STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
SA1-2 (SHORT FORM)
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THIS STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
Statutory Changes
Congress passed the STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 (“STELARA), and the President signed into law on December 4,
2014, as Public Law 113-200. Read the law at http://copyright.gov/legislation/pl113-200.pdf. For more information on this law
(H.R. 5728), visit the FAQ page on the Copyright Office website at http://copyright.gov/licensing/stelara.html.
Filing Fees: Effective January 1, 2014, pursuant to the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA),
which granted authority to the Copyright Office to establish fees for the filing of statements of account (SOAs) under
the section 111, 119, and 122 statutory licenses, the Office now assesses filing fees for all SOAs for current, past, and future
accounting periods. For details, see the Federal Register, November 29, 2013 (78 fr 71498 http://www.copyright.gov/
fedreg/2013/78fr71498.pdf). Please be advised that the filing fee is deducted before the royalty payment is credited; thus the
omission of the appropriate filing fee will result in an underpayment of royalty fees. Please remit the royalty fee
and filing fee in one EFT payment. (SOA1 filing fee: $15; SOA2 filing fee: $20).
Multicast versus Simulcast
Multicast is a digital stream of programming that is transmitted by a television broadcast station and is not the stations
primary stream. Simulcast is a multicast stream of a television broadcast station that duplicates the programming
transmitted by the primary stream or another multicast stream of such station.
Photocopy Required
A legible copy of the semiannual statement of account must be submitted together with the original statement of account
to the Copyright Office. Note: If replying to Licensing Division correspondence or if submitting revisions or amendments
to your original SOA, please do not include extra photocopies of the SOA pages affected. Only one original version of
revised SOA pages is required with your reply letter, together with a single copy of any Licensing Division correspondence.
Fillable SOAs Available Online
Access the fill-in statement of account form at www.copyright.gov/forms/sa1-2.pdf. Complete it on a personal computer and
print it out. Or print out the form and complete it by hand in dark ink. Give all the required information.
Electronic Payment of Royalty and Filing Fees Required
Detailed instructions for making royalty payments via electronic funds transfer (EFT) are contained in circulars 74a, 74b,
and 74c, which are available at www.copyright.gov/circs/circ74 or by contacting the Licensing Division (8:30 am and 5:00 pm
eastern time) by phone at (202) 707-8150, fax at (202) 707-0905, or email at licfiscal@loc.gov. The remittance, which must
include the appropriate filing fee, must be made payable to Register of Copyrights. If you are using Pay.gov, contact your
bank to determine if your account will accept an Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit.
Remittance Advice Required
Federal regulations [37 C.F.R. sec. 201.17 (k)] require that a remittance advice be attached to statement(s) of account.
A copy of the remittance advice must be sent by email or fax to the Licensing Division. The Office uses this remittance
information to ensure the funds received by EFT are correctly allocated to each statement of account. Access a remittance
advice form at www.copyright.gov/licensing/remittance-advice.pdf.
Ceased Operations Procedures
If your cable system completely shut down operations during the accounting period, report the facts as they existed on the
last day of operations and submit the SOA with the associated royalty and filing fee payments and a cover letter informing
the Licensing Division of ceased operations. If your cable system had no subscribers or gross receipts during the entire
accounting period, do not submit the SOA or any fees. You do not need to notify us in this case.
Important: Review Filings
Please review all elements of your filing(s) before submitting them. Filing properly, including an accurate advice, facilitates
processing of your statement(s) of account and payments, minimizes the need for us to contact you with questions, and
reduces administrative and other costs.

Privacy Act Notice: Section 111 of title 17 of the United States Code authorizes the Copyright Oce to collect the personally identifying information (PII) requested on this
form in order to process your statement of account. PII is any personal information that can be used to identify or trace an individual, such as name, address, and telephone
numbers. By providing PII, you are agreeing to the routine use of it to establish and maintain a public record, which includes appearing in the Oce's public indexes and

: List each separate community served by the cable system. A “community” is the same as a “community unit” as defined
in FCC rules: “a separate and distinct community or municipal entity (including unincorporated communities within unincorporated
areas and including single, discrete unincorporated areas).” 47 C.F.R. §76.5(dd). The first community that you list will serve as a form
of system identification hereafter known as the “first community.” Please use it as the first community on all future lings.
