SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Copyright Act, title 17 of the United
States Code, grants to sound recordings
copyright owners the exclusive right to
publicly perform sound recordings by
means of certain digital audio
transmissions, subject to limitations.
Specifically, the performance right is
limited by the statutory license in
section 114, which allows nonexempt
noninteractive digital subscription
services, eligible nonsubscription
services, pre-existing subscription
services, and preexisting satellite digital
audio radio services to perform publicly
sound recordings by means of digital
audio transmissions. 17 U.S.C. 114(f). In
addition, a statutory license in section
112 allows a service to make necessary
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate
the digital transmission of the sound
recording. 17 U.S.C. 112(e).
Licensees may operate under these
licenses provided they pay the royalty
fees and comply with the terms set by
the Copyright Royalty Judges. The rates
and terms for the section 112 and 114
licenses are set forth in 37 CFR parts
380 and 382–84.
As part of the terms for these licenses,
the Judges designated SoundExchange,
Inc., as the Collective, i.e., the
organization charged with collecting
royalty payments and statements of
account submitted by eligible licensees
and with distributing royalties to the
copyright owners and performers
entitled to receive them under the
section 112 and 114 licenses. See, e.g.,
37 CFR 380.2(a) 1.
As the Collective, SoundExchange
may, only once a year, conduct an audit
of a licensee for any or all of the prior
three calendar years in order to verify
royalty payments. SoundExchange must
first file with the Judges a notice of
intent to audit a licensee and deliver the
notice to the licensee. See, e.g., 37 CFR
380.6(c).

are to current sections of the CFR.

On December 20, 2018,
SoundExchange filed with the Judges a
notice of intent to audit licensee
AccuRadio, LLC for its transmissions
terminating in the United States for the
years 2015, 2016, and 2017. The Judges
must publish notice in the Federal
Register within 30 days of receipt of a
notice announcing the Collective’s
intent to conduct an audit. See id.
Today’s notice fulfills this requirement
with respect to SoundExchange’s notice
of intent to audit filed December 20,
2018.
Dated: January 10, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Information on Meetings With
Outside Parties Pursuant to Executive
Order 12866.
Abstract: Executive Order 12866,
‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’
issued by President Clinton on
September 30, 1993, establishes and
governs the process under which OIRA
reviews agency draft and proposed final
regulatory actions. Consistent with the
disclosure provisions of Executive
Order 12866, OIRA provides
information about its work related to
regulatory reviews on Reginfo.gov at
www.Reginfo.gov and on OIRA’s website
at https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/
oira. If the OIRA Administrator or his/
her designee meets with outside parties
during a review, the subject, date, and
participants of the meeting are disclosed
on the Reginfo.gov website, as well as
any materials distributed at such
meetings.
These meetings occur at the initiative
and request of an outside party. Any
member of the public may request a
meeting about a regulatory action under
OIRA review to present their views and
may invite other outside parties to
attend. OIRA invites representatives
from the agency or agencies issuing the
regulatory action. OIRA does not take
minutes during the meeting but does,
however, post on any written materials
provided by outside parties during these
meetings, including the initial meeting
request.
To help ensure transparency
associated with meetings pursuant to
Executive Order 12866, OIRA is
proposing to collect—and then post
publicly—the following information
from outside parties that request a
meeting with OIRA to present their
views on a regulatory action currently
under review:
1. Names of all attendees who will be
present at the meeting from the outside
party or parties. Each attendee’s
organization or affiliation. If an attendee
is representing another organization,
please provide the name of the
E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM

organization the attendee is
representing.
2. The name of the regulatory action
under review on which the party would
like to present its views.
3. Electronic copies of all of briefing
materials that will be used during the
presentation.
4. An acknowledgment by the
requesting party that all information
submitted to OIRA pursuant to this
collection and meeting request will be
made publically available at
Reginfo.gov.
Additionally the contact information
(phone number and email) for the
requesting organization will also be
collected in order to confirm the
meeting with them, but will not be
posted. This revision includes allowing
outside parties to provide the
information to OIRA through an
electronic online form.
This revision to the information
collection will streamline the current
process for outside parties when
requesting a meeting and will ensure
transparency and accuracy of the docket
that OIRA keeps in accordance with the
disclosure provisions of Executive
Order 12866. OIRA welcomes any and
all public comments on the proposed
collection of information such as the
accuracy of OIRA’s burden estimate, the
practical utility of collecting this
information, and whether there are
additional pieces of information that
could be collected from meeting
requestors to further the disclosure
provisions of Executive Order 12866.
Current actions: Proposal for revising
an existing information collection
requirement.
Type of review: Revision.
