LIBRARY OF CONGRESS 

U.S. Copyright Office 

[Docket No. 2016–1] 

Notice of Intent To Audit 

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of 

Congress. 

ACTION: Public Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Copyright Office is 

announcing receipt of twelve notices of 

intent to audit certain 2012 and 2013 

statements of account filed by cable 

operators and satellite carriers pursuant 

to the section 111 and 119 statutory 

licenses. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Regan A. Smith, Associate General 

Counsel, by email at resm@loc.gov or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Sections 111 and 119 of the Copyright 

Act (‘‘Act’’), Title 17 of the United 

States Code, establish compulsory 

licenses under which cable operators 

and satellite carriers may, by complying 

with the license terms, retransmit 

copyrighted over-the-air broadcast 

programming. Among other 

requirements, cable and satellite 

licensees must file statements of 

account and deposit royalty fees with 

the U.S. Copyright Office (‘‘Office’’) on 

a semi-annual basis. 

The Satellite Television Extension 

and Localism Act of 2010, Pub. L. 111– 

175 (2010), amended the Act by 

directing the Register of Copyrights 

(‘‘Register’’) to issue regulations to allow 

copyright owners to audit the 

statements of account and royalty fees 

that cable operators and satellite carriers 

file with the Office. See 17 U.S.C. 

119(b)(2) (directing the Register to 

‘‘issue regulations to permit interested 

parties to verify and audit the 

statements of account and royalty fees 

submitted by satellite carriers under this 

subsection’’); 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(6) 

(directing the Register to ‘‘issue 

regulations to provide for the 

confidential verification by copyright 

owners whose works were embodied in 

the secondary transmissions of primary 

transmissions pursuant to [section 111] 

of the information reported on the 

semiannual statements of account filed 

under this subsection for accounting 

periods beginning on or after January 1, 

2010, in order that the auditor 

designated under subparagraph 

[111(d)(6)(A)] is able to confirm the 

correctness of the calculations and 

royalty payments reported therein’’). 

Following a lengthy rulemaking 

proceeding, the Office issued such 

regulations, adopting the audit process 

now set forth in 37 CFR 201.16. See 79 

FR 68623 (Nov. 18, 2014). Section 

201.16(c)(1) requires any copyright 

owner who intends to audit a statement 

of account to provide written notice to 

the Register no later than three years 

after the last day of the year in which 

the statement of account was filed with 

the Office. 37 CFR 201.16(c)(1). Such 

notice may be submitted by an 

individual copyright owner or a 

designated agent that represents a group 

or multiple groups of copyright owners. 

Id. The notice must be received in the 

Office on or after December 1st and no 

later than December 31st. Id. The Office 

is required to publish a notice in the 

Federal Register announcing the receipt 

of the notice of intent to audit between 

January 1st and January 31st of the next 

calendar year. Id.

NATIONAL CRIME PREVENTION AND 

PRIVACY COMPACT COUNCIL 

Fingerprint Submission Requirements 

AGENCY: National Crime Prevention and 

Privacy Compact Council. 

ACTION: Notice of approval of a U.S. 

Department of the Interior, Bureau of 

Indian Affairs proposal requesting 

access to the Interstate Identification 

Index with delayed fingerprint 

submission. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 14616. 

SUMMARY: The National Crime 

Prevention and Privacy Compact 

Council (Compact Council) approves a 

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) proposal 

requesting access to the Interstate 

Identification Index (III) System on a 

delayed fingerprint submission basis. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary 

S. Barron, FBI CJIS Division, 1000 

Custer Hollow Road, Module D3, 

Clarksburg, WV 26306; Telephone (304) 

625–2803; email gary.barron@ic.fbi.gov; 

Fax number (304) 625–2868. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 28, 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 

901, specifically § 901.3, gives authority 

to the Compact Council, established by 

the National Crime Prevention and 

Privacy Compact Act of 1998 (Compact), 

to approve proposals for delayed 

submission of fingerprints supporting 

requests for III records. The proposals 

must fully describe the emergency 

nature of the situation, the risk to the 

health and safety of those involved, and 

the reasons why contemporaneous 

fingerprint submission with the search 

request is not feasible. The BIA proposal 

makes such an request when conducting 

criminal history record checks on behalf 

of federally-recognized tribes, in 

connection with the placement of 

children with temporary custodians on 

an emergency basis. (See BIA’s 

proposal, attached.) Federallyrecognized tribes that receive funds 

under the Indian Self-Determination 

and Education Assistance Act (25, 

United States Code [U.S.C.], 450, et. seq) 

or the Tribally Controlled Schools Act 

(25 U.S.C. 2501, et. seq) are authorized 

access to criminal history record 

information pursuant to Public Law 

101–630 (25 U.S.C. 3205 and 3207). 

The BIA’s proposal was submitted by 

letter dated February 11, 2015, and 

approved by the Compact Council on 

May 13, 2015, pursuant to 28 CFR 901.2 

and 901.3. Access to the III System to 

conduct name-based criminal history 

record checks, followed by fingerprint 

submissions, provides a responsive and 

timely avenue to determine whether an 

applicant presents a risk to children 

during exigent circumstances when time 

is of the essence. Such name-based 

checks will be followed by submission 

of the applicant’s fingerprints to the FBI 

within 15 calendar days. 

Dated: December 10, 2015. 

Dawn A. Peck, 

Compact Council Chairman.