Note: Entities and properties such as hotels, apartments, condominiums, or mobile home parks should be reported in parentheses below the
identified city.

SERVICES OTHER THAN SECONDARY TRANSMISSIONS: RATES
In General: Space F calls for rate (not subscriber) information with respect to all your cable system’s services that were
not covered in space E, that is, those services that are not oered in combination with any secondary transmission service
for a single fee. There are two exceptions: you do not need to give rate information concerning (1) services furnished
at cost or (2) services or facilities furnished to nonsubscribers. Rate information should include both the amount of the
charge and the unit in which it is usually billed. If any rates are charged on a variable per-program basis, enter only the
letters “PP” in the rate column.
Block 1: Give the standard rate charged by the cable system for each of the applicable services listed.
Block 2: List any services that your cable system furnished or oered during the accounting period that were not
listed in block 1 and for which a separate charge was made or established. List these other services in the form of a
brief (two- or three-word) description and include the rate for each.

SECONDARY TRANSMISSION SERVICE: SUBSCRIBERS AND RATES
In General: The information in space E should cover all categories of secondary transmission service of the cable
system, that is, the retransmission of television and radio broadcasts by your system to subscribers. Give information
about other services (including pay cable) in space F, not here. All the facts you state must be those existing on the last
day of the accounting period (June 30 or December 31, as the case may be).
Number of Subscribers: Both blocks in space E call for the number of subscribers to the cable system, broken
down by categories of secondary transmission service. In general, you can compute the number of subscribers in each
category by counting the number of billings in that category (the number of persons or organizations charged separately
for the particular service at the rate indicated—not the number of sets receiving service).
Rate: Give the standard rate charged for each category of service. Include both the amount of the charge and the
unit in which it is generally billed. (Example: “$20/mth”). Summarize any standard rate variations within a particular rate
category, but do not include discounts allowed for advance payment.
Block 1: In the left-hand block in space E, the form lists the categories of secondary transmission service that cable
systems most commonly provide to their subscribers. Give the number of subscribers and rate for each listed category
that applies to your system. Note: Where an individual or organization is receiving service that falls under dierent
categories, that person or entity should be counted as a subscriber in each applicable category. Example: a residential
subscriber who pays extra for cable service to additional sets would be included in the count under “Service to the first
set,” and would be counted once again under “Service to additional set(s).”
Block 2: If your cable system has rate categories for secondary transmission service that are dierent from those
printed in block 1, (for example, tiers of services that include one or more secondary transmissions), list them, together
with the number of subscribers and rates, in the right-hand block. A two- or three-word description of the service is
sucient.

LEGAL NAME OF OWNER OF CABLE SYSTEM:
PRIMARY TRANSMITTERS: TELEVISION
In General: In space G, identify every television station (including translator stations and low power television stations)
carried by your cable system during the accounting period, except (1) stations carried only on a part-time basis under
FCC rules and regulations in eect on June 24, 1981, permitting the carriage of certain network programs [sections
76.59(d)(2) and (4), 76.61(e)(2) and (4), or 76.63 (referring to 76.61(e)(2) and (4))]; and (2) certain stations carried on a
substitute program basis, as explained in the next paragraph.
Substitute Basis Stations: With respect to any distant stations carried by your cable system on a substitute program
basis under specific FCC rules, regulations, or authorizations:
Do not list the station here in space G—but do list it in space I (the Special Statement Program Log)—if the station
was carried only on a substitute basis.
List the station here, and also in space I, if the station was carried both on a substitute basis and also on some other
basis. For further information concerning substitute basis stations, see page (v) of the general instructions.
Column 1: List each station’s call sign. Do not report origination program services such as HBO, ESPN, etc. Identify
each multicast stream associated with a station according to its over-the-air designation. For example, report multicast
stream “WETA-2” as the same on the form. Simulcast stations must be reported in column 1 (list each station separately;
for example, WETA-2-simulcast).
