In Intercollegiate Broadcast System, Inc.v. Copyright Royalty Board, 574 F.3d 748 (D.C. Cir. 2009), the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the Judges’ determination in the main but remanded to the Judges the matter of setting the minimum fee to be paid by both Commercial Webcasters and Noncommercial Webcasters under E:\FR\FM\23DEP1.SGM 23DEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 23, 2009 / Proposed Rules Sections 112(e) and 114 of the Copyright Act. Id. at 762, 767. By order dated October 23, 2009, the Judges established a period commencing November 2, 2009, and concluding on December 2, 2009, for the parties to negotiate and submit a settlement of the minimum fee issue that was the subject of the remand. On December 2, 2009, SoundExchange, Inc. and the Digital Media Association (‘‘DiMA’’) submitted a settlement regarding the statutory minimum fee to be paid by Commercial Webcasters.1 Having received such a settlement, the Judges now publish for comment the proposed change in the rule that is necessary to implement that settlement pursuant to order of remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

See Order Regarding Conduct and Scheduling of the Remand Proceeding, Docket No. 2005–1 CRB DTRA (October 23, 2009); see also Order Denying in Part and Granting in Part Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order, Docket No. 2005–1 CRB DTRA December 23, 2009. The Judges note that the proposed change is to § 380.3(b), which currently addresses the minimum fee for Commercial and Noncommercial Webcasters in a single paragraph. For sake of clarity, the Judges have proposed a new § 380.3(b)(1), which sets forth the proposed minimum fee for Commercial Webcasters per the settlement between SoundExchange and DiMA and a new § 380.3(b)(2), which sets forth the minimum fee for Noncommercial Webcasters and retains the language in the current § 380.3(b) except all references to Commercial Webcasters have been deleted.

Upon payment of the minimum fee, the Commercial Webcaster will receive a credit in the amount of the minimum fee against any royalty fees payable in the same calendar year. (2) Noncommercial Webcasters. Each Noncommercial Webcaster will pay an annual, nonrefundable minimum fee of $500 for each calendar year or part of a calendar year of the license period during which they are Licensees pursuant to licenses under 17 U.S.C. 114. This annual minimum fee is payable for each individual channel and each individual station maintained by Noncommercial Webcasters and is also payable for each individual Side Channel maintained by Broadcasters who are Licensees.

Board, 574 F.3d 748 (D.C. Cir. 2009), the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the Judges'
determination in the main but remanded to the Judges the matter of
setting the minimum fee to be paid by both Commercial Webcasters and

[[Page 68215]]
Sections 112(e) and 114 of the Copyright Act. Id. at 762, 767. By order
dated October 23, 2009, the Judges established a period commencing
November 2, 2009, and concluding on December 2, 2009, for the parties
to negotiate and submit a settlement of the minimum fee issue that was
the subject of the remand. On December 2, 2009, SoundExchange, Inc. and
the Digital Media Association (``DiMA'') submitted a settlement
regarding the statutory minimum fee to be paid by Commercial
Webcasters.\1\ Having received such a settlement, the Judges now
publish for comment the proposed change in the rule that is necessary
to implement that settlement pursuant to order of remand from the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
\1\ Since the settlement does not include Noncommercial
Webcasters, the Judges, on remand of the DC Circuit, will determine
the minimum fee for Noncommercial Webcasters pursuant to the October
23, 2009, order. See Order Regarding Conduct and Scheduling of the
Remand Proceeding, Docket No. 2005-1 CRB DTRA (October 23, 2009);
see also Order Denying in Part and Granting in Part Joint Motion to

2009. The Judges note that the proposed change is to Sec.  380.3(b),
which currently addresses the minimum fee for Commercial and
Noncommercial Webcasters in a single paragraph. For sake of clarity,
the Judges have proposed a new Sec.  380.3(b)(1), which sets forth
the proposed minimum fee for Commercial Webcasters per the
settlement between SoundExchange and DiMA and a new Sec.
380.3(b)(2), which sets forth the minimum fee for Noncommercial
Webcasters and retains the language in the current Sec.  380.3(b)
except all references to Commercial Webcasters have been deleted.
