It certainly is. Separate copyright applies to the translation. The source text may be in the public domain, but the translation is not. This is an issue for a large number of works in the public domain not originally written in English.

The NIV is the work of over 100 translators, and the result of an effort to provide an updated translation in contemporary English that was begun in 1966.

See http://www.biblegateway.com/versions...ion-NIV-Bible/ for some background on it.