Column 2: Give the channel number the FCC assigned to the television station for broadcasting over the air in its
community of license. For example, WRC is channel 4 in Washington, D.C.
Column 3: Indicate in each case whether the station is a network station, an independent station, or a noncommercial
educational station, by entering the letter “N” (for network), “N-M” (for network multicast), “I” (for independent), “I-M”
(for independent multicast), “E” (for noncommercial educational), or “E-M” (for noncommercial educational multicast).
For the meaning of these terms, see page (iv) of the general instructions.
Column 4: Give the location of each station. For U.S. stations, list the community to which the station is licensed by
the FCC. For Mexican or Canadian stations, if any, give the name of the community with which the station is identified.

stream and any multicast streams transmitted by the sta-
tion constitute primary transmissions.
Secondary transmissions. A secondary transmission
is the basic service of retransmitting television and radio
broadcasts to subscribers. The statute requires all U.S.
cable systems, regardless of how many subscribers they
have or whether they are carrying any distant signals, to
pay some copyright royalties. However, instead of oblig-
ing cable systems to bargain individually for each copy-
righted program they retransmit, the law oers them the
opportunity of obtaining a statutory license for secondary
transmissions.
Note: Secondary transmissions do not include trans-
missions originated by a cable system (including local
origination cablecasting, pay cable, program services,
background music services, and originations on leased
or access channels). Cable systems must negotiate for
the use of any copyrighted material in the programming
they originate, and their originations are not subject to
statutory licensing.

CABLE SYSTEMS
AND THE COPYRIGHT LAW (P.L. 94-553)
Cable systems are subject to copyright liability for their use
of copyrighted material in secondary transmissions (the re-
transmission of television and radio broadcasts to subscrib-
ers). Cable retransmissions of copyrighted programming
are subject to a system of statutory licensing. Among other
things, this means that twice a year the owner of a cable
system must send a statement of account, together with a
royalty fee, to the Licensing Division of the Copyright Oce.
TERMS
Primary stream. A primary stream is the single digital stream
of programming that, before June 12, 2009, was substantially
duplicating the programming transmitted by the television
broadcast station as an analog signal. If there is no stream,
then the primary stream is the single digital stream of pro-
gramming transmitted by the television broadcast station
for the longest period of time.
Primary transmitter. A primary transmitter is a television
or radio broadcast station licensed by the Federal Commu-
nications Commission, or by an appropriate governmental
authority of Canada or Mexico, that makes primary trans-
missions to the public.
Subscriber. The term subscriber means a person or entity
that receives a secondary transmission service from a cable
system and pays a fee for the service, directly or indirectly,
to the cable system.
Subscribe. The term subscribe means to elect to become
a subscriber.
In providing copyright liability for cable systems, the law
draws a distinction between “primary transmissions” and
“secondary transmissions”:
Primary transmissions. A primary transmission is a
transmission made to the public by a transmitting facility
whose signals are being received and further transmitted
by a secondary transmission service, regardless of where
or when the performance or display was first transmitted.
In the case of a television broadcast station, the primary

$527,600; and
You are also depositing the required semiannual royalty fee with the Licensing Division of the Copyright Oce.
IF YOUR FIGURE FOR SEMIANNUAL GROSS RECEIPTS IN SPACE K IS $527,600 OR MORE, USE SA3 (LONG FORM)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, FORM SA1-2, PAGE (ii).
Each semiannual statement of account must be accom-
panied by the deposit of a royalty fee covering retrans-
missions during the preceding six months in the form of
an electronic payment payable to Register of Copyrights.
Why Having a Statutory License Is Important
Most television and radio broadcasts contain copyrighted
material. Without a statutory license, a cable system would
either have to negotiate licenses for all copyrighted program-
ming it transmits or run the risk of substantial civil (or, in
some cases, criminal) liability for multiple acts of copyright
infringement.
Who Can Utilize the Statutory License
Under the statute and Copyright Oce regulations, retrans-
missions are subject to statutory licensing only if they are
made by cable systems.
