participate. 

Depending upon the level of interest, 

the Copyright Office may not be able to 

seat every participant in every session 

he or she requests, so it is helpful to 

know which topics are most important 

to each participant. In addition, please 

note that while an organization may 

bring multiple representatives, only one 

person per organization may participate 

in a particular session. A different 

person from the same organization may, 

of course, participate in another session. 

Requestors who have already 

submitted a comment, or who will be 

representing an organization that has 

submitted a comment, are asked to 

identify their comments on the request 

form. Requestors who have not 

submitted comments should include a 

brief summary of their views on the 

topics they wish to discuss, either 

directly on the request form or as an 

attachment. To meet accessibility 

standards, all attachments must be 

uploaded in either the Adobe Portable 

Document File (PDF) format that 

contains searchable, accessible text (not 

an image); Microsoft Word; 

WordPerfect; Rich Text Format (RTF); or
