[NAFTA–03888]
Lear Corp., United Technologies,
Automotive, Inc.; Mold and Die Shop,
El Paso, TX; Amended Certification
Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment
Assistance
In accordance with Section 250(A),
Subchapter D, Chapter 2, Title II, of the
Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC 2273), the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification for NAFTA Transitional
Adjustment Assistance on July 11, 2000,
applicable to workers of Lear Corp.,
Mold and Die Shop, El Paso, Texas. The
notice was published in the Federal
Register on July 24, 2000 (65 FR 45621).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers inspected, modified and
assembled dies manufactured by outside
vendors but used by the subject firm for
crimping wire terminals. New
information received from the company
shows that on May 4, 1999, Lear Corp.
purchased United Technologies
Automotive, Inc. Information also
shows that workers separated from
employment at Lear Corp., Mold and
Die Shop had their wages reported
under a separate unemployment
insurance (UI) tax account for United
Technologies Automotive, Inc.
Accordingly, the Department is
amending the certification to properly
reflect this matter.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers of
Lear Corp., Mold and Die Shop, El Paso,
Texas who were adversely affected by
the shift of production to Mexico.
The amended notice applicable to
NAFTA–03888 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Lear Corp., United
Technologies Automotive, Inc., Mold and Die

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
satellite carriers submit royalties to the
Copyright Office for the retransmission
to their subscribers of over-the-air
broadcast signals. 17 U.S.C. 119. These
royalties are, in turn, distributed in one
of two ways to copyright owners whose
works were included in a
retransmission of an over-the-air
broadcast signal and who timely filed a
claim for royalties with the Copyright
Office. The copyright owners may either
negotiate the terms of a settlement as to
the division of the royalty funds, or the
Librarian of Congress may convene a
Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel
(‘‘CARP‘‘) to determine the distribution
of the royalty fees that remain in
controversy. See 17 U.S.C. chapter 8.
During the pendency of any
proceeding, however, the Librarian of
Congress may distribute any amounts
that are not in controversy, provided
that sufficient funds are withheld to
cover reasonable administrative costs
and to satisfy all claims with respect to
which a controversy exists under his
authority set forth in section
119(b)(4)(C) of the Copyright Act, title
17 of the United States Code. See, e.g.,
Order, Docket No. 97–1 CARP SD 92–95
(dated July 20, 1999).
On September 15, 2000,
representatives of the Phase I claimant
categories to which royalties have been
allocated in prior satellite distribution
proceedings filed a motion with the
Copyright Office for a partial
distribution of 75% of the 1996–1998
satellite royalty funds. The Office will
consider this motion after all interested
parties have been identified by filing the
Notices of Intention requested herein
and have had an opportunity to file
responses to the motion.
1. Comments on the Existence of
Controversies
Before commencing a distribution
proceeding or making a partial
distribution, the Librarian of Congress
must first ascertain whether a
pfrm03 PsN: 20SEN1
56942 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 20, 2000 / Notices
controversy exists as to the distribution
of the royalty funds and the extent of
those controversies. 17 U.S.C. 803(d).
Therefore, the Copyright Office is
requesting comment on the existence
and extent of any controversies, at Phase
I and Phase II, as to the distribution of
the 1996–1998 satellite funds.
In Phase I of a satellite royalty
distribution, royalties are distributed to
certain categories of broadcast
programming that has been
retransmitted by satellite carriers. The
categories have traditionally been
syndicated programming and movies,
sports, commercial and nonommerical
broadcaster-owned programing,
religious programming, and music
programming. We seek comments as to
controversies between these categories
for royalty distribution.
In Phase II of a satellite royalty
distribution, royalties are distributed to
claimants within a program category. If
a claimant anticipates a Phase II
controversy, the claimant must state
each program category in which he or
she has an interest that has not, by the
end of the comment period, been
satisfied through a settlement
agreement.
The Copyright Office must be advised
of all Phase I and Phase II controversies
and the extent of those controversies by
the end of the comment period. We will
not consider any controversies that
come to our attention after the close of
that period.
2. Notice of Intention To Participate
Those parties who have not settled
their claims to the 1996–1998 satellite
royalty funds and who wish to
participate in a CARP proceeding, either
at Phase I or Phase II, to resolve the
distribution must file a Notice of Intent
to Participate. Notices of Intent to
Participate are due no later than October
10, 2000. Failure to file a timely Notice
of Intent to Participate may preclude a
claimant or claimants from participating
in a CARP proceeding.
Section 251.45(a) of the rules, 37
C.F.R, requires that a Notice of Intent to
Participate must be filed in order to
participate in a CARP proceeding, but it
does not prescribe the contents of the
Notice. Recently, in another proceeding,
the Library has been forced to address
the issue of what constitutes a sufficient
Notice and to whom it is applicable. See
Orders in Docket No. 2002–2 CARP CD
93–97 (June 22, 2000, and August 1,
2000); see also 65 FR 54077 (September
6, 2000). These rulings will result in a
future amendment to § 251.45(a) to
specify the content of a properly filed
Notice. In the meantime, the Office
advises those parties filing Notices of
VerDate 11<MAY>2000 19:59 Sep 19, 2000
Intent to Participate in this proceeding
to comply with following instructions.
Each claimant that has a dispute over
the distribution of the 1996–1998
satellite royalty funds, either at Phase I
or Phase II, shall file a Notice of Intent
to Participate that contains the
following: (1) the claimant’s full name,
address, telephone number, and
facsimile number (if any); (2)
identification of whether the Notice
covers a Phase I proceeding, a Phase II
proceeding, or both; and (3) a statement
of the claimant’s intention to fully
participate in a CARP proceeding.
Claimants may, in lieu of individual
Notices of Intent to Participate, submit
joint Notices. In lieu of the requirement
that the notice contain the claimant’s
name, address, telephone number and
facsimile number, a joint notice shall
provide the full name, address,
telephone number, and facsimile
number (if any) of the person filing the
notice and it shall contain a list
identifying all the claimants that are
parties to the joint Notice. In addition,
if the joint Notice is filed by counsel or
a representative of one or more of the
claimants identified in the joint Notice,
the joint Notice shall contain a
statement from such counsel or
representative certifying that, as of the
date of submission of the joint Notice,
such counsel or representative has the
authority and consent of the claimants
to represent them in the CARP
proceeding.
3. Motion of Phase I Claimants for
Partial Distribution
A claimant who is not a party to the
motion, but who files a Notice of
Intention to Participate, may file a
response to the motion no later than the
due date set forth in this Notice for
comments on the existence of
controversies and the Notice of Intent to
Participate. The Motion of Phase I
Claimants for Partial Distribution is
available for copying in the Office of the
General Counsel and may be found on
