The Copyright Royalty Judges
published in the Federal Register of
May 19, 2016, a document amending
regulations that govern reporting
requirements for noncommercial
educational webcasters that pay no
more than the minimum fee for their use
of sound recordings under the
applicable statutory licenses.
Inadvertently, the amendments did not
remove a superseded definition and did
not include a new defined term in the
operative regulations. This document
corrects those inadvertent omissions.
SUMMARY:
Effective Date: June 21, 2016.
Applicability Date: May 19, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kimberly Whittle at (202) 707–7658 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges)
published a final rule in the Federal
Register of May 19, 2014, (81 FR 31506)
that added a new term, Eligible
Minimum Fee Webcaster, to the
definition section of 37 CFR 370.4. In
doing so, the Judges intended to expand
relaxed reporting requirements to
certain noncommercial educational
webcasters that previously had been
excluded from such relaxed
requirements. The Judges added those
webcasters to the group and renamed
the group to more precisely describe the
members. The new term for the group is
‘‘Eligible Minimum Fee Webcaster.’’
The new definition includes all entities
that qualified under the previous
‘‘Minimum Fee Broadcaster’’ definition
and certain noncommercial educational
webcasters.
The amended regulation inadvertently
did not reference the new term ‘‘Eligible
Minimum Fee Webcaster’’ in the
relevant sections of part 370, namely, 37
CFR 370.4(d)(2)(vi) and (vii) and
370.4(d)(3)(i) and (ii). The amended
regulation also should have removed the
‘‘Minimum Fee Broadcaster’’ definition,
which is no longer necessary.
The Judges now make the necessary
changes to clarify that the reporting
requirements in Part 370 that applied to
‘‘Minimum Fee Broadcasters’’ now
apply to the more inclusive group,
‘‘Eligible Minimum Fee Webcasters.’’
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Copyright Royalty Judges amend 37 CFR
part 370 as follows:
Fmt 4700
Authority: 17 U.S.C. 112(e)(4), 114(f)(4)(A).
2. In § 370.4:
a. In paragraph (b), remove the
definition of ‘‘Minimum Fee
Broadcaster’’;
■ b. Revise paragraphs (d)(2)(vi) and
(vii) and (d)(3)(i) and (ii).
The revisions read as follows:
■
■
§ 370.4 Reports of use of sound
recordings under statutory license for
nonsubscription transmission services,
preexisting satellite digital audio radio
services, new subscription services and
business establishment services.

(d) * * *
(2) * * *

qualifying as eligible minimum fee

during the reporting period.
(vii) For a preexisting satellite digital

service, a business establishment service
or a nonsubscription service qualifying
as an eligible minimum fee webcaster:
The actual total performances of the
sound recording during the reporting
period or, alternatively, the
(A) Aggregate Tuning Hours;
(B) Channel or program name; and
(C) Play frequency.
(3) * * *
(i) For each calendar month of the
year by all services other than a

eligible minimum fee webcaster; or
(ii) For a two-week period (two
periods of 7 consecutive days) for each
calendar quarter of the year by a
nonsubscription service qualifying as an
eligible minimum fee webcaster and the
two-week period need not consist of
consecutive weeks, but both weeks must
be completely within the calendar
quarter.
