Copyright Royalty Board Regulations
Regarding the Conduct of Proceedings
Copyright Royalty Board,
Library of Congress.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Copyright Royalty Judges
are amending regulations to clarify that
their hearings may be conducted in
person at the Library of Congress or an
alternative location, or virtually, at the
Judges’ discretion.
DATES: Effective June 11, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Docket: For access to the
docket to read background documents

Anita Blaine, CRB Program Specialist, at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 26, 2021, the Copyright
Royalty Judges (Judges) published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (notice)
in the Federal Register seeking
comments on a proposed rule to codify
the fact that future hearings may be
conducted physically, either at the
Library of Congress or an alternative
location, or virtually, at the Judges’
discretion. 86 FR 1163 (Feb. 26, 2021).
The Judges received one comment, from
SoundExchange, a regular participant in
Copyright Royalty Board proceedings, in
favor of the proposed rule.
SoundExchange cites to past hearings
that the Judges conducted, in
coordination and consultation with the
participants, in alternate locations and
virtually. It also anticipates the
possibility that virtual hearings could
make sense in the future, and notes that
the proposed rule provides flexibility
regarding the virtual platform.
Therefore, for the reasons indicated in
the February 26, 2021 notice, the Judges
adopt the proposed changes to part 351,
as detailed in this final rule.
