claim for royalties. Allocation of the
royalties collected occurs in one of two
ways. In the first instance, these funds
will be distributed through a negotiated
settlement among the parties. 17 U.S.C.
111(d)(4)(A). If the claimants do not
reach an agreement with respect to the
royalties, the Copyright Royalty Judges
(‘‘Judges’’) must conduct a proceeding to
determine the distribution of any
royalties that remain in controversy. 17
U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(B).
On June 20, 2012, representatives of
the Phase I claimant categories (the
‘‘Phase I Parties’’) 1 filed with the Judges
a motion requesting a partial
distribution of 50% of the 2010 cable
royalty funds pursuant to Section
801(b)(3)(C) of the Copyright Act. 17
U.S.C. 801(b)(3)(C). Under that section
of the Copyright Act, before ruling on a
partial distribution motion the Judges
must publish a notice in the Federal
Register seeking responses to the
motion to ascertain whether any
claimant entitled to receive such royalty
fees has a reasonable objection to the
proposed distribution. Consequently,
this Notice seeks comments from
interested claimants on whether any
reasonable objection exists that would
preclude the distribution of 50% of the
2010 cable royalty funds to the Phase I
Parties. The Judges must be advised of
the existence and extent of all such
objections by the end of the comment
period. The Judges will not consider any
objections with respect to the partial
distribution motion that come to their
attention after the close of that period.
The Judges also seek comment on the
existence and extent of any
controversies to the 2010 cable royalty
funds at Phase I or Phase II with respect
to those funds that would remain if the
partial distribution is granted.
The Motion of Phase I Claimants for
Partial Distribution is posted on the
Copyright Royalty Board Web site at

submitting the ICR to OMB for review
and approval according to the procedure
prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12.
Executive Order 12862, ‘‘Setting
Customer Service Standards,’’ mandates
agencies to identify their customers and
survey them to determine the kind and
quality of services they want and their
level of satisfaction with existing
services. The MSPB’s customers and
stakeholders include persons who file
appeals with MSPB for agency actions
taken against them (appellants), their
representatives, and representatives of
the agency which took the action.
These surveys will be used to evaluate
how well we are serving our customers
in terms of their perceptions of
timeliness, fairness, accessibility, and
sensitivity to their situation in deciding
their appeals. We also have used
customer surveys to determine the
usefulness of the reports issued by the
Office of Policy & Evaluation. As a
result of these surveys we have
established baseline performance
measures for both our appeals process
and merit systems review
responsibilities.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for

stratified random sampling to facilitate
