In their motion, the moving parties represented that they had reached a settlement with regard to royalty category allocation. The moving parties maintained that the allocation settlement was nonprecedential and confidential. Because the moving parties maintain the confidentiality of the allocation shares, however, the Judges have no way to allocate the reserved funds among the categories with continuing controversies. By Order dated December 8, 2008, the Judges ordered distribution of 90% of the satellite royalty funds deposited for royalty years 1999 through 2003. While the Judges ordered ten percent of the royalty funds to be held in reserve, they did not allocate the reserve among the categories with remaining distribution controversies. See Order Granting in Part . . . Partial Distribution . . ., Dkt. Nos. 2008–5 CRB SD 1999–2000, 2005– 2 CRB SD 2001–03 at 2–3 (Dec. 8, 2008) (Phase I Order). To direct execution of this final determination, therefore, the Judges must first know the exact dollar amount they should order disbursed to the SDC to complete the distribution. The Judges therefore Grant the Motion as to the percentage of distribution.1 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. The Judges Further Order the Phase I Claimants jointly to notify the Judges and the Licensing Division no later than seven days after the date of publication of this Determination of the percentage of 2000 satellite royalty funds that was allocable to the SDC as of December 8, 2008. The Judges Further Order the Licensing Division of the Copyright Office, based upon the percentage allocable to the SDC provided by the Phase I Claimants, to calculate the dollar amount that is available to be distributed from 2000 satellite royalty funds to the SDC by taking the principal balance as of December 8, 2008, as reported jointly by the remaining categories of claimants to 2000 satellite 1 This finding is based on IPG’s lack of compensable claims and not on expert valuation of the relative value of SDC’s and IPG’s respective claims to 2000 satellite royalties. See Order Granting Final Distribution of 2008 Satellite Royalties for the Devotional Category, Docket No. 2012–7 CRB SD 1999–2009 (Phase II) (Dec. 22, 2015).

The Licensing Division shall provide the result of its calculation to the Judges and to the Phase I Claimants. The SDC may then request that the Judges distribute those funds to complete the final distribution. The Register of Copyrights (‘‘Register’’) has concluded her statutory review.