Cable system. A “cable system” is defined as “a facility,
located in any State, territory, trust territory, or possession
of the United States, that in whole or in part receives signals
transmitted or programs broadcast by one or more television
broadcast stations licensed by the Federal Communications
Commission, and makes secondary transmissions of such
signals or programs by wires, cables, microwave, or other
communications channels to subscribing members of the
public who pay for such service.” A system that meets this
definition is considered a cable system for copyright pur-
poses, even if the FCC excludes it from being considered a
cable system because of the number or nature of its sub-
scribers or the nature of its secondary transmissions.
Individual cable system. An individual cable system is
defined generally as “each cable system recognized as a
distinct entity under the rules, regulations, and practices
of the Federal Communications Commission.” In addition,
two or more cable facilities are considered as one individual
cable system if either: (A) the facilities are in contiguous
communities and are under common ownership or control;
or (B) the facilities operate from one headend. Thus, even if
they are owned by dierent entities, two cable facilities will
be considered as one individual cable system if they share
a common headend.
WHAT A STATUTORY LICENSE
DOES NOT PERMIT YOU TO DO
The statutory authority given to cable systems to retransmit
television and radio broadcasts under a statutory license is
limited in several ways:
Originations. To repeat: a cable system’s statutory li-
cense extends only to secondary transmissions (retrans-
missions). It does not permit the system to make any
originations of copyrighted material without a negotiated
license covering that material.
Nonsimultaneous Retransmissions. In general, to be
subject to statutory licensing under the copyright law,
a cable retransmission must be simultaneous with the
broadcast being carried. As a rule, taping or other record-
royalty and filing fees. See the Federal Register, August
10, 2006 (71 FR 45739) available at www.copyright.gov/
fedreg/2006/71fr45739.html. The remittance should be
payable to Register of Copyrights.

HOW THE STATUTORY LICENSE WORKS
In general, having a statutory license means that a cable
system can retransmit broadcast programming without vio-
lating the copyright law, as long as it complies with certain
paperwork requirements and, twice a year, deposits a royalty
fee with the Copyright Oce.
The cable system can, without negotiated licenses or
advance permission from copyright owners, retransmit
the signals of any U.S. television or radio station that it
is authorized to carry under FCC rules, regulations, or
authorizations (plus Mexican or Canadian stations in cer-
tain cases); and
The cable system must file statements of account with
the Copyright Oce and must also deposit a semiannual
royalty. The amount of the royalty, which is established
under a statutory formula, depends on the total of the sys
-
tem’s gross receipts for secondary transmission service.
Every six months, the cable system must send the Copy-
right Oce a statement of account on this form, SA1-2
(Short Form), or on SA3 (Long Form) (if the gross receipts
are $527,600 or more).
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, FORM SA1-2, PAGE (iii).
ing of the program is not permitted. Taping for delayed
transmission is permissible only for some (not all) cable
systems located outside the 48 contiguous states; and,
even in these exceptional cases, there are further limita-
tions and conditions that the cable system must meet.
FCC Violations. The broadcast signals that a cable sys-
tem can carry under a statutory license are limited to those
that it is permitted to carry under FCC rules, regulations,
and authorizations. If signal carriage is in violation of FCC
requirements, the cable system may be subject under the
Copyright Act to a separate action for copyright infringe-
ment for each unauthorized retransmission.
Foreign Signals. In general, the copyright law does not
permit a cable system to retransmit signals of foreign
television and radio stations under a statutory license.
The only exceptions have to do with the signals of certain
Mexican and Canadian stations. Unless foreign signals
fall within these exceptions, their carriage would not be
authorized under a statutory license, even if permissible
under FCC rules.
Program Alteration or Commercial Substitution. Ca-
ble systems are not permitted to alter the content of re-
transmitted programs, or to change, delete, or substitute
commercials or station announcements in or adjacent
to programs being carried. There is only one exception:
under certain circumstances, substitutions involving com-
mercial advertising market research may be permitted.
Accounting Periods
The statute establishes two six-month accounting periods
for purposes of computing the royalty fee and reporting the
information called for in the statement of account. The rst
semiannual period runs from January through June, and
the second from July through December, of each calendar
year. You must use these accounting periods whether or not
they coincide with the beginning or ending of your cable
system’s scal year.
