Determination of Royalty Rates for Secondary Transmissions of 
Broadcasts by Satellite Carriers and Distributors

AGENCY: Copyright Royalty Board, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Notice of Commencement of Proceeding and Solicitation of 
Petitions to Participate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) announce commencement of 
a proceeding to determine rates for the satellite carrier statutory 
license described in section 119 of the Copyright Act for the license 
period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2019.

DATES: Effective Date: March 30, 2015.
    Applicability Dates: These regulations apply to the license period 
January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019.

ADDRESSES: This notice and request is also posted on the agency's Web 
site (www.loc.gov/crb) and on Regulations.gov (www.regulations.gov). 
Parties who plan to participate should see How to Submit Petitions to 
Participate in the Supplementary Information section below for physical 
addresses and further instructions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Strasser, Senior Attorney, or 
Kimberly Whittle, Attorney Advisor, by telephone at (202) 707-7658 or 
email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 4, 2014, Congress passed the 
STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014. Public Law 113-200. The provisions 
of the reauthorization act extend the satellite carrier statutory 
license provisions of the Copyright Act (Act) to December 31, 2019. See 
17 U.S.C. 119(a). Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 119(c)(1)(F), the Judges 
announce initiation of a proceeding to be conducted under chapter 8 of 
the Act. Entities wishing to participate in the rate-setting period 
must file a Petition to Participate and pay the $150 filing fee.
    After receiving all Petitions to Participate, the Judges will give 
notice to all parties in interest and commence the Voluntary 
Negotiation Period, during which affected parties may agree on 
acceptable, applicable rates. If the parties agree, the Judges will 
give public notice of the agreed rates and consider comments in 
response to the notice. Once the rates are established, they may be 
subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment under 17 U.S.C. 
119(c)(2).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Judges did not give notice of a rate adjustment for 2015 
because of the sunset provision relating to the statutory satellite 
retransmission license. See 17 U.S.C. 119 (c)(1)(E). With the STELA 
Reauthorization Act in place, the Judges now initiate this 
proceeding to determine rates for the period 2015 to 2019, 
inclusive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
