Licensing Body Example

[Nella Mcnairy]

Ifyou would like to use copyright material, you usually need to get permission from the rights holder to do so. Sometimes this can be obtained directly from the rights holder, but more often it is granted in the form of a licence from a licensing body. A licensing body is a broad term used to describe any organisation which administers the rights of many copyright owners, offers licences for the use of copyright work, and distributes licence fees to those who own rights in creative work.

An Independent Management Entity (IME) is a type of licensing body which grants rights on behalf of more than one right holder, for the collective benefit of those right holders, as its sole or main purpose and which is (i) neither owned nor controlled, directly or indirectly, wholly or in part, by right holders and (ii) organised on a for profit basis. IMEs are active in the music and audiovisual sectors alongside CMOs.

You can apply for a licence to get permission to use copyright protected works. Copyright works can come in different forms, for example books, newspapers, pictures, or music. The CMOs, IMEs and other licensing bodies by sector (see Endnote) are listed below:

**Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI)

CCLI licenses the reproduction and copying of lyrics and printed music for copyrighted worship songs and hymns and acts as church agents for Christian Video Licensing International (CVLI), Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), PRS for Music, and the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA)

***The Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS)

MCPS collects and distributes mechanical (or reproduction) royalties on behalf of its members. PRS for Music deliver rights management and administrative services to MCPS

If you are unhappy about the price or terms and conditions of a licence, you may be able to take the matter to the Copyright Tribunal, which adjudicates on the reasonableness of the price of a licence and its terms and conditions.

This resource applies to the SVP Clinical Staffing section and addresses the credentialing and privileging of all current clinical staff. This resource can be used during the site visit when reviewing credentialing and privileging files. Health centers may also use this resource to prepare for a site visit and ensure their credentialing and privileging files are complete.

This resource provides common examples of credentialing and privileging documentation that may demonstrate compliance with credentialing and privileging requirements. The examples are NOT exhaustive, and health centers may have other documentation that demonstrates compliance. HRSA encourages health centers and site visit reviewers to use this resource along with the SVP and the Compliance Manual.

Possible sources of verifying education and residency for physicians: American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Masterfile, American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Physician Profiles, Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for international graduates licensed after 1986.

Possible sources of verifying certifications for other LIPs: American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), American Midwifery Certifying Board (AMCB), National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).

Note: The health center may rely on the state licensing agency, specialty board or registry to verify education and training if the health center can document that these entities conduct education and training primary source verification. When using such a source, the health center should verify at least annually the state licensing agency continues to primary source verify.

Note: The CDC has published recommendations, and many states have their own recommendations or standards for provider immunization and communicable disease screening. For more information about CDC recommendations, visit CDC: Recommended Vaccines for Healthcare Workers. Health centers will determine what vaccinations are required for their clinical staff based on state requirements and other resources.

Note: The health center determines communicable disease screening protocols for its health care workers as well as what sources will be accepted as verification, and circumstances, if any, when providers can decline to present for testing or screening.

Body art, such astattooing,piercing,andbrandinghave been practiced for hundreds of years all over the world. More recently,permanent makeupsuch asmicrobladingandmicropigmentationare other types of body art activities added to the industry. In body art, the artist, also called a practitioner, uses various tools such as needles and ink to change the skin of their client. For example, a tattoo or permanent makeup artist typically uses an electric handheld machine to insert ink into the outer layer of skin. Some body art is permanent, though some can be removed.

Body art can pose a risk to both the practitioner and the client receiving the art. The greatest risks are from local infections at the site of the body art, the spread of infectious diseases, and specifically the spread of bloodborne pathogens or diseases that are passed through infected blood such as Hepatitis B and C.

Rules and regulations are in place to protect the practitioner, the client, and public health in general. The California Safe Body Art Act provides minimum standards to use proper body art procedures and control of cross-contamination of instruments and equipment for body art to protect practitioners and clients from transmitting diseases.

The Environmental Operations Program is responsible for ensuring tattoo and body piercing studios, including temporary locations, comply with minimum licensing standards established to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Texas.
