[Docket No. RM 94-4]


Cable Compulsory License: Specialty Station List

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

[[Page 18427]] ACTION: Extension of filing period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office is extending the filing period in Docket 
RM 94-4 (Specialty Station List) to accommodate parties who were unable 
to file within the time period originally set for compiling a new 
speciality station list. See 60 FR 4639 (January 24, 1995). The former 
deadline was March 27, 1995. The new deadline is April 24, 1995.

DATES: Filings should be received by April 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: By mail: Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. Box 70400, Southwest 
Station, Washington, D.C. 20023. By hand: Office of the General 
Counsel, U.S. Copyright Office, James Madison Memorial Building, Room 
407, First and Independence Avenue, S.E.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marilyn J. Kretsinger, Acting General Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R, P.O. 
Box 70400, Southwest Station, Washington, D.C. 20024. Telephone (202) 
707-8380, Telefax (202) 707-8366.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Specialty station status is significant in 
the administration of the cable compulsory license, 17 USC 111. The 
Copyright Office announced in 1990 that it will create a new, up-to-
date list of speciality stations at approximately three year intervals 
so that broadcasters and cable operators may plan their transmission 
arrangements. See 60 FR 4639 (January 24, 1995). We have discovered 
that many station owners either were not aware of the filing deadline 
in this proceeding or were not aware that the creation of a new list 
required filing an affidavit verifying specialty station status by each 
station that wants to be on the new list. Therefore, we are extending 
the deadline for filing such affidavits from March 27, 1995, until 
April 24, 1995. After that date the Office will publish a list of every 
station that submitted an affidavit seeking comment as to whether or 
not the listed stations meet the requirements for specialty station 
status set forth in former FCC regulations at 47 CFR 76.5 (kk)(1981). 
Finally, we will publish a new specialty station list for purposes of 
administering 17 USC 111.

    Dated: April 7, 1995.
