action may be instituted, maintained, or supported by the society for 
the public performance of a nondramatic musical work in a society's 
repertoire, that is not identified and documented as required under

repertoire of the performing rights society as provided under section 
121 has been made.''.

SEC. 3. RADIO PER PROGRAMMING PERIOD LICENSE.

    Section 504 of title 17, United States Code, as amended by section

following new subsection:
    ``(f) Radio Per Programming Period License.--
            ``(1) In general.--Each performing rights society shall 
        offer, to any radio broadcaster that so requests, a per 
        programming period license to perform nondramatic musical works 
        in the repertoire of the performing rights society. Such 
        license shall be offered on reasonable terms and conditions 
        that provide an economically and administratively viable 
        alternative to the blanket license offered by the society to 
        radio broadcasters for all such broadcasters.

                    ``(A) The total price of a per programming period 
                license described under paragraph (1)--

                        incidental and feature performances, with the 
                        incidental performance component to be 
                        independent of the quantity of such 
                        performances by the broadcaster and not to 
                        exceed the relative value the performing rights

                        distribution of royalties; and

                        performance component, for a broadcaster that 
                        makes only incidental performances of music in 
                        the society's repertoire, and the fee that 
                        would be payable under the blanket license 
                        offered to radio broadcasters, in direct 
                        proportion to the percentage of the 
                        broadcaster's revenue attributable to 
                        programming periods containing feature 
                        performances of nondramatic musical works in 
                        the society's repertoire compared to the 
                        industry average percentage of revenue 
                        attributable to programming periods containing 
                        feature performances of such musical works.
                    ``(B) A nondramatic musical work shall not be 
                considered in calculating any per programming period 
                license fee under this subsection, if the performance 
                of such work--
                            ``(i) has been licensed directly, at the 
                        source, or other than by the society; or

                        exempt from liability under this title.
            ``(3) Administration of license.--Commencing on January 1, 
        1998, the performance of nondramatic musical works by a 
        broadcaster under any per programming period license shall be 
        determined on the basis of statistically reliable sampling or 
        monitoring by the performing rights society, and the society 
        may not require the broadcaster to report such performances to 
        the society. The society shall provide the broadcaster with a 
        report detailing the results of such sampling or monitoring, 
        identifying each programming period containing the performance 
        of nondramatic musical works in the society's repertoire and 
        the nondramatic musical works in the society's repertoire 
        performed during each such period.
            ``(4) Implementation.--Any radio broadcaster entitled to a 
        per programming period license under this subsection may bring 
        an action to require compliance with this subsection in an 
        appropriate United States district court, including any 
        district court established by court order or statute as a court 
        that resolves disputes, with respect to license rates, that may 
        arise between performing rights societies and persons who 
        perform musical works in the society's repertoire.

                provided by a performing rights society that authorizes 
                the unlimited performance of musical works in the 
                society's repertoire, for a fee that does not vary with 
                the quantity of performances of musical works in the 
                society's repertoire, or any other license with 
                comparable economic effect;
                    ``(B) the term `incidental' as applied to 
                performances shall include commercial jingles not 
                exceeding 60 seconds in duration, bridges, themes or

        owners of such works, such as the American Society of 
        Composers, Authors, and Publishers, Broadcast Music, Inc., and
