**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**I. Background**
The Orrin G. Hatch-Bob Goodlatte Music Modernization Act (“MMA”) substantially amended the compulsory “mechanical” license for reproducing and distributing phonorecords of nondramatic musical works, including by creating a new blanket license administered by a mechanical licensing collective (“MLC”). [^1] The MMA allows the MLC to periodically audit digital music providers (“DMPs”) operating under the blanket license to verify the accuracy of the DMPs' royalty payments made to the MLC. [^2] To commence an audit, a notice must be filed with the Office and delivered to each party being audited. The Office must then cause notice to be published in the *Federal Register* within 45 days of receipt. [^3]
