HR 1036 Passes House; Goes to President for Signature
On September 25, 2006, the House of Representatives agreed to a Senate
amendment to HR 1036, the “Copyright Royalty Judges Program Technical
Corrections Act,” thus clearing the bill for the President's signature.
Among other provisions, the Act provides that the Copyright Royalty
Judges are subject to the Administrative Procedure Act; that they
must consider certain Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel determinations
and interpretations among precedents; that they allow certain petitioners
to participate in a proceeding without a filing fee; that they
may make a partial distribution of cable and satellite royalty
fees after the filing of claims for distribution of such fees;
and that they may issue an amendment to a written determination
concerning technical and clerical errors and to modify terms under certain
conditions. The Act is effective as if it were included in the Copyright
Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004, except that the provision for
partial distribution of royalty fees is effective upon enactment. (Read
