other requirements, cable and satellite licensees must file statements 
of account and deposit royalty fees with the U.S. Copyright Office 
(``Office'') on a semi-annual basis.

Office issued such regulations, adopting the audit process now set 
forth in 37 CFR 201.16.\3\ Section 201.16(c)(1) requires any copyright 
owner who intends to audit a statement of account to provide written 
notice to the Register no later than three years after the last day of 
the year in which the statement of account was filed with the 
Office.\4\ Such notice may be submitted by an individual copyright 
owner or a designated agent that represents a group or multiple groups 
of copyright owners.\5\ The notice must be received in the Office on or 
after December 1st and no later than December 31st.\6\ Between January 
1st and January 31st of the next calendar year, the Office will publish 
a notice in the Federal Register announcing the receipt of the notice 
of intent to audit.\7\