Filing Dates
Cable systems are given 60 days after the close of each ac-
counting period in which to le their statements of account,
ling and royalty fees. The following are the two ling dates
you must observe each year:
For the January–June accounting period: File between
July 1 and August 29, inclusive;
For the July–December accounting period: File between
January 1 and March 1, inclusive.
Note: If August 29 or March 1 falls on a weekend or federal
holiday, statements of account, royalty and ling fees may
be made on the next succeeding business day.
Statements of account, royalty and ling fees received
before the end of the accounting period will not be accepted.
Statements and fees received after the August 29 or March
1 deadlines will be accepted for whatever legal eect they
may have, if any. The Copyright Oce takes no position as
to what this eect will be, and a cable system that les late
runs a substantial risk.
Refunds
Refund requests must be received within 60 days after the
close of the ling period (by April 30 or October 28). Also,
refund requests for late and amended payments must be
received before the expiration of 60 days from the date of
receipt at the Copyright Oce of the royalty payment that is
the subject of the request. The Debt Collection Improvement
Act of 1996 requires that refunds be made through electronic
funds transfer (EFT). Note: Late payments are subject to
interest assessment. See page (vii) of the general instructions.
Contact the Licensing Division for additional information.
How Royalty Fees Are Handled
For purposes of computing the semiannual royalty fee a cable
system must pay, the statute creates three brackets, depend-
ing upon the system’s gross receipts from subscribers for
secondary transmissions during the accounting period:
1 Gross receipts of $137,100 or less: royalty fee of $52;
2 Gross receipts of more than $137,100 and less than
$527,600: royalty fee determined by a formula based on
percentage of gross receipts;
3 Gross receipts of $527,600 or more: royalty fee de-
termined by a formula based on percentage of gross re-
ceipts and on the number of distant stations carried by
the system.
A cable system is required to deposit its semiannual roy-
alty fee with the Copyright Oce at the time it les each
statement of account. The royalty must be made by elec-
tronic payment, and the related statement of account must
be led by the appropriate deadline accompanied with a
cover letter (see circulars 74a, 74b, and 74c).The Copyright
Oce transfers these fees into a special fund, which is later
distributed to copyright owners as payment for the use of
their works by cable systems.
PURPOSES OF THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
The law requires a cable system to le statements of account
for two purposes:
To show the basis for the semiannual royalty fee the cable
system owes under its statutory license; and
To give the information needed to allocate royalty fees
among copyright owners.
Thus, some of the information you give on your statement
of account has nothing to do with computing your gross
receipts or deciding the amount of your royalty fee. Never-
theless, you are required to give the additional information
in order to provide the basis for the second phase of the
statutory license: the distribution of fees to copyright owners.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, FORM SA1-2, PAGE (iv).
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
ABOUT STATUTORY LICENSES:
As long as a cable system keeps its statutory license
in force by complying with the requirements of the
new copyright law, it is not obliged to negotiate
individual copyright licenses for retransmission of
television and radio broadcasts.
The following are among the various ways a cable
system can lose its statutory license: by failing
to file the statements of account or royalty fees;
by taping for delayed retransmission; by carrying
signals in violation of FCC requirements; by car-
riage of certain foreign stations; and by altering
programs or substituting commercials.
Without a statutory license, a cable system can
be sued by a copyright owner for the full range
of civil remedies for copyright infringement, in-
cluding injunctions, actual damages and profits, or
statutory damages (of up to $150,000 in cases of
willful infringement). The statute also provides for
criminal penalties in cases of willful infringements
for commercial purposes.
WHAT FACTS THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT
SHOULD COVER
All of the information you give in a statement of account must
be an accurate presentation of the facts existing during the
accounting period covered by that statement (or, in certain
cases, on the last day of that period).
Spaces D, G, H, and I. List all areas served, stations
carried, and certain substitute programs carried at any
time during the accounting period.
Spaces K and M. You should report the total of gross
receipts attributable to the particular accounting period
in space K. The figures requested in space M should be
the appropriate totals of channels for the entire period.
