SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

cable systems must submit royalty 

payments to the Register of Copyrights 

as required by the statutory license set 

forth in section 111 of the Copyright Act 

for the retransmission to cable 

subscribers of over-the-air television 

and radio broadcast signals. See 17 

U.S.C. 111(d). The Copyright Royalty 

Judges (Judges) oversee distribution of 

royalties to copyright owners whose 

works were included in a qualifying 

transmission and who timely filed a 

claim for royalties. Allocation of the 

royalties collected occurs in one of two 

ways. In the first instance, the Judges 

may authorize distribution in 

accordance with a negotiated settlement 

among all claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(4)(A). If all claimants do not 

reach agreement with respect to the 

royalties, the Judges must conduct a 

proceeding to determine the distribution 

of any royalties that remain in 

controversy. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(B). 

Alternatively, the Judges may, on 

motion of claimants and on notice to all 

interested parties, authorize a partial 

distribution of royalties, reserving on 

deposit sufficient funds to resolve 

identified disputes. 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(4)(C), 801(b)(3)(C). 

On January 21, 2015, representatives 

of the Phase I claimant categories (the 

‘‘Phase I Claimants’’) 1 filed with the 

Judges a motion requesting a partial 

distribution amounting to 60% of the 

2013 cable royalty funds pursuant to 

section 801(b)(3)(C) of the Copyright 

Act. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(3)(C). That section
