Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection. 2. Title of the Form/Collection: The National Forensic Laboratory Information System Collection of Drug Analysis Data. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: Medical Examiner/Coroner Office Survey; National Forensic Laboratory Information System Drug Survey of Drug Laboratories; and Toxicology Laboratory Survey for the component within the Department of Justice is the Drug Enforcement Administration, Diversion Control Division. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Affected public (Primary): Forensic Science Laboratory Management. Abstract: The National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) collections provide the DEA with national databases on analyzed drug samples from law enforcement activities, antemortem toxicology samples (toxiciology laboratories), and post-mortem toxicology samples (medical examiner/coroner offices (MECs) from federal, state, and local laboratories. Specifically, NFLIS-Drug data provide DEA current, precise, and representative estimates of drugs seized by law enforcement and analyzed by forensic laboratories. Since 2001, DEA has had case and drug report estimates for all drugs reported in NFLIS that are statistically representative of the nation and of census regions. The estimates, which are made possible by updating the laboratory profiles through the survey effort (see draft survey in Appendix), have given DEA the ability to track national and regional drug trends; a clearer national picture of illicit or diverted drug availability; additional information about the temporal changes in drug availability by geographic region; and the ability to detect new or emerging drugs. Information from NFLIS is combined with other existing databases to develop more accurate, up-to-date information on abused drugs. This database represents a voluntary, cooperative effort on the part of participating laboratories and MECs to provide a centralized source of analyzed drug VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:36 Aug 03, 2018 Jkt 244001 data. Existing federal drug abuse databases do not provide the type, scope, timeliness, or quality of information necessary to effectively estimate the actual or relative abuse potential of drugs as required under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 811(b)) and international treaties in a timely and efficient manner. For example, much of the trafficking data for federal drug scheduling actions is presently obtained on a case-by-case basis from state and local laboratories. Occasionally scientific personnel from the DEA’s Diversion Control Division, Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, have contacted specific laboratories and requested files. In addition, some DEA field offices routinely subpoena MEC records for use in case work. The development of the National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) greatly enhances the collection of such data. Submission of information for this collection is voluntary. DEA is not mandating this information collection. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The DEA estimates that 140 persons annually for this collection at 1.6 hour per respondent, for an annual burden of 218 hours. 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the proposed collection: The DEA estimates that this collection takes 218 annual burden hours.

ACTION: Final Distribution Determination. AGENCY: The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) announce final distribution of a portion of cable and satellite royalty funds for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The determination results from agreement among the participants that claim shares of the funds to be allocated to the Devotional Claimant category. The Judges issued their initial determination to the participants on July 19, 2018. DATES: Applicable: August 6, 2018. ADDRESSES: The final distribution order is also published in eCRB at https:// app.crb.gov/ and on the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov. Docket: For access to the docket to read submitted background documents, go to eCRB, the Copyright Royalty Board’s electronic filing and case management system, at https:// app.crb.gov/ and search for docket number 14–CRB–0010–CD/SD (2010– 13). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anita Blaine, CRB Program Specialist, by telephone at (202) 707–7658 or email at crb@loc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This matter is before the Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) on motion of Multigroup Claimants (MGC) for entry of a consent order adopting the distribution shares proposed by the Settling Devotional Claimants (SDC) and ordering a final distribution of cable and satellite television royalty funds to be allocated to the Devotional Claimants category in conformity with those agreed shares.1 SUMMARY: 1 Allocation of cable royalty funds to the Devotional Claimants category remains the subject of the allocation proceeding, Docket No. 14–CRB– 0010 CD (2010–13). The schedule in the proceeding to determine allocation of satellite royalty funds among claimant categories, Docket No. 14–CRB– 0011 SD (2010–13) is suspended pending completion of the cable allocation proceeding. PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The SDC do not oppose the final percentage distribution. The Judges find that the parties’ agreement regarding the final percentage distribution ends any remaining controversy with regard to the subject funds over which the Judges have jurisdiction and that neither party retains a significant interest related to this proceeding. Accordingly, good cause exists for entry of a final distribution determination relating to the subject funds. The Judges therefore order that the royalty shares proposed in the SDC’s Written Direct Statement (Dec. 29, 2017) are adopted, and that final distribution of the cable and satellite royalty funds allocated to the Devotional category shall be in accordance with the following relative shares. CABLE FUNDS ALLOCATED TO DEVOTIONAL PROGRAMMING Cable royalty year 2010 2011 2012 2013 ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... SDC share (percent) 77.1 82.6 84.8 89.1 MGC share (percent) 22.9 17.4 15.2 10.9 SATELLITE FUNDS ALLOCATED TO DEVOTIONAL PROGRAMMING Satellite royalty year 2010 2011 2012 2013 ...................... ...................... ...................... ...................... SDC share (percent) 75.3 88.3 90.7 97.7 MGC share (percent) 24.7 11.7 9.3 2.3 The Judges further order that, as the parties have presented this as an agreed determination, they have waived their rights to seek rehearing. The Judges further order that this final distribution determination is without prejudice to the parties’ right to appeal the Judges’ interlocutory ruling in this consolidated proceeding with regard to both cable and satellite claims issues. Upon issuance of this final determination, the Register of Copyrights (Register) shall have 60 days to conduct a statutory review. The Librarian of Congress shall review and cause this final determination, and any correction thereto by the Register, to be published in the Federal Register no later than the conclusion of the 60-day review period. July 18, 2018. So ordered. Suzanne M. Barnett, Chief United States Copyright Royalty Judge. E:\FR\FM\06AUN1.SGM 06AUN1
