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 § 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:49 Jan 29, 2008
Jkt 214001
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 (§ 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 twoyear term. NACOSH members will be
selected upon the basis of their
experience and competence in the field
of occupational safety and health
(§ 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.

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:

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.
