		    and Amends Section Heading for Section 201.11 C.F.R.
			The Copyright Office is amending its rules to require each
			  cable operator, satellite carrier, and manufacturer and
			  importer of digital audio recording technology and media to
			  file with the Licensing Division of the Copyright Office
			  both an original statement of account and a copy of the
			  statement of account along with the appropriate royalty
			  payment. Prior to the rule change, the licensee had only to
			  file the original statement of account. This rule takes
			  effect on July 1, 2005. In addition, the Office is revising
			  the section heading for section 201.11 C.F.R. by removing
			  the phrase "for private home viewing."  (Read further
			  information.)
