  <title><![CDATA[  Fees for Special Handling of Registration Claims ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-08-10-E9-19101</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is publishing 
an interim rule relating to fees for special handling of registration 
claims that have been pending for at least six months. Special handling 
is the expedited processing of an application and is granted in certain 
circumstances when compelling reasons are present. Ordinarily a special 
handling fee is charged for special handling in addition to the regular 
fee for an application to register a copyright claim. Because of 
current delays in the processing of applications for registration 
occurring in the course of the Office's implementation of its business 
process reengineering program, the Office has determined that the 
special handling fee shall not be assessed for conversion of a pending 
application to special handling status when the application has been 
pending for more than six months and the applicant has satisfied the 
Office that expedited handling of the registration is needed because 
the applicant is about to file a suit for c<script type="text/javascript">

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-07-15-E9-16675</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is proposing 
to amend its regulations governing mandatory deposit of electronic 
works published in the United States and available only online. The 
amendments would establish that such works are exempt from mandatory 
deposit until a demand for deposit of copies or phonorecords of such 
works is issued by the Copyright Office. They would also set forth the 
process for issuing and responding to a demand for deposit, amend the 
definition of a ``complete copy'' of a work for purposes of mandatory 
deposit of onlineonly works, and establish new best edition criteria 
for electronic serials available only online. The Copyright Office 
seeks public comment on these proposed revisions.

  <title><![CDATA[  Fees ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-07-09-E9-16126</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is publishing 
a final rule establishing adjusted fees for its services. The adjusted 
fees will recover a significant part of the costs to the Office of 
registering claims and provide full cost recovery for many other 
services provided by the Office which benefit only or primarily the 
user of that service. The new fees are based on reliable information 
regarding the costs of providing services, and reflect cost savings 
associated with the implementation of electronic processing in the 
Copyright Office in 2007. Under the new fee structure, the fee for 
online registration of a basic claim will remain $35. The registration 
fee for Form CO will be raised from $45 to $50 and the registration fee 
for paper filings of Forms PA, SR, TX, VA, SE and faulty CO will be 
raised from $45 to $65. In a few instances, fees have been adjusted 
downward from the fees published in the notice of proposed rulemaking 
in light of comments received from the public.

satellite carriers based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index. This 
year, the change in the Consumer Price Index for the relevant time 
period was 0.03%, a change so small that the rates remain unaffected 
for the 2009 licensing period.

  <title><![CDATA[  Review of Copyright Royalty Judges Determination ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2009-01-26-E9-1444</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Register of Copyrights issues the following decision 
identifying and correcting erroneous resolutions of material questions 
of substantive law under title 17 that underlie or are contained in the 
Copyright Royalty Judges' final determination regarding adjustment of 
reasonable rates and terms of royalty payments for the making and 
distribution of phonorecords of musical works, Docket No. 20063 CRB 
DPRA. The Register concludes that the Copyright Royalty Judges 
erroneously did not refer two novel questions of law as required under 
the statute; that they were in error in their conclusions regarding 
both their and the Register's authority to review regulations submitted 
to them under an agreement by the participants; and that their 
conclusion that they could not review the agreement submitted by the 
participants led to the inclusion of regulations that constitute 
erroneous resolution by the CRJs of material questions of substantive 
law under title 17. This decision corrects such errors and shall<script type="text/javascript">
