Distribution of Cable Royalty Funds; Distribution of Satellite 
Royalty Funds

AGENCY: Copyright Royalty Board, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Final Distribution Determination.

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

SUMMARY: The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) announce final 
distribution of a portion of cable and satellite royalty funds for the 
years 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The determination results from 
agreement among the participants that claim shares of the funds to be 
allocated to the Devotional Claimant category. The Judges issued their 
initial determination to the participants on July 19, 2018.

DATES: Applicable: August 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The final distribution order is also published in eCRB at 
https://app.crb.gov/ and on the Federal eRulemaking Portal at 
www.regulations.gov.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read submitted background 
documents, go to eCRB, the Copyright Royalty Board's electronic filing 
and case management system, at https://app.crb.gov/ and search for 
docket number 14-CRB-0010-CD/SD (2010-13).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anita Blaine, CRB Program Specialist, 
by telephone at (202) 707-7658 or email at crb@loc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This matter is before the Copyright Royalty 
Judges (Judges) on motion of Multigroup Claimants (MGC) for entry of a 
consent order adopting the distribution shares proposed by the Settling 
Devotional Claimants (SDC) and ordering a final distribution of cable 
and satellite television royalty funds to be allocated to the 
Devotional Claimants category in conformity with those agreed 
shares.\1\ The SDC do not oppose the final percentage distribution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Allocation of cable royalty funds to the Devotional 
Claimants category remains the subject of the allocation proceeding, 
Docket No. 14-CRB-0010 CD (2010-13). The schedule in the proceeding 
to determine allocation of satellite royalty funds among claimant 
categories, Docket No. 14-CRB-0011 SD (2010-13) is suspended pending 
completion of the cable allocation proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Judges find that the parties' agreement regarding the final 
percentage distribution ends any remaining controversy with regard to 
the subject funds over which the Judges have jurisdiction and that 
neither party retains a significant interest related to this 
proceeding. Accordingly, good cause exists for entry of a final 
distribution determination relating to the subject funds.
    The Judges therefore order that the royalty shares proposed in the 
SDC's Written Direct Statement (Dec. 29, 2017) are adopted, and that 
final distribution of the cable and satellite royalty funds allocated 
to the Devotional category shall be in accordance with the following 
relative shares.

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

    The Judges further order that, as the parties have presented this 
as an agreed determination, they have waived their rights to seek 
rehearing.
    The Judges further order that this final distribution determination 
is without prejudice to the parties' right to appeal the Judges' 
interlocutory ruling in this consolidated proceeding with regard to 
both cable and satellite claims issues.
    Upon issuance of this final determination, the Register of 
Copyrights (Register) shall have 60 days to conduct a statutory review. 
The Librarian of Congress shall review and cause this final 
determination, and any correction thereto by the Register, to be 
published in the Federal Register no later than the conclusion of the 
60-day review period.
July 18, 2018.
    So ordered.
