SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 111 of the Copyright Act 

grants a statutory copyright license to 

cable television systems for the 

retransmission of over-the-air television 

and radio broadcast stations to their 

subscribers. 17 U.S.C. 111(c). In 

exchange for the license, cable operators 

submit royalty payments and statements 

of account detailing their 

retransmissions semiannually to the 

Copyright Office. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(1). 

The Copyright Office deposits the 

royalties into the United States Treasury 

for later distribution to copyright 

owners of the broadcast programming 

that the cable systems retransmit. 17 

U.S.C. 111(d)(2). 

A cable system calculates its royalty 

payments in accordance with the 

statutory formula described in 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(1). See 37 CFR part 387. Royalty 

rates are based upon a cable system’s 

gross receipts from subscribers who 

receive retransmitted broadcast signals. 

For rate calculation purposes, cable 

systems are divided into three tiers 

based on their gross receipts (small, 

medium, and large). 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(1)(B) through (F). Both the 

applicable rates and the tiers are subject 

to adjustment. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(2). 

Section 804 of the Copyright Act 

provides that the gross receipts and 

royalty rates may be adjusted every five 

years beginning with 2005, thus making 

2025 a royalty adjustment year, upon 

the filing of a petition to initiate a 

proceeding. 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(1). 

However, since no petition has been 

filed pursuant to section 804(b)(1), 

section 803(b)(1)(A)(i)(V) requires the 

Judges to publish a Federal Register 

notice no later than January 5, 2025, 

commencing this proceeding. 

No person with a significant interest 

has filed a petition to initiate a 

proceeding in 2024.1 The Judges must, 

therefore, publish notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the 

commencement of a proceeding and 

calling for Petitions to Participate. See 

17 U.S.C. 803(b)(1). 

Petitions to Participate 

Parties filing Petitions to Participate 

should use the interactive form in eCRB, 

instead of uploading a document, and 

must comply with the requirements of 

§ 351.1(b) of the Copyright Royalty 

Board’s regulations. 

Dated: December 19, 2024. 

David P. Shaw, 

Chief Copyright Royalty Judge.
