1The FCC defined a specialty station as ‘‘a

commercial television broadcast station that

generally carries foreign-language, religious, and/or

automated programming in one-third of the hours

of an average broadcast week and one-third of

weekly prime-time hours.’’ 47 CFR 76.5(kk)(1976).

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Copyright Office

[Docket No. RM 94–4A]

Cable Compulsory License: Specialty

Station List

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of

Congress.

ACTION: Notice of filings, request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is

publishing a list of stations that sent us

affidavits claiming that they legally

qualify for specialty station status.

Specialty station status means a

commercial broadcast television station

qualifies as a specialty station under

former distant signal carriage rules of

the Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) for purposes of

administering section 111 of title 17,

United States Code. Any party objecting

to a listed station’s claim should send

the objection and the reasons for it to

the Copyright Office.

DATES: Comments must be received by

June 8, 1995. The effective date of the

annotated list will coincide with the

beginning of the accounting period that

starts after the final list is published in

the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: By Mail: Copyright GC/I&R,

P.O. Box 70400, Southwest Station,

Washington, DC 20024. By Hand: Office

of the General Counsel, U.S. Copyright

Office, James Madison Memorial

Building, Room LM 407.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marilyn J. Kretsinger, Acting General

Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box

Telefax: (202) 707–8366.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Copyright Office is compiling a new

specialty station list of television

broadcast stations that qualify as

specialty stations under the former

distant signal carriage rules of the

Federal Communications Commission

(47 CFR 76.5(kk)(1981)). We published

a Notice of Inquiry asking qualifying

stations to submit sworn affidavits to

the Office stating that the programming

of their stations satisfies the FCC’s

former requirements for specialty

station status 1 by March 27, 1995. 60 FR

4639 (January 24, 1995). The number of

filings received indicated that many

stations had not seen the Federal

Register notice. To assure the new list

is complete, we extended the deadline

to April 24, 1995. 60 FR 18426 (April

11, 1995).

Background

The FCC did not consider the

specialty station status of distant signals

carried by cable systems after it deleted

its distant signal carriage rules.2

However, specialty station status is still

relevant for administration of section

111 of the Copyright Act of 1976,

because specialty stations may be

carried as distant signals by cable

television systems at a significantly

lower rate than the 3.75% rate that is

usually incurred by a system when it

carries non-permitted signals.

The Office created its first specialty

station list in 1990, and stated that it

would compile a new list at

approximately three year intervals.

Ninety stations filed affidavits this year

claiming specialty station status. These

stations are listed below. We ask that

any party who objects to another party’s

claim to specialty station status submit

specific and factual comments as to

which station(s) they object to, and why.

The Office will publish a final

annotated list of specialty stations that

includes references to objections to

stations’ claims. Cable systems

considering carriage of stations as

specialty stations may then verify the

station’s status and program carriage

before making a final decision.

Copyright Office licensing examiners

will refer to the final annotated

specialty station list in examining cable

systems’ claims on their Statements of

Account that particular stations are

specialty stations. If a cable system

claims specialty station status for a

station not on the final annotated list,

the examiner will check to see if the

station has filed an affidavit since

publication of the list. Although the

Office does not officially place stations

filing affidavits after publication of the

final list on this list, it will accept these

affidavits for the record.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

Call for Nominations for Nuclear Safety

Research Review Committee

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Call for nominations.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is inviting

nominations of qualified candidates to

consider for appointment to fill three

anticipated vacancies on its Nuclear

Safety Research Review Committee

(NSRRC). Nominations will be accepted

till June 16, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit nominations to: Ms.

Jude Himmelberg, Office of Personnel,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington DC 20555.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. George Sege. Designated Federal

Officer for the NSRRC, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20555; telephone: 301–415–6593.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Committee advises the Director of the

NRC’s Office of Nuclear Research—and

through him the Commission—on the

quality and conduct of NRC research

activities and makes recommendations

concerning the overall management and

direction of the nuclear safety research

program.

The 12-member Committee is

composed of senior experts in nuclear

engineering or science capable of

providing technical advice on the broad

range of topics that are the subject of

nuclear safety research for nuclear

power plants and other facilities.

Maintaining balance and diversity of

experience, knowledge, and judgment is

an important consideration in the

selection of members. Committee

members serve a two-year term and may

be reappointed for up to two additional

two-year terms.

Over the next two years, the

Committee will be examining such

issues as the quality of nuclear safety

research relative to the needs of the

users of the research products, the longrange direction of the nuclear safety

research programs, the peer review

process of research products and the

capability of individuals and facilities

where nuclear safety research is

conducted.

In order to maintain a good balance of

capabilities on the Committee,

candidates should have expertise in

nuclear engineering and nuclear safety,

with emphasis on demonstrated

capabilities in major portions of one of

the following two areas.

• Advanced instrumentation and

controls and human factors, including

human-system interfaces.

• Broad experience in design and

operation of nuclear power plants,

nuclear engineering, and research

related to nuclear power plants.

Selection for membership will be

based on demonstrated capability and

professional accomplishment in the

indicated area of specialization, in the

conduct or management of scientific or

engineering research and in applying

research to nuclear safety issues.

Nominations for membership must

include a re ́sume ́ describing the

educational and professional

qualifications of the nominee and the

nominee’s current address and daytime

telephone number. Nominees must be

U.S. citizens and be able to devote about

80 hours per year to Committee

business.

Dated at Rockville, MD, this 2nd day of

May 1995.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
