PART 270_NOTICE AND RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS FOR STATUTORY LICENSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 270.5  Designated collection and distribution organizations for records of use of sound recordings under statutory license.

    (a) General. This section prescribes rules under which records of 
use shall be collected and distributed under section 114(f) of title 17 
of the United States Code, and under which records of such use shall be 
kept and made available.
    (b) Definitions. (1) A Collective is a collection and distribution 
organization that is designated under the statutory license, either by 
settlement agreement reached under section 114(f)(1)(A) or section 
114(f)(1)(C)(i) and adopted pursuant to 37 CFR 251.63(b), or by decision 
of a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) under section 
114(f)(1)(B) or section 114(f)(1)(C)(ii), or by an order of the 
Librarian pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 802(f).
    (2) A Service is an entity engaged in the digital transmission of 
sound recordings pursuant to section 114(f) of title 17 of the United 
States Code.
    (c) Notice of Designation as Collective under Statutory License. A 
Collective shall file with the Licensing Division of the Copyright 
Office and post and make available online a ``Notice of Designation as 
Collective under Statutory License,'' which shall be identified as such 
by prominent caption or heading, and shall contain the following 
information:
    (1) The Collective name, address, telephone number and facsimile 
number;
    (2) A statement that the Collective has been designated for 
collection and distribution of performance royalties under statutory 
license for digital transmission of sound recordings; and
    (3) Information on how to gain access to the online website or home 
page of the Collective, where information may be posted under this part

Collective operates, how royalties are collected and distributed, and

    (e) Inspection of Reports of Use by copyright owners. The Collective 
shall make copies of the Reports of Use for the preceding three years 
available for inspection by any sound recording copyright owner, without 
charge, during normal office hours upon reasonable notice. The 
Collective shall predicate inspection of Reports of Use upon information 
relating to identity, location and status as a sound recording copyright 
owner, and the copyright owner's written agreement not to utilize the 
information for purposes other than royalty collection and distribution, 
and determining compliance with statutory license requirements, without 
express consent of the Service providing the Report of Use. The 
Collective shall render its best efforts to locate copyright owners in 
order to make available records of use, and such efforts shall include 
searches in Copyright Office public records and published directories of 
sound recording copyright owners.
    (f) Confidentiality. Copyright owners, their agents, and Collectives 
shall not disseminate information in the Reports of Use to any persons 
not entitled to it, nor utilize the information for purposes other than 
royalty collection and distribution, and determining compliance with 
statutory license requirements, without express consent of the Service 
providing the Report of Use.
    (g) Termination and dissolution. If a Collective terminates its 
collection and distribution operations prior to the close of its term of 
designation, the Collective shall notify the Copyright Office, and all 
Services transmitting sound recordings under statutory license, by 
certified or registered mail. The dissolving Collective shall provide 
each such Service with information identifying the copyright owners it 
has served.
