who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
New collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Annual Treatment Court Survey Series.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
[Insert Agency Form Number(s) from
Question 8 on OMB Form 83–I, or if
there is no form number insert ‘‘There
is no agency form number for this
collection.’’]. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
Bureau of Justice Assistance.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The Local ATCS (N=4,172
courts), Tribal ATCS (N=117 courts),
and State Coordinator (N=54 state/
territory court coordinators) address the
structure (e.g., funding, personnel,
partnerships), operation (e.g., services
offered, eligibility, decision making),
and successes and challenges (e.g.,
adherence to or deviance from best
practices; racial, ethnic, and gender
disparity or equity). The purpose of the
ATCS is to develop a current portrait of
treatment courts including needs and
emerging trends.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Overall, the ATCS Series uses
three national population frames,
totaling 4,343 courts and offices for
court administration. Data collection
uses these full population frames;
samples from these population frames
are not created for collection purposes.
The national population frame for the
Local ATCS contains each of the
treatment courts across the country
(N=4,172) with one respondent from
each court, and the tribal courts across
the country constitute the population
frame for the Tribal ATCS (N=117) with
one respondent from each court. All
state/territory court coordinators (N=54)
comprise the population frame for the
State Coordinator ATCS. Estimated
amounts of time to complete the surveys
in the ATCS Series are 20 minutes for
the State Coordinator ATCS, 35 minutes
for the Local ATCs, and 35 for the Tribal
ATCS.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: Using the maximum
response rate of 100%, the total annual
hours for the ATCS Series is
approximately 2,502 hours across the
4,343 courts in the population frames.
Specifically, total completion time of
the State Coordinator ATCS is an
estimated 18 hours (20 minutes for each
of the 54 potential respondents); the
Local ATCS’s total completion time is
estimated at 2,433.67 hours (35 minutes
for each of the 4,172 potential courts).
The total time to complete the Tribal
ATCS across the tribal population frame
is 68.25 hours (35 minutes for each of
the 117 tribal courts).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
Twice each year, cable system
operators must deposit with the
Copyright Office royalties payable for
the privilege of retransmitting by cable
over-the-air television and radio
broadcast signals. 17 U.S.C. 111. The
Judges oversee distribution of the
royalties to copyright owners whose
works are included in the
retransmissions and who have filed a
timely claim for royalties. This notice
announces the commencement of a
proceeding under 17 U.S.C. 803(b)(1) for
distribution of cable royalties deposited
for transmissions made in 2014, 2015,
2016, and 2017.
ANY PARTY WISHING TO RECEIVE
ROYALTIES PAYABLE FOR 2014
THROUGH 2017 MUST FILE A
PETITION TO PARTICIPATE AT THIS
TIME. THE JUDGES SHALL DEEM ANY
PETITION TO PARTICIPATE FILED
PURSUANT TO THIS NOTICE AS A
PETITION TO PARTICIPATE IN BOTH
THE ALLOCATION PHASE AND THE
DISTRIBUTION PHASE OF THIS
PROCEEDING. IN ORDER TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE DISTRIBUTION
PHASE, ALL PETITIONERS MUST
PARTICIPATE FULLY AND IN GOOD
FAITH IN THE ALLOCATION PHASE.
IF AN INTERESTED PARTY FAILS TO
FILE A PETITION TO PARTICIPATE IN
RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE, THAT
PARTY SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR
DISTRIBUTION OF ROYALTY FUNDS
FOR 2014 THROUGH 2017. ANY
PARTY THAT FILED A PETITION TO
PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE
PROCEEDINGS CONSOLIDATED IN
THIS PROCEEDING MUST
NONETHELESS FILE A PETITION TO
PARTICIPATE IN THIS
CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING.
The Judges will resolve all issues
relating to distribution of cable royalty
funds for 2014 through 2017 in this
proceeding, Docket No. 16–CRB–0009
CD (2014–17). See 37 CFR 351.1(b)(2)
Commencement of Distribution
Proceeding
As required by 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(8),
the Judges gave notice of their intention
to commence this consolidated
proceeding in order to determine
whether a controversy exists. See 83 FR
56106 (Nov. 9, 2018). The Judges
received responses from 12 entities
representing claimants to the royalty
funds at issue. The responsive
comments establish that controversies
exist with respect to distribution of
royalties in each year’s fund. The
Judges, therefore, commence this
proceeding to determine appropriate
allocation of the royalty funds among
claimant groups and ultimate
distribution of royalties to eligible
claimants.
Petitions To Participate
Parties filing Petitions to Participate
must comply with the requirements of
§ 351.1(b) of the Judges’ regulations. In
addition, each Petition to Participate
must identify for each claim year, the
name of each claimant, the
corresponding claim number, an
indication of whether the claim is an
individual or joint claim, and the
program category into which the claim
may fall.
Any claimant whose claim does not
exceed $1,000 in value and who
includes a statement in its Petition to
Participate that the claimant will not
seek distribution of more than $1,000
may file the Petition to Participate
without payment of the filing fee. 37
CFR 351.1(b)(4).
How To Submit Petitions To Participate
Interested parties with claims
exceeding $1,000 must submit a filing
fee of $150 with their Petition to
Participate, or the Judges will reject the
petition. THE COPYRIGHT ROYALTY
BOARD WILL NOT ACCEPT CASH.
Parties filing online through eCRB
must pay the filing fee, if applicable, by
credit card using the payment portal on
eCRB. Any party without access to the
internet must pay the filing fee by check
or money order made payable to the
‘‘Copyright Royalty Board’’ and mailed
or delivered with its filed paper
documents and CD as described in the
ADDRESSES
section above. If a check is
returned for lack of sufficient funds, the
Judges will dismiss the corresponding
Petition to Participate.
Any participant that is an individual
may represent herself or himself; all
other participants must be represented
by counsel. In accordance with 37 CFR
350.2, only attorneys who are members
of the bar in one or more states or the
District of Columbia and in good
standing will be allowed to represent
parties before the Copyright Royalty
Judges. The Judges will address further
procedural matters, including
scheduling, after receiving Petitions to
Participate.
