operating under the blanket license to

The Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte
Music Modernization Act (the ‘‘MMA’’)
substantially modified the compulsory
‘‘mechanical’’ license for reproducing
and distributing phonorecords of
nondramatic musical works under 17
U.S.C. 115.1 It did so by switching from
a song-by-song licensing system to a
blanket licensing regime that became
available on January 1, 2021 (the
‘‘license availability date’’),
administered by a mechanical licensing
collective (the ‘‘MLC’’) designated by
the Copyright Office (the ‘‘Office’’).2
Digital music providers (‘‘DMPs’’) are
able to obtain this new statutory
mechanical blanket license (the
‘‘blanket license’’) to make digital
phonorecord deliveries of nondramatic
musical works, including in the form of
permanent downloads, limited
downloads, or interactive streams
(referred to in the statute as ‘‘covered
activity’’ where such activity qualifies
for a blanket license), subject to various
requirements, including reporting and
payment obligations.3 The MLC is
tasked with collecting royalties from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
During the period from December 1,

granted three exemptions in response to
requests submitted by the licensee,
Constellation Energy Generation, LLC
