audio radio services to perform publicly

addition, a statutory license in section
112 allows a service to make necessary
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate
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

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).

of the grant, or on the occurrence of
certain events. The collected
information is used by NASA to
effectively maintain an appropriate
internal control system for equipment
and property provided or acquired

agreements with institutions of higher
