The Copyright Royalty Judges
are announcing receipt of two notices of
intent to audit the 2009, 2010, and 2011
statements of account submitted by
Digitally Imported, Inc., and Beasley
Broadcast Group, Inc., concerning the
royalty payments made by each

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Copyright Act, title 17 of the United
States Code, grants to copyright owners
of sound recordings the exclusive right
to perform publicly sound recordings by
means of certain digital audio
transmissions, subject to certain
limitations. Specifically, this right is
limited by two statutory licenses. The
section 114 license allows the public
performance of sound recordings by
means of digital audio transmissions by
nonexempt noninteractive digital
subscription services and eligible
nonsubscription services. 17 U.S.C.
114(f). The second license allows a
service to make any necessary
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate
the digital transmission of the sound
recording. 17 U.S.C. 112(e).
Licensees may operate under these
licenses provided they pay the royalty
fees and comply with the terms set by
the Copyright Royalty Judges. The rates
and terms for the section 112 and 114
licenses are set forth in 37 CFR part 380.
As part of the terms set for these
licenses, the Judges designated
SoundExchange, Inc., as the
organization charged with collecting the
royalty payments and statements of
account submitted by eligible
nonsubscription services such as,
among others, Commercial Webcasters
and Broadcasters, and distributing the
royalties to the copyright owners and
performers entitled to receive such
royalties under the section 112 and 114
licenses. 37 CFR 380.4(b)(1)
(Commercial Webcasters), 380.13(b)(1)
(Broadcasters). As the designated
Collective, SoundExchange may
conduct a single audit of a licensee for
any calendar year for the purpose of
verifying their royalty payments.
SoundExchange must first file with the
Judges a notice of intent to audit a
licensee and serve the notice on the
licensee to be audited. 37 CFR 380.6(c),
380.15(c).
On February 15, 2012,
SoundExchange filed with the Judges
separate notices of intent to audit
Digitally Imported, Inc., a Commercial
Webcaster, and Beasley Broadcast
Group, Inc., a Broadcaster, for the years

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Grantee Conflict of
Interest Policies.
OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW.
Proposed Project: The National
Science Foundation (NSF) is an
independent Federal agency created by
the National Science Foundation Act of
1950, as amended (42 USC 1861–75).
The Act states the purpose of the NSF
is ‘‘to promote the progress of science;
[and] to advance the national health,
prosperity, and welfare by supporting
research and education in all fields of
science and engineering.’’
NSF has had a unique place in the
Federal Government: It is responsible
for the overall health of science and
engineering across all disciplines. In
contrast, other Federal agencies support
research focused on specific missions
such as health or defense. The
Foundation also is committed to
ensuring the nation’s supply of
scientists, engineers, and science and
engineering educators.
NSF funds research and education in
most fields of science and engineering.
It does this through grants and
cooperative agreements to more than
2,000 colleges, universities, K–12 school
systems, businesses, informal science
organizations and other research

organizations throughout the US. The
Foundation accounts for about onefourth of Federal support to academic
institutions for basic research.
NSF proposes to conduct a survey to
determinate how NSF grantees identify,
oversee, and manage financial conflicts
of interest in research funded by NSF.
This survey focuses on NSF’s grantee’s
conflict of interest policies and
procedures, and on any conflicts of
interest that were identified and
managed during FY 2010. By examining
how NSF grantees have identified and
managed their financial conflicts of
interest, this survey will help the
Foundation determine whether there are
any areas for improvement in NSF’s
policies and guidelines.
Use of the Information: Analysis of
the responses is necessary to determine
whether there are any areas for
improvement in NSF’s policies and
guidelines.
Respondents:
Burden on the Public: The Foundation
estimates about 175 responses at
approximately 15 hours per response;
this computes to approximately 2625
burden hours annually.

Millstone Power Station, Units 1, 2 and
3, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.;
Exemption
1.0 Background
Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.
(DNC or the licensee) is the holder of
Facility Operating License Nos. DRP–21,
DPR–65 and NPF–49, which authorize
operation of the Millstone Power
Station, Unit Nos. 1, 2 and 3 (Millstone),
respectively. The license provides,
among other things, that the facility is
subject to all rules, regulations, and
orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC, the Commission)
now or hereafter in effect.
The facility consists of one boiling
water reactor and two pressurized-water
reactors located in New London County,
Connecticut. The boiling water reactor
is permanently shut down.

Regulations (10 CFR) Part 26, ‘‘Fitness

For Duty Programs,’’ Subpart I,
‘‘Managing Fatigue,’’ requires that
individuals described in 10 CFR
26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) are subject to
the work hour controls provided in 10
CFR 26.205. By letter dated February 10,
2011,1 supplemented by letters dated
March 10, 2011, and February 6, 2012,2
and pursuant to 10 CFR 26.9, DNC,
doing business as Dominion, requested
an exemption from the requirements of
10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d) during
declarations of severe weather
conditions such as tropical storm and
hurricane force winds at the Millstone
site. A subsequent response to requests
for additional information (RAI) is dated
August 31, 2011.3
The requested exemption applies to
individuals who perform duties
identified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through
(a)(5) who are designated to perform
work as a member of the Millstone
hurricane response organization (HRO).
The exemption request states that the
station HRO typically consists of
enough individuals to staff two 12-hour
shifts of workers consisting of personnel
from operations, maintenance,
engineering, emergency planning,
radiation protection, chemistry, site
services and security to maintain the
safe and secure operation of the plant.
Entry conditions for the requested
exemption occur when the site activates
the Station Hurricane Command Center
and the Site Vice President (or his
designee) determines that travel
conditions to the site will potentially
become hazardous such that HRO
staffing will be required—based on
verifiable weather conditions. Verifiable
weather conditions are defined in the
exemption request as when the National
Weather Service issues an Inland High
Wind Warning for Hurricane Force
Winds for New London County or when
the Dominion Weather Center projects
tropical storm or hurricane force winds
onsite within 12 hours.
After the high wind conditions pass,
wind damage to the plant and
surrounding area might preclude a
sufficient number of individuals from
immediately returning to the site.
Additionally, if mandatory civil
evacuations were ordered, this would
delay the return of sufficient relief
personnel. The exemption request states
that the exemption will terminate when
hurricane watches and warnings or
inland hurricane watches and warnings
have been cancelled; when weather