Space J. This space (part-time carriage log) has been
deleted.
Spaces B, C, E, and F. Even if items of information con-
cerning the owner, system, subscribers, or rates have
changed during the accounting period, your statement of
account does not need to reect the change. Give only the
facts existing on the last day of the accounting period. If
there were dierent owners during the accounting period,
only the owner on the last day of the accounting period
should submit a single statement of account and royalty
fee payment covering the entire accounting period.
SPACE G (Primary Transmitters: Television)
Stations Actually Carried. Make sure that space G lists all
the television stations your system actually carried at any
time during the accounting period (except as explained in
space G of the form). Do not list stations that were not in fact
carried during that period, even if the FCC has authorized
their carriage, and even if they were carried during earlier
accounting periods.
Translator Stations. Translator stations must be listed. For
copyright purposes, a translator station is a primary transmit
-
ter not only of any programs it originally transmits but also
of all the programming it receives from its parent station and
retransmits. Thus, if your cable system carried signals ema-
nating from a translator station, you must list the translator
station in space G. And, if your system separately carried
signals from both a translator station and its parent station,
both the translator and the parent station should be identified.
Type of Translator Station. Note that for any translator
station listed in space G, the type of station indicated in
column 3 should be that of the parent station.
Multicast stream. A multicast stream is a digital stream of
programming that is transmitted by a television broadcast
station and is not the station’s primary stream.
Simulcast. A simulcast is a multicast stream of a television
broadcast station that duplicates the programming trans-
mitted by the primary stream or another multicast stream
of such station.
Denitions of Types of Stations. Under the Copyright Act,
the terms used in connection with column 3 of space G
mean the following:
Network station. A primary stream of a television broad-
cast station that is owned or operated by, or aliated with,
one or more of the television networks in the United States
providing nationwide transmissions, and that transmits
a substantial part of the programming supplied by such
networks for a substantial part of the primary stream’s
typical broadcast day.
The term network station also applies to a multicast
stream on which a television broadcast station transmits
all or substantially all of the programming of an intercon-
nected program service that is owned or operated by,
or aliated with, one or more of the television networks
described above and oers programming on a regular
basis for 15 or more hours per week to at least 25 of
the aliated television licensees of the interconnected
program service in 10 or more states.
Independent station. A primary stream or a multicast
stream of a television broadcast station that is not a net-
work station or a noncommercial educational station. For
purposes of determining a station’s type-value this cate-
gory includes all specialty, Canadian and Mexican stations.
Noncommercial educational station. A primary stream
or a multicast stream of a television broadcast station that
is a noncommercial educational broadcast station; which
is owned and operated by a public agency or nonprofit
private foundation, corporation or association; or owned

not being broadcast by a station as part of a network tele-
vision broadcast at the time the cable system carried it.
2 The program is picked up from a distant station. A
“distant station” is a television station carried by a cable
system in whole or in part beyond that station’s local
service area. A television station’s local service area is the
area within which the station is entitled to insist upon its
signal being retransmitted by a cable system pursuant to
rules, regulations, and authorizations of the FCC in eect
on April 15, 1976. Eective on July 1, 1994, a station’s
local service area also includes the station’s television
market as defined in section 76.55(e) of title 47, Code of
Federal Regulations (as in eect on September 18, 1993),
or any modifications to such television market made on
or after September 18, 1993, pursuant to section 76.55(e)
or 76.59 of title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
3 The program was carried by the cable system in sub-
stitution for another program under FCC rules, regula-
tions, or authorizations.
Where FCC rules and regulations in eect on the date
of carriage require the deletion of certain programming
of one station and permit substitution of programming
from another distant station. That is, if a cable system is
required to delete a station because of the FCC sports
exclusivity rules.
Where the FCC rules, regulations and authorizations in
eect on October 19, 1976, permit a cable system at its
option, to delete programming, and authorize the system
to substitute programming from another distant station.
That is, if the cable system elects to delete a distant sta-
tion while that station is broadcasting a program primarily
of local interest to the distant community, for copyright
purposes former FCC rules sections 76.61(b) (2) and 76.63
(incorporating 76.61(b) (2)) continue to authorize the station
to substitute the programming of any other distant station.
