SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 of the Copyright Act, 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 of the Copyright Act allows a service to make necessary 
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate digital transmission of the sound 
recordings. 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 (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 royalties to 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), and 
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 August 8, 2024, SoundExchange filed with the Judges a notice of 
intent to audit Salem Media Group for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023.
