upon the prior symposium and comparative report.3 The Office received two rounds of public comments in August 2020. Information about the study, including the NOI, public comments, symposium materials, and comparative report may be accessed on the Offices website at https
www.copyright.gov/policy/unclaimedroyalties/.
The Office will now hold roundtable discussions to allow interested members of the public to discuss and provide additional information on the topics of the study. The Office also will provide sign-up information for members of the public who wish to observe, but not participate in, one or more of the roundtable sessions. The sessions will be video recorded and transcribed, and copies of the recording and transcript will be made available on the Offices website.
A. Submitting Requests To Participate A request to participate should be submitted to the Office using the form on the Offices website indicated in the ADDRESSES section above by February 26, 2021. Shortly thereafter, the Office will notify participants of their selection and session assignments. In order to accommodate the expected level of interest, the Office plans to assign no more than one representative per organization to each session. If multiple persons from the same organization wish to participate on different issues, each should submit a separate request.
Depending upon the number and nature of the requests, the Office may not be able to accommodate all requests to participate.
The public roundtables will offer an opportunity for interested parties to comment on the information submitted to the Office to date and offer additional views concerning the best practices the MLC may implement to reduce the incidence of unclaimed royalties. While the Office will tailor sessions based on expressions of interest, it expects that sessions will address various issues related to data matching and identification of musical work copyright owners; user experience and accessibility of the public database and claiming portal; education and outreach to promote awareness and encourage royalty claiming; and holding and distribution of accrued royalties.
Although the primary focus of the statutorily-mandated study must remain on best practices the Office may recommend for the MLC to consider in order to reduce the overall incidence of unclaimed accrued royalties, the Office 3 85

All requests to participate must clearly identify:
The name of the person desiring to participate;
The organization or organizations represented, if any;

unclaimed-royalties/roundtable on or about March 18, 2021.
B. Format of Public Roundtables Each roundtable session will cover a topic relevant to the study, as discussed above. Depending on the level of interest, the Office may hold multiple sessions on the same topic to accommodate a greater number of participants and provide additional time for discussion. Following a discussion of the various agenda topics by roundtable participants, members of the public will be provided a limited opportunity to offer additional comments for the record, but parties who wish to provide detailed information to the Office are encouraged to submit a request to participate.
