    On May 21, 2002, the Librarian of Congress, based upon the recommendation
    of the Register of Copyrights, issued an Order rejecting the Panel's
    determination proposing rates and terms for these licenses. In such cases,
    the law provides that the Librarian shall issue his final determination
    within 30 days of his decision to reject the Panel's proposed rates and
    terms. The final determination is due on June 20, 2002.

    On February 20, 2002, the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP)
    reported its determination to the Librarian of Congress in the
    above-captioned proceeding. In accordance with 17 U.S.C. 802(f), the
    Librarian is given 90 days from date of delivery of a CARP report to
    review the determination and issue a decision setting forth the final
    royalty fee and terms of payment. However, if the Librarian rejects the
    CARP's determination, section 802(f) provides an additional 30 days for
    the Librarian to render his final determination.
    
    The Register of Copyrights recommends, and the Librarian agrees, that the
    CARP's determination must be rejected. A final decision will be issued no
    later than June 20, 2002.
