appropriate Federal Reserve Bank to
debit the account utilized by the RDFI.
The Federal Reserve Bank will provide
advice of the debit to the RDFI.
(g) Reclamation disputes. Where the
Service, in accordance with paragraph
(b) of this section, has instructed a
Federal Reserve Bank to debit the
account of a financial institution for the
45-day Amount, the financial institution
may file a dispute notice challenging the
reclamation. A dispute notice filed
under this paragraph must be in writing,
and must be sent to the Claims Manager,
Department of the Treasury, Financial
Management Service, at the address
listed on the notice of the debit, or to
such other address as the Service may
publish in the Green Book. The
reclamation dispute notice must include
supporting documentation. The Service
will not consider reclamation dispute
notices received more than 90 days after
the date on which the financial
institution’s reserve account was
debited. The Claims Manager, or an
authorized designee, will make every
effort to decide any dispute notice
submitted under this section within 60
days. If it is not possible to render a
decision within 60 days, the Claims
Manager or an authorized designee will
notify the financial institution of the
delay and may take up to an additional
60 days to render a decision. If, based
on the evidence provided, the Claims
Manager, or an authorized designee,
finds that the financial institution has
proved, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that debit was improper or
excessive, the Service will notify the
financial institution in writing and,
within ten days of the decision, recredit
the financial institution’s reserve
account for the amount improperly
debited. Such notice shall serve as the
final agency determination under the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
701 et seq.). No civil suit may be filed
until the financial institution has filed
a dispute notice under this section, and
the Service has provided notice of its
final determination.
6. Revise § 210.11, paragraph (b)(3)(i)
to read as follows:

ACTION: Notice of public inquiry; request
for comments; extension of comment
period.
SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is
extending the time in which reply
comments may be filed on the topic of
the application of Title 17 to the
termination of certain grants of transfers
or licenses of copyright, specifically
those for which execution of the grant
occurred prior to January 1, 1978 and
creation of the work occurred on or after
January 1, 1978.
DATES: The comment period for initial
comments on the Notice of Inquiry and
Requests for Comments published on
March 29, 2010 (75 FR 15390) closed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United States Copyright Office is
extending the reply comment period for
commenting on the topic of the
application of Title 17 to the
termination of certain grants of transfers
or licenses of copyright, specifically
those for which execution of the grant
occurred prior to January 1, 1978 and
creation of the work occurred on or after
January 1, 1978. This action is being
taken in order to allow interested parties
adequate time to give input on this
important issue. Reply comments are
due by 5 p.m. on May 21, 2010.
Subject of Inquiry
The Copyright Office seeks comment
on the question of whether and how
Title 17 provides a termination right to
authors (and other persons specified by
statute) when the grant was made prior
to 1978 and the work was created on or
after January 1, 1978. For purposes of
illustration, please note the following
examples:
Example 1: A composer signed an
agreement with a music publisher in 1977
transferring the copyrights to future musical
compositions pursuant to a negotiated fee
schedule. She created numerous
compositions under the agreement between
1978 and 1983, some of which were
subsequently published by the publishertransferee. Several of these achieved
immediate popular success and have been
economically viable ever since. The original
contract has not been amended or
superseded.
Example 2: A writer signed an agreement
with a book publisher in 1977 to deliver a
work of nonfiction. The work was completed
and delivered on time in 1979 and was
published in 1980. The book’s initial print
run sold out slowly, but because the author’s
subsequent works were critically acclaimed,
it was released with an updated cover last
year and is now a best seller. The rights
remained with the publisher all along and
the original royalty structure continues to
apply.
Questions
In order to better understand the
application of sections 304(c), 304(d)
and 203 to the grants of transfers and
licenses discussed above, the Copyright
Office seeks comments as follows:
A. Experience. Please describe any
experience you have in exercising or
negotiating termination rights for pre1978 grants of transfers or licenses for
E:\FR\FM\14MYP1.SGM
14MYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 93 / Friday, May 14, 2010 / Proposed Rules
works that were created on or after
January 1, 1978.
B. Interpretation. Are the grants of
transfers or licenses discussed above
terminable under Title 17 as currently
codified? If so, under which provision?
What is the basis for your
determination? Are there state or federal
laws other than copyright that are
relevant? Is delivery of the work by the
grantor to the grantee relevant to the
question of termination? Is publication
relevant?
C. Recommendations. Do you have
any recommendations with respect to
the grants of transfers or licenses
illustrated above?
D. Other Issues. Are there other issues
with respect to the application or
exercise of termination provisions that
you would like to bring to our attention
for future consideration?

AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; amendments.
SUMMARY: On October 6, 2009, EPA
promulgated its response to the remand
of the new source performance
standards and emissions guidelines for
hospital/medical/infectious waste
incinerators by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit and satisfied the Clean Air Act
Section 129(a)(5) requirement to
conduct a review of the standards every
five years. This action proposes to
amend the new source performance
standards in order to correct inadvertent
drafting errors in the emissions limits
for nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide
promulgated for large hospital/medical/
infectious waste incinerators, which did
not correspond to our description of our
standard-setting process. This action
will also correct erroneous cross-

recordkeeping requirements.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be
received on or before June 28, 2010.
Because of the need to revise the new
source performance standards (NSPS)
emissions limits and reporting and
recordkeeping requirements in a timely
manner, EPA will not grant requests for
extensions beyond this date.
Public Hearing. If anyone contacts
EPA by May 24, 2010 requesting to
speak at a public hearing, EPA will hold
a public hearing on June 1, 2010.
