top

Except for decisions authorized by law to be made by a single Copyright Royalty Judge, determinations of the Board in a proceeding will be made by a majority of the Copyright Royalty Judges. The opinion or opinions of the majority and any dissenting opinion will be included in the determination. Each determination by the Board will be transmitted to the Register of Copyrights to enable review for consistency with the Copyright Act on the day it is issued.

§ 352.2   Timing.
top

The Copyright Royalty Board will issue its determination within 11 months of the date of the post-discovery settlement conference or 15 days before the expiration of the existing rates or terms in a proceeding to determine successors to rates or terms that will expire on a specific date, whichever date first occurs.

§ 352.3   Final determinations.
top

The determination by the Board in a proceeding will become final 15 days after it is issued, unless it is withdrawn by the Board on its own motion, suspended pending rehearing proceedings, or the Register of Copyrights advises the Board that its determination is inconsistent with the Copyright Act. The final determination will be published in the Federal Register.
