FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Strasser, Senior Attorney, or Gina Giuffreda, Attorney Advisor, by telephone at (202) 707–7658 or e-mail at crb@loc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Each year, semiannually, cable systems must submit royalty payments to the Copyright Office as required by the cable statutory license for the privilege of retransmitting over-the-air television and radio broadcast stations. 17 U.S.C. 111. These royalties are then distributed to copyright owners whose works were included in such retransmissions and who timely filed a claim for royalties. Distribution of the royalties for each calendar year are conducted by the Copyright Royalty Judges (‘‘Judges’’) in two phases. At Phase I, the royalties are divided among the representatives of the major categories of copyrightable content (movies, sports programming, music, etc.) requesting the distribution. At Phase II, the royalties are divided among the various copyright owners within each category. This Notice announcing the commencement of a proceeding under 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(1) for distribution of cable royalties collected for 1998 and 1999 is confined to Phase II. A Phase I proceeding for these royalty years was conducted by the Librarian of Congress under the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (‘‘CARP’’) system, the predecessor to the Copyright Royalty Judges. The Librarian issued his determination dividing the royalties among the eight Phase I claimant groups, 69 FR 3606 (January 26, 2004), and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed his determination. Program Suppliers v. Librarian of Congress, 409 F.3d 395 (DC Cir. 2005). The Librarian did not, however, resolve the Phase II distribution of these royalty years and terminated the proceeding on August 10, 2007. 72 FR 45071. PO 00000 Frm 00103 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Consequently, it is now necessary for the Copyright Royalty Judges to resolve this Phase II distribution.1 Commencement of Phase II Proceeding Consistent with 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(8), the Copyright Royalty Judges determine that a Phase II controversy exists as to the distribution of 1998 and 1999 cable royalties. We reach this determination, in this instance, for several reasons. First, we observe that certain interested parties represented to the Librarian some time ago that several Phase II controversies exist for these years. Second, the Program Suppliers have recently represented to us that a Phase II controversy with the National Association of Broadcasters remains for these years. Comments of the Program Suppliers on the Existence of a Controversy, at 5, n. 3 (filed in Docket No. 2005–4 CRB CD 2003 on September 19, 2007). And third, we have not received notification that any settlements have been reached, nor have we received motions for final distribution. The Judges are consolidating the 1998 and 1999 royalty years into a single proceeding. The Librarian consolidated these years for purposes of the Phase I proceeding without incident, and Phase II proceedings are traditionally less extensive and complicated, thereby making consolidation of multiple royalty years more administratively efficient. Petitions To Participate Petitions to Participate must be filed in accordance with the § 351.1(b) of the Judge’s regulations. See 37 CFR 351.1(b). Petitions to Participate submitted by interested parties whose claims do not exceed $1,000 must contain a statement that the party will not seek a distribution of more than $1,000. No filing fee is required for these parties. We note, however, that interested parties with claims exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) must submit a filing fee of one hundred and fifty dollars ($150) with their Petition to Participate or it will be rejected. Cash will not be accepted; therefore, parties must pay the filing fee with a check or money order made payable to the ‘‘Copyright Royalty Board.’’ If a check received in payment of the filing fee is returned for lack of sufficient funds, the 1 It is important to note that this is a new proceeding before the Copyright Royalty Judges and not a transfer or continuation of a prior proceeding of the Librarian. See Section 6(b)(1) of the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108–419 (any CARP proceeding terminated by the Librarian ‘‘shall become null and void’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health 
(OSHA) invites interested parties to submit nominations for membership 
on NACOSH. The Committee is authorized by section 7(a) of the 
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 656) to 
advise the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services on matters relating to the administration of the OSH Act. 
NACOSH is a continuing advisory body and operates in compliance with 
provisions in the OSH Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. App. 2), and regulations issued pursuant to those laws (29 CFR 
1912a, 41 CFR part 101-6 and 102-3).
    NACOSH is comprised of 12 members, all of whom the Secretary of 
Labor appoints. Nominations will be accepted for five vacancies (29 CFR 
1912a.2). The composition of the committee and categories of members to 
be appointed are as follows:
     Four public representatives. Two will be appointed;
     Two management representatives. One will be appointed;
     Two labor representatives. No vacancies;
     Two representatives representing occupational safety 
professions. One will be appointed; and,
     Two representing occupational health professions. One 
health representative will be appointed.
    Pursuant to Sec.  1912a.2, the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) will designate for appointment by the Secretary of Labor 
one of the public representatives and the representative from the 
occupational health professions. Therefore, OSHA will provide to HHS 
all nominations, including supporting materials, for those membership 
categories.
    NACOSH members serve staggered two-year terms, unless the member 
becomes unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be qualified to serve 
because he or she no longer meets the relevant representational 
requirements, or is removed by the Secretary of Labor. If a vacancy 
occurs before a term expires, the Secretary may appoint a new member 
who represents the same interest as the predecessor to serve the 
remainder of the unexpired term. The committee meets at least two times 
a year (Sec.  1912a.4).
    Any interested person or organization may nominate one or more 
qualified individuals for membership. Nominations must include the 
nominee's name, occupation or current position, and contact 
information. The nomination also must identify the category that the 
candidate is qualified to represent, and include a resume of the 
nominee's background, experience, and qualifications. In addition, the 
nomination must state that the nominee is aware of the nomination and 
is willing to serve on NACOSH for a two-year term. NACOSH members will 
be selected upon the basis of their experience and competence in the 
field of occupational safety and health (Sec.  1912a.2). The 
information received through this nomination process, in addition to 
other relevant sources of information, will assist the Secretary of 
Labor in appointing members to serve on NACOSH. In selecting NACOSH 
members, the Secretary of Labor will consider individuals nominated in 
response to this Federal Register notice, as well as other qualified 
individuals. OSHA will publish a list of the new NACOSH members in the 
Federal Register.
