Procedural Regulations for the
Copyright Royalty Board Regarding
Electronic Filing of Claims;
Corrections
Copyright Royalty Board (CRB),
Library of Congress.
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
AGENCY:
On June 13, 2017, the
Copyright Royalty Judges revised their
rules regarding filing of claims. That
document inadvertently added a
requirement that filers of joint DART
claims include addresses and email
addresses for all claimants. Interested
parties filed a petition to amend asking
the Judges to remove the requirement
because the proposed rule did not
include it. This document corrects the
final regulations to remove the
requirement.
SUMMARY:
Effective November 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
22, 2017, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, AARC,
and HFA petitioned the Copyright
Royalty Judges to amend the rule
regarding filing of DART joint claims, 82
FR 27016, because the proposed rule
did not discuss a change requiring
addresses and email addresses of all
claimants listed in joint claims, and the
new requirement places a burden upon

the petitioning parties that was likely
unintended.
The preamble to the proposed rule, 82
FR 14167, addressed the purpose of the
revisions to the rules: (1) Changes were
necessary due to implementation of an
electronic filing system, and (2)
consolidation of rules was necessary to
streamline the regulations regarding
cable and satellite claims. The preamble
also stated that the rules regarding
DART claims would be relocated, but it
did not mention any other changes to
the DART rules. In the final rule, the
Judges mistakenly added a requirement
that filers include in the content of joint
DART claims the addresses and email
addresses of all listed claimants.
The petitioners argue that if the rule
stands they will not be able to file joint
claims for their clients because of
confidentiality restrictions regarding
release of address information. Had the
Judges proposed a change in the rule to
require addresses and email addresses,
the petitioners would have submitted a
comment objecting to that requirement.
In light of the fact that the claims
filing period for DART starts in less than
two months, the Judges do not intend to
impose a greater burden on the
petitioners than in past filing periods.
They remove the requirement for
claimant addresses and email addresses
from the regulations governing the
content of joint DART claims.

In this document, the Federal

Instead, the Commission will rely on
commercially available data, along with
targeted data collections when
necessary, to meet its statutory

reduces the burdens of the Circuit
Capacity Reports, for instance by
eliminating reporting of terrestrial and
