SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS Background On April 17, 2007, the Copyright Royalty Judges (‘‘Judges’’) published a notice in the Federal Register requesting comment on proposed regulations that set rates and terms for the noncommercial educational broadcasting statutory license under section 118 of the Copyright Act, title 17 of the United States Code, for the license period 2008–2012. 72 FR 19138. These proposed rates and terms were part of a joint proposal submitted on March 15, 2007, by the following parties to this proceeding: the American Council on Education (‘‘ACE’’); the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (‘‘ASCAP’’); Broadcast Music, Inc. (‘‘BMI’’); the Harry Fox Agency (‘‘HFA’’); the National Music Publishers’ Association, Inc. (‘‘NMPA’’); National Public Radio, Inc. (‘‘NPR’’); the National Religious Broadcasters Noncommerical Music License Committee (‘‘NRBNMLC’’); the Public Broadcasting Service (‘‘PBS’’) and SESAC, Inc. Section 801(b)(7)(A) of the Copyright Act allows the Judges to adopt such a proposal, which would be binding on all copyright owners and public broadcasting entities,1 provided that: (i) the Copyright Royalty Judges shall provide to those that would be bound by the terms, rates, or other determination set by any agreement in a proceeding to determine royalty rates an opportunity to comment on the agreement and shall provide to participants in the proceeding under section 803(b)(2) that would be bound by the terms, rates, or other determination set by the agreement an opportunity to comment on the agreement and object to its adoption as a basis for statutory terms and rates; and (ii) the Copyright Royalty Judges may decline to adopt the agreement as a basis for statutory terms and rates for participants that are not parties to the agreement, if any participant described in clause (i) objects to the agreement and the Copyright Royalty Judges conclude, based on the record before 1 A ‘‘public broadcasting entity’’ is defined as a ‘‘noncommercial educational broadcast station as defined in section 397 of title 47 and any nonprofit institution or organization engaged in the activities described in paragraph (2) of subsection (c)’’ of section 118. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 Sep 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 them if one exists, that the agreement does not provide a reasonable basis for setting statutory terms or rates. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(7)(A). Accordingly, the Judges published the joint proposal, with certain modifications, pursuant to this provision. See 72 FR at 19139 (April 17, 2007). Comments were due on or before May 17, 2007. In response to the notice, the Judges received only one comment, which was jointly submitted by NPR and PBS. The parties stated in pertinent part that due to ‘‘an inadvertent administrative error [in the parties’ joint proposal], some of the NPR and PBS proposed royalty rates * * * were incorrectly transcribed,’’ thereby making the rates proposed in § 381.7(b)(1)(i) ‘‘incorrect.’’ Joint Comments of National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting Service, filed May 15, 2007, at 2. They then set out the intended rates, which were lower than those published on April 17. Id. Consequently, as required by section 801(b)(7)(A), the Judges are publishing for comment rates correcting those previously proposed in § 381.7(b)(1)(i). Therefore, the public may comment and object only to the rates contained in today’s notice of proposed rulemaking. Those who do comment and object, however, must be prepared to participate in further proceedings in this docket to establish rates and terms for the section 118 license. List of Subjects in 37 CFR Part 381 Copyright, Music, Radio, Television, Rates. Proposed Regulations For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Copyright Royalty Judges propose to amend part 381 to Chapter III of title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as proposed on April 17, 2007 (72 FR 19138), to read as follows: PART 381—USE OF CERTAIN COPYRIGHTED WORKS IN CONNECTION WITH NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTING 1. The authority citation for proposed part 381 continues to read as follows: Authority: 17 U.S.C. 118, 801(b)(1) and 803. 2.

This revision addresses the requirements of EPA’s Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Ozone Season Trading Program, promulgated on May 12, 2005 and subsequently revised on April 28 and December 13, 2006. EPA is proposing to determine that the SIP revision fully implements the CAIR NOX ozone season requirements for Arkansas.

The CAIR FIPs for all States in the CAIR region were promulgated on April 28, 2006 and subsequently revised on December 13, 2006.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Arkansas; 
Clean Air Interstate Rule Nitrogen Oxides Ozone Season Trading Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Arkansas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on August 10, 2007, enacted at 
Regulation 19--Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution 
Control; Chapter 14, Sections 19.1401-19.1404; and Chapter 15, Section 
19.1501. This revision addresses the requirements of EPA's Clean Air 
Interstate Rule (CAIR) Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Ozone Season 
Trading Program, promulgated on May 12, 2005 and subsequently revised 
on April 28 and December 13, 2006. EPA is proposing to determine that 
the SIP revision fully implements the CAIR NOX ozone season 
requirements for Arkansas. Therefore, as a consequence of the SIP 
approval, EPA will also withdraw the CAIR Federal Implementation Plan 
(CAIR FIP) concerning NOX emissions for Arkansas. The CAIR 
FIPs for all States in the CAIR region were promulgated on April 28, 
2006 and subsequently revised on December 13, 2006.
    The intended effect of this action is to reduce NOX 
emissions from the State of Arkansas that are contributing to 
nonattainment of the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS or standard) in downwind states. This action is being taken 
under section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act or CAA).
