Telephone: (202) 707–8380. Telefax: (202) 707–8366. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On May 27, 2010, the President signed the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010. (‘‘STELA’’). See Public Law 111–175, 124 Stat. 1218 (2010). The legislation extended the term of the Section 119 license for another five years, updated the statutory license structures to account for changes resulting from the nationwide transition to digital television, and revised the Section 111 and Section 122 licenses in several other respects. In addition, STELA instructed the Copyright Office, the Government Accountability Office and the FCC to conduct studies and report findings to Congress on different structural and regulatory aspects of the broadcast signal carriage marketplace in the United States. Section 302 of STELA, entitled ‘‘Report on Market Based Alternatives to Statutory Licensing,’’ charges the Copyright Office with the following: Not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, and after consultation with the Federal Communications Commission, the Register of PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 27091 Copyrights shall submit to the appropriate Congressional committees a report containing: (1) Proposed mechanisms, methods, and recommendations on how to implement a phase-out of the statutory licensing requirements set forth in sections 111, 119, and 122 of title 17, United States Code, by making such sections inapplicable to the secondary transmission of a performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission of a broadcast station that is authorized to license the same secondary transmission directly with respect to all of the performances and displays embodied in such primary transmission; (2) any recommendations for alternative means to implement a timely and effective phase-out of the statutory licensing requirements set forth in sections 111, 119, and 122 of title 17, United States Code; and (3) any recommendations for legislative or administrative actions as may be appropriate to achieve such a phase-out. In response to these directives, the Office published a Notice of Inquiry in the Federal Register, 76 FR 11816 (March 3, 2011), seeking comments and information from the public on several issues that are central to the scope and operation of Section 302 and critical to the Office’s analysis of the legal and business landscapes pertaining to video programming. II. Notice of Public Hearing The Office finds that public input on marketplace alternatives to the statutory licenses from interested parties is critical to a balanced and comprehensive report to Congress. Consequently, the Office has determined that a process involving both written comments and an open hearing is needed to gather the necessary information. The Office is therefore announcing the scheduling of a public hearing on the issues raised in the Section 302 NOI to complement the comments and reply comments submitted in this proceeding. The Office will conduct its hearing with interested parties in the Copyright Office Hearing Room, LM–408, at the Madison Building of the Library of Congress on June 10, 2011. The format for these hearings will resemble the traditional Congressional hearing model in that there will be panels of witnesses presenting testimony to a panel of Copyright Office staff. Each participant will have a limited time to present his or her testimony. The Office will determine time limits for the witnesses once it receives all requests to testify. After the oral statements, the Office staff will ask questions of the various persons who testify, and interested parties may submit written questions to the Office by June 8, 2011, which may be addressed to specific witnesses or the E:\FR\FM\10MYN1.SGM 10MYN1

the State of Alaska. Under this Alaska exception, before any employer 
may use alien crewmembers to perform longshore activities in the State 
of Alaska, it must submit an attestation to the Secretary of Labor 
containing the elements prescribed by the INA at 8 U.S.C. 1288(d). The 
INA further requires that the Secretary of Labor make available for 
public examination in Washington, DC a list of employers that have 
filed attestations and, for each of these employers, a copy of the
