SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 20, 2012, representatives of the 
Phase I claimant categories (the ``Phase I Claimants'') \1\ filed with 
the Judges a motion requesting a partial distribution of 50% of the 
2010 satellite royalty funds pursuant to section 801(b)(3)(C) of the 
Copyright Act. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(3)(C). That section requires that the 
Judges publish a notice in the Federal Register seeking responses to 
the motion for partial distribution to ascertain whether any claimant 
entitled to receive such fees has a reasonable objection to the 
requested distribution before ruling on the motion. Consequently, this 
Notice seeks comments from interested claimants on whether any 
reasonable objection exists that would preclude the distribution of 50% 
of the 2010 satellite royalty funds to the Phase I Claimants. The 
Judges must be advised of the existence and extent of all such 
objections by the end of the comment period. The Judges will not 
consider any objections with respect to the partial distribution motion 
that come to their attention after the close of that period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The ``Phase I Claimants'' are Program Suppliers, Joint 
Sports Claimants, Broadcaster Claimants Group, Music Claimants 
(represented by American Society of Composers, Authors and 
Publishers, Broadcast Music, Inc., and SESAC, Inc.), and Devotional 
Claimants. In Phase I of a satellite royalty distribution 
proceeding, royalties are allocated among certain categories of 
broadcast programming that have been retransmitted by satellite 
systems. The categories have traditionally been movies and 
syndicated television series, sports programming, commercial 
broadcaster-owned programming, religious programming, and music. 
Public Television Claimants, Canadian Claimants, and National Public 
Radio, which traditionally have received Phase I shares of cable 
royalties, do not claim Phase I shares of the satellite royalty 
funds. In Phase II of a satellite royalty distribution proceeding, 
royalties are allocated among claimants within each of the Phase I 
categories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Judges also seek comment on the existence and extent of any 
controversies to the 2010 satellite royalty funds at Phase I or Phase 
II with respect to those funds that would remain if the motion for 
partial distribution is granted.
    The Motion of the Phase I Claimants for Partial Distribution is 
posted on the Copyright Royalty Board Web site at https://www.loc.gov/crb.

    Dated: July 30, 2012.
