Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 9, 2009 / Notices
for the retransmission to cable
subscribers of over-the-air television
and radio broadcast signals. See 17
U.S.C. 111(d). These royalties are then
distributed 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, these funds
will be distributed through a negotiated
settlement among the parties. 17 U.S.C.
111(d)(4)(A). If the claimants do not
reach an agreement with respect to the
royalties, the Copyright Royalty Judges
(‘‘Judges’’) must conduct a proceeding to
determine the distribution of any
royalties that remain in controversy. 17
U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(B).
On August 12, 2009, representatives
of the Phase I claimant categories (the
‘‘Phase I Parties’’) 1 filed with the Judges
a motion requesting a partial
distribution of 50% of the 2007 cable
royalty funds. Under section
801(b)(3)(C) of the Copyright Act, the
Judges must publish a notice in the
Federal Register seeking responses to
the motion for partial distribution to
ascertain whether any claimant entitled
to receive such fees has a reasonable
objection to the requested distribution
before ruling on the motion.
Consequently, by today’s Notice, the
Judges seek comments from interested
claimants on whether any reasonable
objection exists that would preclude the
distribution of 50% of the 2007 cable
royalty funds to the Phase I Parties.
The Judges also seek comment on the
existence and extent of any
controversies to the 2007 cable royalty
funds at Phase I with respect to the 50%
of those funds that would remain if the
partial distribution is granted. In Phase
I of a cable royalty distribution, royalties
are distributed to certain categories of
broadcast programming that have been
retransmitted by cable systems. The
categories have traditionally been
movies and syndicated television series,
sports programming, commercial and
noncommercial broadcaster-owned
programming, religious programming,
music, public radio programming, and
Canadian programming. In Phase II of a
cable royalty distribution, royalties are
distributed to claimants within each of
the Phase I categories.
The Judges must be advised of the
existence and extent of all Phase I
controversies by the end of the comment
1 The ‘‘Phase I Parties’’ are the Program Suppliers,
Joint Sports Claimants, Public Television
Claimants, the National Association of
Broadcasters, the American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, Broadcast Music, Inc.,
SESAC, Inc., Canadian Claimants, National Public
Radio, and the Devotional Claimants.

period. It will not consider any
controversies that come to their
attention after the close of that period.
The Motion of the Phase I Claimants
for Partial Distribution is posted on the
Copyright Royalty Board Web site at

Dated: September 3, 2009.
