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.
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 agreement 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),
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00095
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
17271
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 March 9, 2023, 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 2020 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 2020 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. 21–CRB–0009–SD (2020 SD).
Dated: March 16, 2023.
