TJ programs. Applicants must
demonstrate that a relationship exists
with the required partners or that such
a relationship could be established
quickly because of existing connections
and agreements to work together.
Applicants may also include other
partners that can provide needed
services for program participants and/or
refer participants to the applicant as
described in the SGA. Upon selection,
all grantees will be required to
participate in a random assignment
evaluation.

subsequent SGA amendments, in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Introduction
There are three statutory licenses in
the U.S Copyright Act governing the
retransmission of distant and local
television broadcast station signals. The
cable statutory license, codified in
Section 111 of the Act, permits a cable
operator to retransmit both local and
distant radio and television station
signals to its subscribers who pay a fee
for cable service. The satellite carrier
statutory license, codified in Section
119 of the Act, permits a satellite carrier
to provide distant broadcast television
station signals to its subscribers.
Satellite carriers may also retransmit
local television station signals into the
stations’ local markets on a royalty-free
basis pursuant to the Section 122
statutory license. Use of this license is
contingent upon the satellite carrier
complying with the rules, regulations,
and authorizations established by the
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Federal Communications Commission
(‘‘FCC’’) governing the carriage of local
television station signals. See 17 U.S.C.
122(a)(2).
Sections 111, 119, and 122 operate in
place of transactions that would
otherwise be left to the open
marketplace. They allow cable operators
and satellite carriers to retransmit the
television broadcast content carried on
local and distant broadcast signals
without having to incur the transaction
costs associated with individual
negotiations for such programming. In
exchange for the statutory right to
publicly perform copyrighted broadcast
programming, the users of the Section
111 and Section 119 licenses pay
royalties in accordance with the
separate rate structures set forth in the
law. Larger cable operators pay a
percentage of royalties based upon the
gross receipts generated by a cable
system, while satellite carriers pay
royalties on a per subscriber, per signal,
per month basis. Cable operators and
satellite carriers must file Statements of
Account (and pay royalty fees) every six
months with the Office and report
which broadcast signals they have
retransmitted.
Under the statutory licenses, local and
distant broadcast television stations
transmit a variety of programming,
including network and syndicated
programming, movies, sports
programming, local news broadcasts,
noncommercial shows, religious
material, and music of all types. The
cable operators and satellite carriers pay
royalties at the rate set forth by law.
These royalty fees are collected by the
Copyright Office and invested in
government securities until the time
that copyright owners can seek and
participate in the process of allocating
such fees. Under Chapter 8 of the
Copyright Act, the Copyright Royalty
Judges (‘‘CRJs’’), not the Office, are
charged with authorizing the
distribution of the royalty fees and
adjudicating royalty claim disputes
arising under Sections 111 and 119 of
the Act.1
Prior to the enactment of the
Copyright Act of 1976, U.S. copyright
1 Copyright owners who have historically claimed
a share of the statutory royalties are as follows: (1)
‘‘Program Suppliers’’ (commercial entertainment
programming) (2) ‘‘Joint Sports Claimants’’
(professional and college sports programming); (3)
‘‘Commercial Television Claimants’’ (local
commercial television programming); (4) ‘‘Public
Television Claimants’’ (national and local
noncommercial television programming); (5)
‘‘National Public Radio’’ (noncommercial radio
programming); (6) ‘‘Devotional Claimants’’ (religious
television programming); (7) ‘‘Music Claimants’’
(musical works included in television
programming); and (8) ‘‘Canadian Claimants’’
(Canadian television programming).
