ACTION: Public notice. AGENCY: The Copyright Royalty Judges announce receipt from SoundExchange, Inc., of notice of intent to audit the 2019, 2020, and 2021 statements of account submitted by Sirius XM Radio Inc.’s Commercial Webcaster service, Preexisting Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service, New Subscription Service, and Business Establishment Service concerning royalty payments they made pursuant to two statutory licenses. ADDRESSES: Docket: For access to the dockets to read background documents, go to eCRB at https://app.crb.gov and perform a case search for docket 22– CRB–0007–AU (Sirius XM). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anita Brown, (202) 707–7658, crb@ loc.gov. SUMMARY: The Copyright Act 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 right is limited by the statutory license in section 114, which allows nonexempt noninteractive digital subscription services, eligible nonsubscription 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 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:31 Nov 30, 2022 Jkt 259001 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 codified in 37 CFR parts 380 and 382–84. As one of the terms for these licenses, the Judges designated SoundExchange, Inc., (SoundExchange) as the Collective, i.e., the organization charged with collecting the royalty payments and statements of account submitted by licensees, including those that operate commercial webcaster services, preexisting satellite digital audio radio services, new subscription services, and those that make ephemeral copies for transmission to business establishments. The Collective is also charged with distributing the royalties to the copyright owners and performers entitled to receive them under the section 112 and 114 licenses. See 37 CFR 380.4(d)(1), 382.5(d)(1), 383.4(a), 384.4(b)(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 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 37 CFR 380.6(b), 382.7(b), 383.4(a) and 384.6(b). On November 1, 2022, SoundExchange filed with the Judges a notice of intent to audit Sirius XM Radio Inc. for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021.1 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 37 CFR 380.6(c) 382.7(c), 383.4(a) and 384.6(c). This notice fulfills the Judges’ publication obligation with respect to SoundExchange’s November 1, 2022 notice of intent to audit Sirius XM Radio Inc. for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The NRC received a license renewal application (LRA) from Vistra, 
dated October 3, 2022 (ADAMS Accession No. ML22276A082), filed pursuant 
to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and part 54 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power 
Plants,'' to renew the operating licenses for CPNPP at 3,612 megawatt 
thermal each. The CPNPP units are pressurized-water reactors and are 
located in Somervell County, Texas. A notice of receipt of the LRA was 
published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2022 (87 FR 65617).
    The NRC staff determined that Vistra has submitted sufficient 
information in accordance with 10 CFR 54.19, 54.21, 54.22, 54.23, 
51.45, and 51.53(c), to enable the staff to undertake a review of the 
application, and that the application is, therefore, acceptable for 
docketing. The current Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446 for Facility 
Operating License Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89, respectively, will be 
retained. The determination to accept the LRA for docketing does not 
constitute a determination that a renewed operating license should be 
issued and does not preclude the NRC staff from requesting additional 
information as the review proceeds.
    Before issuance of the requested renewed licenses, the NRC will 
have made the findings required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations. In accordance with 10 CFR 54.29, the NRC may issue a 
renewed license on the basis of its review if it finds that actions 
have been identified and have been or will be taken with respect to: 
(1) managing the effects of aging during the period of extended 
operation on the functionality of structures and components that have 
been identified as requiring aging management review; and (2) time-
limited aging analyses that have been identified as requiring review, 
such that there is reasonable assurance that the activities authorized 
by the renewed licenses will continue to be conducted in accordance 
with the current licensing basis and that any changes made to the 
plant's current licensing basis will comply with the Act and the 
Commission's regulations.
    Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 51.95(c), the NRC will 
prepare an environmental impact statement as a supplement to the 
Commission's NUREG-1437, ``Generic Environmental Impact Statement for 
License Renewal of Nuclear Power Plants,'' dated June 2013 (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML13106A241). In considering the LRA, the Commission must 
find that the applicable requirements of subpart A of 10 CFR part 51 
have been satisfied, and that any matters raised under 10 CFR 2.335 
have been addressed. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.26, and as part of the 
environmental scoping process, the staff intends to hold public scoping 
meetings. Detailed information regarding the environmental scoping 
meetings will be the subject of a separate Federal Register notice.

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to 
Intervene

    Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any 
persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by this action may 
file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to intervene 
(petition) with respect to the action. Petitions shall be filed in 
accordance with the Commission's ``Agency Rules of Practice and 
Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a 
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. If a petition is filed, the presiding 
officer will rule on the petition and, if appropriate, a notice of a 
hearing will be issued.
    Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with the filing instructions 
in the ``Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)'' section of this document. 
Petitions and motions for leave to file new or amended contentions that 
are filed after the deadline will not be entertained absent a 
determination by the presiding officer that the filing demonstrates 
good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) 
through (iii).
    A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian 
Tribe, or designated agency thereof, may submit a petition to the 
Commission to participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h) no later 
than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. 
Alternatively, a State, local governmental body, Federally recognized 
Indian Tribe, or agency thereof may participate as a non-party under 10 
CFR 2.315(c).

requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in 
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. The E-Filing process requires 
participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the 
internet, or in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media, 
unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as further 
discussed, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic submissions is 
located in the ``Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC'' 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) and on the NRC's public website at 
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
    To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the 
Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], or by 
telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital identification (ID) 
certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or 
representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing 
system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise 
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or 
other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the 
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the 
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the 
Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.

    Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is 
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. After a digital ID certificate is 
obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit adjudicatory 
documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is 
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the 
time the document is submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be 
timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system 
no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on the due date. Upon receipt of a 
transmission, the E-Filing system time-stamps the document and sends 
the submitter an email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing 
system also distributes an email that provides access to the document 
to the NRC's Office of the General Counsel and any others who have 
advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in 
the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the document on those 
participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants 
(or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a 
digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are filed to 
obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing system.
    A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic 
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's 
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by 
email to [email protected], or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-
7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9:00 
a.m. and 6:00 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    Participants who believe that they have good cause for not 
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in 
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing 
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and 
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper 
format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 
2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner 
are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants. 
Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still 
meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), 
unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10 
CFR 2.302(g)(1).
    Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the 
NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the 
presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued digital ID 
certificate as previously described, click ``cancel'' when the link 
requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the 
NRC's electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access any 
publicly available documents in a particular hearing docket. 
Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information 
such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone 
numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires 
submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works, 
except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory 
filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants 
should not include copyrighted materials in their submission.
    Information about the license renewal process can be found under 
the Nuclear Reactors icon at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal.html on the NRC's public website. Copies of the 
application to renew the operating licenses for CPNPP are available for 
public inspection at the NRC's PDR, and on the NRC's public website at 
https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications.html. The application may be accessed in ADAMS through the 
NRC Library on the internet at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html under ADAMS Accession No. ML22276A082. As previously stated, 
persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in 
accessing the documents located in ADAMS may contact the NRC's PDR 
reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or 301-415-4737, or by 
email to [email protected].
