COPYRIGHT OFFICE REQUESTS COMMENTS ON PROPOSED RULEMAKING
The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is requesting comment on proposed regulations that set rates and terms for the use of sound recordings in eligible nonsubscription transmissions made by noncommercial licensees, and for the making of related ephemeral recordings. The rates and terms are for the 2003 and 2004 statutory licensing period and apply only to noncommercial licensees who have not elected to accept rates and terms negotiated earlier this year under the Small Webcaster Settlement Act. Any party who objects to the proposed rates and terms set forth must file a written objection with the Copyright Office and an accompanying Notice of Intent to Participate. The content of the written challenge should describe the party's interest in the proceeding, the proposed rule the party finds objectionable, and the reasons for the challenge. Only a party with a significant interest in these rates and terms and who is prepared to participate in a CARP (Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel) proceeding has standing to object. If no comments are received, the regulations shall become final pon publication of a final rule and shall cover the period from January 1, 2003, to December 31, 2004. Comments are due no later than September 22, 2003. (read details).
