ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Copyright Office is amending its regulations governing registration, recordation, licensing, and other services that the Office provides. The amendments will improve the quality of the Office's regulations by updating cross-references to the Copyright Act and the Office's regulations, replacing outdated terminology, reflecting structural changes to the Office and its senior management, eliminating expired or obsolete provisions, and correcting nonsubstantive errors.

Smith, Deputy General Counsel, [email protected]; or Erik Bertin, Deputy Director of Registration Policy and Practice, [email protected]. Each person can be reached by telephone at 202-707-8040. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On October 3, 2016, the U.S. Copyright Office (``Office'') published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM'') setting forth proposed regulatory amendments designed to improve the quality of the Office's [[Page 9355]] regulations through several technical amendments. 81 FR 67940. No comments were received in response to the NPRM. II. Final Rule There was no opposition to the proposed rule. Accordingly, the proposed rule is adopted with the following technical revisions made to reflect subsequent developments made after publication of the NPRM. Since issuing the NPRM, the Copyright Office created the position of the Chief Financial Officer (``CFO''), a senior staff position that serves under the Register and oversees all financial, budgetary, and procurement activities for the Copyright Office. The final rule reflects this addition to the Office's senior staff by adding the title and description of the CFO to 37 CFR 203.3(i) and revising the description of the Office of the Chief of Operations in 37 CFR 203.3(b). The final rule also contains two deletions to the regulations of the former Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (``CARP'') found in subchapter B of the Copyright Office's regulations. The NPRM removed all of the CARP regulations, with the exception of the two sections governing legacy royalty rates and terms under the cable compulsory license in 37 CFR part 256 and legacy royalty rates and terms for coin- operated phonorecords in 37 CFR part 251. See 81 FR 67940, 67942. Between publication of the NPRM and this final rule, the Copyright Royalty Board, the royalty tribunal that replaced the CARP, relocated the regulations governing both of these sections. See 81 FR 62812, 62813 (Sept. 13, 2016) and 37 CFR part 387 (cable compulsory license); 81 FR 83141 (Nov. 21, 2016) and 37 CFR part 388 (coin-operated phonorecord player compulsory license). Since the Copyright Royalty Board has relocated these provisions, parts 254 and 256 can now be removed from the former Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel Rules and Procedures and reserved, which finalizes removal and reservation subchapter B of chapter II of title 37 of the CFR. The final rule also amends 37 CFR 202.3(b)(2)(i) to remove the reference to submission of registration applications ``through the Copyright Office Web site [copyright.gov],'' to accommodate applications by electronic submissions that do not use the Copyright Office Web site. Additionally, the final rule removes two cross- references to 37 CFR 201.9, which is being removed and reserved. * * * * * List of Subjects 37 CFR Part 201 Copyright, General provisions. 37 CFR Part 202 Copyright, Preregistration and registration of claims to copyright. 37 CFR Part 203 Freedom of information. 37 CFR Part 204 Privacy. 37 CFR Part 205 Legal processes. 37 CFR Part 210 Copyright, Phonorecords, Recordings. 37 CFR Part 211 Mask work. 37 CFR Part 212 Design, Vessel hulls, Registration. 37 CFR Part 253 Copyright, Public broadcasting entities, Radio, Television. 37 CFR Part 254 Copyright, Jukeboxes. 37 CFR Part 255 Copyright, Music, Recordings. 37 CFR Part 256 Copyright, Cable television. 37 CFR Part 258 Copyright, Satellite, Rates. 37 CFR Parts 260 Through 263 Copyright, Digital audio transmissions, Performance right, Sound recordings. 37 CFR part 270 Copyright, Sound recordings.

(e) * * * (7) The designation ``Gross Receipts'', followed by the gross amount paid to the cable system by subscribers for the basic service of providing secondary transmissions of primary broadcast transmissions during the period covered by the Statement of Account. (i) If the cable system maintains its revenue accounts on an accrual basis, gross receipts for any accounting period includes all such amounts accrued for secondary transmission service furnished during that period, regardless of when accrued: [[Page 9358]] (A) Less the amount of any bad debts actually written-off during that accounting period; (B) Plus the amount of any previously written-off bad debts for secondary transmission service which were actually recovered during that accounting period. (ii) If the cable system maintains its revenue accounts on a cash basis, gross receipts of any accounting period includes all such amounts actually received by the cable system during that accounting period. * * * * * (f) * * * (3) In computing the DSE of a primary transmitter in a particular case of carriage on or after July 1, 1981, the cable system may make no prorated adjustments other than those specified in 17 U.S.C. 111(f)(5)(B), and which remain in force under that provision. Two prorated adjustments, as prescribed in that section, are permitted under certain conditions where: (i) A station is carried on a part-time basis where full-time carriage is not possible because the cable system lacks the activated channel capacity to retransmit on a full-time basis all signals which it is authorized to carry; and (ii) A station is carried on a ``substitute'' basis under rules, regulations, or authorizations of the FCC in effect on October 19, 1976 (as defined in 17 U.S.C. 111(f)(5)(B)(ii)), which permitted a cable system, at its election, to omit the retransmission of a particular program and substitute another program in its place. * * * * * (i) * * * (3) It shall be presumed that the 3.75% rate of 37 CFR 308.2(c) applies to DSEs accruing from newly added distant signals, carried for the first time by a cable system after June 24, 1981. The presumption of this section can be rebutted in whole or in part: (i) By actual carriage of a particular distant signal prior to June 25, 1981, as reported in Statements of Account duly filed with the Copyright Office (``actual carriage''), unless the prior carriage was not permitted by the FCC; or (ii) By carriage of no more than the number of distant signals which was or would have been allotted to the cable system under the FCC's quota for importation of network and nonspecialty independent stations (47 CFR 76.59(b), 76.61(b) and (c), and 76.63, referring to Sec. 76.61(b) and (c), in effect on June 24, 1981). * * * * * Sec. 201.18 [Amended] 0 19.
