FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: LaKeshia Keys, Program Specialist, by telephone at (202) 707–7658 or email at crb@loc.gov. 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2009, 2010, and 2011.

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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Mar 01, 2012 Jkt 226001 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.

(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. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 26, ‘‘Fitness PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12885 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 1 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML110450583. 2 ADAMS Accession Nos.
