Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 119 / Thursday, June 24, 2021 / Notices
acts extend the Longshore Act’s
coverage to certain other employees.
Pursuant to the LHWCA, injured
employees shall receive compensation
in an amount equal to 66–2/3 per
centum of their average weekly wage.
Form LS–426, Request for Earnings
Information, is used by district offices to
collect wage information from injured
workers to assure payment of
compensation benefits to injured
workers at the proper rate. This
information is needed for determination
of compensation benefits in accordance
with section 10 of the LHWCA. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through January 31,
2022.
Legal authority for this information
collection is found at 33 U.S.C. 910.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
under the PRA approves it and displays
a currently valid OMB Control Number.
In addition, notwithstanding any other
provisions of law, no person shall
generally be subject to penalty for
failing to comply with a collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB No. 1240–0025.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
This ICR seeks approval under the
PRA for an extension of an existing
collection titled Notice of Termination,
Suspension, Reduction, or Increase in
Benefit Payments. Coal mine operators,
their representatives, or their insurers
who have been identified as responsible
for paying benefits under the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901
et seq., to an eligible miner or an eligible
surviving dependent of the miner are
called Responsible Operators (RO’s).
RO’s that pay benefits are required to
report any change in the benefit amount
to the Department of Labor (DOL). The
CM 908, when completed and sent to
DOL, notifies DOL of the change in the
beneficiary’s benefit amount and the
reason for the change. This information
collection is required under the BLBA
and 20 CFR 725.621.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB

[Docket No. 20–CRB–0009–SD (2019)]
Distribution of 2019 Satellite Royalty
Funds
Copyright Royalty Board,
Library of Congress.
ACTION: Notice requesting comments.
AGENCY:
The Copyright Royalty Judges
solicit comments on a motion of
Allocation Phase claimants for partial
distribution of 2019 satellite royalty
funds.
DATES: Comments are due on or before
July 26, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested claimants must
submit timely comments using eCRB,
the Copyright Royalty Board’s online
electronic filing application, at https://
app.crb.gov.
Instructions: All submissions must
include a reference to the CRB and
docket number 20–CRB–0009–SD
(2019). All submissions will be posted
without change to eCRB at https://
app.crb.gov including any personal
information provided.
Docket: For access to the docket to
read submitted background documents
or comments, go to eCRB, the Copyright
Royalty Board’s online electronic filing
and case management system, at https://
app.crb.gov and search for docket No.
20–CRB–0009–SD (2019).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Anita Blaine, CRB Program Specialist,
by telephone at (202) 707–7658 or email
at crb@loc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
satellite providers must submit royalty
payments to the Register of Copyrights
as required by the statutory license set
forth in section 119 of the Copyright Act
for the retransmission to satellite
subscribers of over-the-air television
broadcast signals. See 17 U.S.C. 119(b).
The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges)
oversee distribution of royalties to
copyright owners whose works were
included in a qualifying transmission
and who timely filed a claim for
royalties.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00173
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Allocation of the royalties collected
occurs in one of two ways. In the first
instance, the Judges may authorize
distribution in accordance with a
negotiated settlement among all
claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(A),
801(b)(3)(A). If all claimants do not
reach an agreement with respect to the
royalties, the Judges must conduct a
proceeding to determine the distribution
of any royalties that remain in
controversy. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(B),
801(b)(3)(B). Alternatively, the Judges
may, on motion of claimants and on
notice to all interested parties, authorize
a partial distribution of royalties,
reserving on deposit sufficient funds to
resolve identified disputes. 17 U.S.C.
119(b)(5)(C), 801(b)(3)(C).
On June 10, 2021, representatives of
all the Allocation Phase (formerly
‘‘Phase I’’) claimant categories 1 filed
with the Judges a motion requesting a
partial distribution amounting to 40% of
the 2019 satellite royalty funds on
deposit pursuant to section 801(b)(3)(C)
of the Copyright Act. That statutory
section requires that, before ruling on
the motion, the Judges publish a notice
in the Federal Register seeking
responses to the motion for partial
distribution to ascertain whether any
claimant entitled to receive the subject
royalties has a reasonable objection to
the requested distribution. 17 U.S.C.
801(b)(3)(C).
Accordingly, this notice seeks
comments from interested claimants on
whether any reasonable objection exists
that would preclude the distribution of
40% of the 2019 satellite royalty funds
to the Allocation Phase Claimants.
Parties objecting to the proposed partial
distribution must advise the Judges of
the existence and extent of all their
objections by the end of the comment
period. The Judges will not consider any
objections with respect to the partial
distribution motion that come to their
attention after the close of the comment
period.
Members of the public may read the
motion by accessing the Copyright
Royalty Board’s electronic filing and
case management system at https://
app.crb.gov and searching for Docket
No. 20–CRB–0009–SD (2019).
1 The representatives are Program Suppliers; Joint
Sports Claimants; Commercial Television Claimants
Group; Devotional Claimants; Broadcast Music,
Inc.; American Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers; and SESAC, Inc., which represent
traditionally recognized claimant categories. The
Judges have not determined, and do not by this
notice determine, the universe of claimant
categories for 2019 satellite retransmission
royalties.
