SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
satellite systems must submit royalty
payments to the Register of Copyrights
as required by the statutory license set
forth in section 119 of the Copyright Act
for the retransmission to satellite
subscribers of over-the-air television
broadcast signals. See 17 U.S.C. 119(b).
The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges)
oversee distribution of royalties to
copyright owners whose works were
included in a qualifying transmission
and who timely filed a claim for
royalties.
Allocation of the royalties collected
occurs in one of two ways. In the first
instance, the Judges may authorize
distribution in accordance with a
negotiated settlement among all
claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(A),
801(b)(3)(A). If all claimants do not
reach an agreement with respect to the
royalties, the Judges must conduct a
proceeding to determine the distribution
of any royalties that remain in
controversy. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(B),
801(b)(3)(B). Alternatively, the Judges
may, on motion of claimants and on
notice to all interested parties, authorize
a partial distribution of royalties,
reserving on deposit sufficient funds to

resolve identified disputes. 17 U.S.C.
119(b)(5)(C), 801(b)(3)(C).
On February 17, 2017, representatives
of all the Allocation Phase claimant
categories (formerly ‘‘Phase I’’) 1 filed
with the Judges a motion requesting a
partial distribution amounting to 60% of
the 2015 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, before ruling on the
motion, 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 the subject royalties has a
reasonable objection to the requested
distribution. Accordingly, this notice
seeks comments from interested
claimants on whether any reasonable
objection exists that would preclude the
distribution of 60% of the 2015 satellite
royalty funds to the Allocation Phase
Claimants. Parties objecting to the
proposed partial distribution must
advise the Judges of the existence and
extent of all their 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
the comment period.
The Motion of the Allocation Phase
Claimants is posted on the Copyright
Royalty Board Web site at https://
