The U.S. Copyright Office has issued a new rule that requires all royalty fees submitted to the Copyright Office to be paid using Pay.gov. This rule affects cable operators, satellite carriers, and manufacturers and importers of digital audio recording devices who are required to pay these fees. The purpose of this change is to streamline the payment process and make it more convenient for users, as well as to eliminate redundant payment methods. The rule goes into effect on April 30, 2025, and tutorials on how to use Pay.gov are available on the Copyright Office's website.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has proposed a change to Rule 309, which aims to simplify the payment process for member organizations by allowing the exchange to directly debit undisputed or final fees from their accounts at the National Securities Clearing Corporation. Organizations have the option to opt-out and set up alternative payment methods. This new method is intended to ease administrative burdens and reduce overdue account balances. Additionally, a $10,000 threshold is set for disputes before debiting occurs, providing time for members to address potential billing errors.