NOTES
1 The provisions of the Copyright Act dealing with volun-
tary deletion and substitution of programs are limited to
programs substituted under FCC rules, regulations, and
authorizations in eect on October 19, 1976.
2 Eective January 1, 1990, the FCC amended Parts 73
and 76 of its rules relating to program exclusivity in the
cable and broadcast industries.
SPACE K (Gross Receipts)
What Are Gross Receipts? The gross receipts you enter in
space K are the receipts for the basic service of providing
secondary transmissions of primary broadcast transmitters.
They include the full amount of monthly (or other periodic)
service fees for any and all services or tiers of services that
include one or more secondary transmissions of television
or radio broadcast signals, for additional set fees, and for
converter fees. All such gross receipts shall be aggregated
an operated by a municipality and which transmits only
noncommercial programs for education purposes.
SPACE H (Primary Transmitters: Radio)
All-Band Carriage. If your system carried FM radio stations
on an all-band basis, you are not required to list every sta-
tion that subscribers might possibly have received during
the accounting period. Instead, Copyright Oce regulations
require you to monitor your FM transmission service at your
system’s headend from time to time during the accounting
period and to report the generally receivable FM stations
identified as a result of your monitoring.
Stations Generally Receivable. There are two standards for
determining whether an FM station is generally receivable:
1 Is the station usually carried whenever it is received at
your system’s headend; and
2 Can the station be expected to be received at the headend,
with your system’s FM antenna, at least three consecutive
hours each day at the same time each day, five or more
days a week, for four or more weeks during any calendar
quarter, with a strength of not less than 50 microvolts
per meter measured at the foot of the tower or pole to
which the antenna is attached?
The monitoring arrangements you set up should be aimed
at determining what stations can reasonably be expected
to meet these standards.
Monitoring Activities. It is not necessary to monitor con-
tinuously throughout the accounting period, and you are not
required to make precise measurements to determine which
stations in fact meet the technical standards and which do
not. Your monitoring activities should take place periodi-
cally at your headend during the accounting period and you
should use a good FM receiver.
SPACE I (Substitute Carriage: Special Statement
and Program Log)
Substitute Programs Must Be Logged and Reported. The
Copyright Act requires all cable systems to submit, with their
statement of account, logs showing the times, dates, sta-
tions, and programs involved in any nonnetwork television
programming that was carried in whole or in part beyond
the local service area of the primary transmitter, under rules,
regulations, or authorizations of the FCC permitting the sub-
stitution or addition of signals under certain circumstances.
The applicable present and former rules and regulations are
identified in item 3, which follows.
What Programs Must Be Listed. You must list a program
in space I if all three of the following conditions apply:
1 The program is a nonnetwork television program. A
“nonnetwork television program” is a program that was

and the royalty fee calculations shall be made against the ag-
gregated amount. Gross receipts for secondary transmission
services do not include installation (including connection,
relocation, disconnection or reconnection) fees; separate
charges for security, alarm, or facsimile services; charges
for late payments; or charges for pay cable or other program
origination services provided that the origination services
are not oered in combination with secondary transmission
service for a single fee.
SATELLITE CARRIER
GROSS RECEIPTS EXCLUSION
The Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988, Public Law 100-
667, as amended by Public Law 103-369, Public Law
106-113, Public Law 108-447, Public Law 111-175, and
Public Law 113-200, establishes a statutory license for
certain secondary transmissions made by satellite carri-
ers to satellite dish owners. Satellite carriers are subject
to copyright liability for their use of copyrighted material
when they make secondary “transmissions” (retransmis-
sions of television broadcasts) to satellite dish owners
and they make a direct or indirect charge for that ser-
vice. Satellite carrier retransmissions of the copyrighted
programming embodied in the signals of non-network or
network stations are eligible under an operational system
of statutory licensing that is established in section 119
of the Copyright Act.
