Statement of significant interest
National Public Radio, Inc (“NPR”) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting are participating on behalf of themselves, NPR’s member and affiliated stations, and all public radio stations and entities eligible to receive funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“Public Radio Entities”). NPR and other Public Radio Entities currently operate websites for the purpose of transmitting educational, cultural, news, information, and other public radio content to the public. In doing so, they utilize Sections 112 and 114 statutory licenses to offer public performances of sound recordings by means of digital audio transmissions and ephemeral copies of sound recordings in connection therewith. Accordingly, the Public Radio Entities will be subject to the rates and terms set by the Judges in this proceeding and therefore possess a significant interest in the outcome of the proceeding.
