SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
cable systems must submit royalty
payments to the Register of Copyrights
as required by the statutory license set
forth in section 111 of the Copyright Act
for the retransmission to cable
subscribers of over-the-air television
and radio broadcast signals. See 17
U.S.C. 111(d). The Copyright Royalty
Judges (Judges) oversee distribution of
royalties to copyright owners whose
works were included in a qualifying
transmission and who timely filed a
claim for royalties. Allocation of the
royalties collected occurs in one of two
ways.
In the first instance, the Judges may
authorize distribution in accordance
with a negotiated settlement among all
claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(A).
If all claimants do not reach agreement
with respect to the royalties, the Judges
must conduct a proceeding to determine
the distribution of any royalties that
remain in controversy. 17 U.S.C.
111(d)(4)(B). Alternatively, the Judges
may, on motion of claimants and on
notice to all interested parties, authorize
a partial distribution of royalties,
reserving on deposit sufficient funds to
resolve identified disputes. 17 U.S.C.
111(d)(4)(C), 801(b)(3)(C).
On February 17, 2017, representatives
of the Allocation Phase (formerly Phase
I) Parties (‘‘Allocation Phase
Claimants’’) 1 filed with the Judges a
1 The Allocation Phase Claimants are Program
Suppliers; Joint Sports Claimants; Public Television
Claimants; National Association of Broadcasters;
American Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers; Broadcast Music, Inc.; SESAC, Inc.;
Canadian Claimants Group; Devotional Claimants,
and National Public Radio. In the Allocation Phase
of a cable royalty distribution proceeding, the
Judges allocate royalties among certain categories of
claimants whose broadcast programming has been
retransmitted by cable systems. The ‘‘Allocation
Phase Claimants’’ who are the moving parties in
this requested partial distribution represent
traditional claimant categories. The Judges have not
and do not by this notice determine the universe
of claimant categories for 2015 cable retransmission
royalties.

motion requesting a partial distribution
amounting to 60% of the 2015 cable
royalty funds pursuant to section
801(b)(3)(C) of the Copyright Act. 17
U.S.C. 801(b)(3)(C). That section
requires that, before ruling on the
motion, the Judges publish a notice in
the Federal Register seeking responses
to the motion for partial distribution to
ascertain whether any claimant entitled
to receive the subject royalties has a
reasonable objection to the requested
distribution.
Accordingly, this Notice seeks
comments from interested claimants on
whether any reasonable objection exists
that would preclude the distribution of
60% of the 2015 cable royalty funds to
the Allocation Phase Claimants. Parties
objecting to the partial distribution must
advise the Judges of the existence and
extent of all objections by the end of the
comment period. The Judges will not
consider any objections with respect to
the partial distribution motion that
come to their attention after the close of
the comment period.
The Judges have caused the Motion of
the Allocation Phase Claimants for
Partial Distribution to be posted on the
Copyright Royalty Board Web site at
https://www.loc.gov/crb.
Dated: April 19, 2017.
