Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 127 / Monday, July 6, 2009 / Notices 31985 

1On July 23, 2007, the Judges ordered a 

distribution of 98% of the 2006 Sound Recordings 

Fund to the Alliance of Artists and Recording 

Companies (‘‘AARC’’). In the Matter of Distribution 

of 2006 Digital Audio Recording Royalty Funds, 

Docket No. 2007–2 CRB DD 2006. On November 16, 

2006, the Judges ordered a distribution of 98% of 

the royalties in the 2005 Sound Recordings Fund 

to AARC and Donald Johnson. In the Matter of 

Distribution of 2005 Digital Audio Recording 

Royalty Funds, Docket No. 2006–4 CRB DD 2005. 

In the latter order, the Judges also denied AARC’s 

motion to dismiss Mr. Mazique’s claim. The current 

order concerns the remaining 2% of the 2005 and 

2006 Sound Recordings Funds (both the Copyright 

Owners Subfund and the Featured Artists Subfund), 

which, according to AARC, total approximately 

$60,000 ($20,000 for the 2005 Fund and $40,000 for 

the 2006 Fund). Opposition of the Alliance of 

Artists and Recording Companies to Motion Filed 

By [Edward Mazique] at 5 (May 7, 2009). In his 

motion, Mr. Mazique asks that the remaining 2% of 

the 2005 and 2006 Sound Recordings Funds be 

divided equally among all claimants, including 

himself, other than AARC and ‘‘any parties, 

individuals etc., that have arrangements or have 

already settled with AARC.’’ 

2Parties must pay the filing fee with a check or 

money order made payable to ‘‘Copyright Royalty 

Board.’’ If a check is returned for lack of sufficient 

funds the corresponding Petition to Participate will 

be dismissed.

Further investigation in this case 

would serve no purpose, and the 

investigation under this petition has 

been terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 30, 2009, Edward Whitney 

Mazique filed a motion in which he 

requested a share of royalties remaining 

in the 2005 and 2006 Sound Recordings 

Funds.1 AARC opposes the motion, 

arguing, among other things, that the 

remaining royalties are still in 

controversy and that a hearing is 

required to determine their proper 

distribution. AARC contends, however, 

that such a hearing should be postponed 

indefinitely because the costs of holding 

one might ‘‘outweigh the financial 

results of the proceeding.’’ In light of the 

participants’ continued inability to 

reach a settlement with respect to the 

remaining funds, a proceeding is 

warranted. Therefore, the motion is 

denied and the Judges hereby announce 

the commencement of a proceeding and 

request Petitions to Participate from 

interested persons. The Judges are 

consolidating the 2005 and 2006 royalty 

years into a single proceeding due to the 

low dollar amount in controversy and to 

enhance administrative efficiency. 

Petitions to Participate 

Petitions to Participate must be filed 

in accordance with 37 CFR 351.1(b). 

Petitions to Participate must be 

accompanied by a $150 filing fee, if 

applicable.2 If a petitioner believes that 

the contested amount of that petitioner’s 

claim will be $10,000 or less, petitioner 

shall state that in its petition and need 

not include the $150 filing fee.3

In accordance with 37 CFR 350.2 

(Representation), only attorneys who are 

members of the bar in one or more states 

and in good standing may represent 

parties before the Judges, unless a party 

is an individual who represents herself 

or himself. 

Dated: June 30, 2009. 

James Scott Sledge, 

Chief U.S. Copyright Royalty Judge.