A satellite carrier is defined in the Satellite Home Viewer
Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 as “an entity
that uses the facilities of a satellite or satellite service
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission,
and operates in the Fixed-Satellite Service under part 25
of title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations or the Direct
Broadcast Satellite Service under part 100 of title 47 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, to establish and oper-
ate a channel of communications for point-to-multipoint
distribution of television station signals, and that owns or
leases a capacity or service on a satellite in order to pro-
vide such point-to-multipoint distribution, except to the
extent that such entity provides such distribution pursu-
ant to tari under the Communications Act of 1934, other
than for private home viewing pursuant to Section 119.”
As provided in the Satellite Home Viewer Act [amend-
ment of section 111(d)(1)(A)], any amounts collected by
a cable system/distributor from subscribers should be
excluded from the cable system’s determination of gross
receipts received for the basic service of providing sec-
ondary transmissions of primary broadcast transmitters
pursuant to the cable statutory license, section 111 (c)
to (f). This provision contemplates the situation where
the same entity may be oering both satellite and cable
distribution of secondary transmissions of primary broad-
cast transmitters.
If a cable system oers both satellite and cable services to
satellite dish owners, then it may exclude those amounts
attributed to the satellite service under section 119 of the
act. Such a system should declare on page 8 the amount
of gross receipts that are excluded for this service and list
the name and address of each satellite carrier in which
the system has contracted as a distributor or agent to
market the carrier’s retransmissions service. The system
should also maintain separate records of the subscriber
fees received for satellite carrier retransmissions.
Accrual Basis. If your revenue accounts are kept on an
accrual basis, the figure you give in space K should be the
total of all gross receipts for secondary transmission ser-
vice accrued for the accounting period. Subtract bad debts
actually written o during the period and add previously
written-o debts that were actually recovered during the
period. (However, do not make adjustments for bad debts
for secondary transmission service furnished before Janu-
ary 1, 1978.)
Cash Basis. If your revenue accounts are kept on a cash basis,
your gross receipts are all amounts actually received during
the accounting period for secondary transmission service.
SPACE L (COPYRIGHT ROYALTY AND FILING FEES)
Statutory Formulas for Computing the Royalty and
Filing Fees
For cable systems whose semiannual gross receipts are un der
$527,600, the method of calculating the royalty fee depends
on the amount of gross receipts reported in space K.
Gross receipts of $137,100 or less. If the figure you give
in space K is $137,100 or less, your royalty fee has been
calculated for you in accordance with the formula set out in
section 111(d)(2)(C) of the Copyright Act as adjusted. The
amount is $52 and the filing fee is $15. Do not use blocks
2 and 3.
Gross receipts of more than $137,100 but less than or
equal to $263,800. If the figure you give in space K is more
than $137,100 but less than or equal to $263,800, your
royalty fee must be calculated in accordance with the for-
mula set out in section 111(d)(2)(C) of the Copyright Act,
as adjusted. Follow the step-by-step calculations in block
2 of space L and add the $20 filing fee. Do not use blocks
1 and 3.
Gross receipts of more than $263,800 but less than
$527,600. If your gross receipts figure in space K is more
than $263,800 but less than $527,600, you must use the
formula set out in section 111(d)(2)(D) of the Copyright Act,
as adjusted. Follow the step-by-step calculations in block
3 of space L and add the $20 filing fee. Do not use blocks
1 and 2.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, FORM SA1-2, PAGE (vii)
Interest Charges for Underpayments
and Late Payments
Underpayments or late payments received after the filing
deadline shall be subject to an interest assessment. Cable
systems must calculate their own interest charge. (A work-
sheet is provided at space Q, page 8.) The interest rate set
for a specific accounting period is the U.S. Treasury Current
Value of Funds Rate in eect on the first business day after
the close of the filing deadline for that accounting period.
Cable systems can obtain the interest rate for the applicable
accounting period(s) by calling the Licensing Division at (202)
707-8150, or
by clicking on to www.copyright.gov/licensing/
interest-rate.pdf.
For underpayments and late payments, the interest shall
begin to accrue on the first day after the close of the filing
date for that accounting period. The accrual period ends
on the date that the remittance is received in the Copyright
Oce. Note: The Oce shall not require, nor notify a cable
system of, an interest charge of $5.00 or less.
