SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    This Notice is issued pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(2), which 
requires the commencement of proceedings ``to determine reasonable 
terms and rates of royalty payments for the activities described in 
section 112(e)(1) relating to the limitation on exclusive rights 
specified by section 114(d)(1)(C)(iv).'' Section 112(e)(1) of the 
Copyright Act, title 17 of the United States Code, authorizes entities 
that transmit performances of sound recordings to business 
establishments, pursuant to the limitations set forth in section 
114(d)(1)(C)(iv), to make an ephemeral phonorecord of a sound recording 
for purposes of a later transmission. In accordance with section 
804(b)(2) as amended by the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform 
Act of 2004, the first proceeding was commenced in 2007, 72 FR 584 
(January 5, 2007); on March 27, 2008, the Copyright Royalty Judges 
published regulations that set the rates and terms for the license 
period 2009-2013. Section 804(b)(2) also requires that such proceedings 
``shall be repeated in each subsequent fifth calendar year.'' Thus, in 
accordance with section 804(b)(2) of the Copyright Act, the Judges 
announce the commencement of the proceeding to set rates and terms for 
the 2014-2018 license period. Section 803(b)(1)(A)(i)(II) directs the 
Judges to publish in the Federal Register a notice commencing this 
proceeding by no later than January 5, 2012. Today's notice fulfills 
this requirement.

Petitions To Participate

    Petitions to Participate must be filed in accordance with Sec.  
351.1(b) of the Judges' regulations. See 37 CFR 351.1(b). Petitions to 
Participate must be accompanied by a $150 filing fee. 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 corresponding 
Petition to Participate will be dismissed.
    In accordance with 37 CFR 350.2 (Representation), only attorneys 
who are members of the bar in one or more states or the District of 
Columbia and in good standing will be allowed to represent parties 
before the Copyright Royalty Judges, unless a party is an individual 
who represents himself or herself.

    Dated: December 28, 2011.
