Broadcasters Claimants Group (BCG),
and the ‘‘Music Claimants’’ consisting of
Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), American
Society of Composers, Authors &
Publishers (ASCAP), and SESAC, Inc.
(collectively, Phase I Parties).
Independent Producers Group (IPG)
opposed the Joint Motion on the
grounds that: (i) a proceeding for 2000–
2009 funds should not be commenced
before resolution of all controversies
relating to 1997 to 1999 Satellite funds,
and (ii) combining ten years’ issues
would present an overwhelmingly
difficult task for counsel and the Judges.
The Phase I Parties replied that IPG had
not presented a compelling reason to
either delay the proceeding or to
bifurcate the proposed royalty year
aggregation.
With respect to the 1999 funds, after
the conclusion of a protracted California
state lawsuit initiated by IPG, the Judges
resolved all remaining issues, except
allocation of devotional programming
funds.2 To the extent IPG’s chronology
argument had any weight, that weight is
now lifted by the inclusion of the 1999
satellite controversy asserted by IPG in
this proceeding.
Similarly, with respect to the issue of
consolidating a decade’s distributions,
the Judges are confident that, after threeto 14- years of discussion, negotiation,
and professional courtesies, what
remains for judicial consideration is a
manageable array of questions, both for
counsel representing the parties and for
the Judges. Further, the statutory
calendar for distribution proceedings
provides ample time for discovery,
continuing negotiation, and possible
settlement of remaining controversies.
No party questioned the existence of
controversies relating to the satellite
funds at issue. IPG’s objections to
commencement of the proceeding and
to the aggregation of the royalty years
for determination are not persuasive.
The Judges, therefore, hereby announce
the commencement of a Phase II
distribution proceeding for satellite
royalties deposited between 1999 and
2009, inclusive, pursuant to 17 U.S.C.
803(b)(1) and request Petitions to
Participate (PTP) from interested
parties.
The assigned Docket Number for this
consolidated proceeding shall be 2012–
7 CRB SD 1999–2009 (Phase II). To
participate in this Phase II proceeding,
a party, other than an individual, must
be represented by an attorney.

SD 1999–2000.

Petitions To Participate
Parties in interest must file PTPs in
accordance with 37 CFR 351.1(b).
Interested parties asserting claims in
excess of $1,000 must include with the
PTP a filing fee of $150 in the form of
check or money order payable to
‘‘Copyright Royalty Board’’. If a
participant’s claim does not exceed
$1,000 and if the PTP includes a
statement that the participant will not
seek a distribution in excess of $1,000,
the participant need not submit the
filing fee.3
The Judges will address scheduling
and further procedural matters after
receiving Petitions to Participate.
Dated: August 13, 2013.

Chief Copyright Royalty Judge.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract and Request for Comments
NCUA is reinstating a previously
approved collection of information for
12 CFR § 701.3, Member Inspection of
Credit Union Books, Records, and
Minutes. Section 701.3 is NCUA’s
regulation on the circumstances and
conditions under which FCU members
may inspect and copy the FCU’s books,
records, and minutes of meetings. The
collection of information requirements
apply to FCU members seeking
inspection and copying of the FCU’s
records and FCUs that receive such
member requests. To obtain access to
records, members are required to submit
a petition to the FCU, stating a proper
purpose for inspection and signed by at
least one percent of the members, with
a minimum of 20 and a maximum of
500 members. Section 701.3 requires
that the FCU must permit inspection of
relevant records if it receives such a
petition. The members of an FCU own
it, and the disclosure requirements
placed on an FCU are necessary to
ensure transparency and protect the
rights of the members. The FCU records
disclosed to members as a result of a
petition are used by the members to
protect their ownership and financial
interests. The petition signatures
collected by each FCU are used by the
FCU to verify the membership status of
each petitioner.
The information collection only arises
upon a member request. In NCUA’s
experience, members do not use this
petition authority often. NCUA
estimates that, on an annual basis and
across all FCUs, there will be only
approximately five member petitions
requesting inspection of FCU records.
NCUA estimates that it will take a group
of member-petitioners (each group
treated as one respondent)
approximately ten hours to prepare a
petition and submit it to the FCU. Five
groups of member-petitioners times ten
hours per respondent equals 50 annual
burden hours. NCUA estimates that it
will take an FCU that receives a petition
approximately 20 hours to evaluate the
petition, locate the relevant documents,
and make them available for inspection

and copying. Five FCUs times 20 hours
per respondent equals 100 annual
burden hours. The estimated total
annual burden hours for all respondents
equal 150 hours. The FCU’s costs of
document search and copying fall on
the member-petitioners and not on the
FCU.
NCUA requests that you send your
comments on the information collection
requirements under section 701.3 to the
locations listed in the addresses section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of NCUA,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
our estimate of the burden (hours and
cost) of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents such
as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. It is NCUA’s
policy to make all comments available
to the public for review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract and Request for Comments
NCUA is reinstating a previously
approved collection of information for
12 CFR 701.31, Nondiscrimination
Requirements in Real Estate-Related
Lending, Appraisals, and Advertising.
Section 701.31 implements
requirements of the Fair Housing Act,
42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. It requires each
Federal credit union (FCU) to maintain
a copy of the real estate appraisal used
to support an applicant’s real estaterelated loan application and to make it
available to any requesting member/
applicant for a period of 25 months. It
also requires an FCU using geographic
factors in evaluating real estate-related
loan applications to disclose such fact
on the appraisal, along with a statement
demonstrating the necessity of using
such factors. The FCU retains the
appraisal with the noted factors in its
records to prove compliance with
nondiscrimination statutes and
regulations. The FCU’s borrowers and
NCUA use the information to determine
whether the FCU discriminates against
certain borrowers. This regulation
ensures compliance with the Fair
Housing Act anti-redlining
requirements.
The real estate appraisal is an integral
part of most real estate-related loan
transactions. The appraisal, factors
affecting the appraisal, and record
retention are all routinely included in
most real estate-related loan
transactions as a usual and customary
industry practice. Therefore, any cost in
time for the FCU is minimal. NCUA
estimates that the time required for this
collection of information is
approximately one hour per year for
each FCU. As of July 2, 2013, there were
4,220 FCUs that could make real estaterelated loans. 1 hour × 4,220
respondents/recordkeepers = 4,220 total
annual burden hours. NCUA does not
believe that FCUs will incur any
additional costs as a result of the
recordkeeping requirement.
NCUA requests that you send your
comments on the information collection
requirement under section 701.31 to the
locations listed in the addresses section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of NCUA,

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
