The Tribunal is composed of five Commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Tribunal sets copyright royalty rates for records, jukeboxes, and certain cable television retransmissions under the compulsory licensing provisions of the act. Royalty fees are deposited with the Register of Copyrights and are distributed by the Tribunal. In addition, the Tribunal makes decisions regarding rates and terms of royalty payments for the use of published, nondramatic compositions and pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works by noncommercial broadcasting stations.

In making its determinations, the Tribunal considers the relative harm and benefits to the copyright owners and users, respectively, the availability of creative works to the public, and the economic impact on the industries involved.
