    SUMMARY: On July 30, 1999, the Commission published the text of revised 
    regulations defining who qualifies as a ``member'' of a membership 
    organization for purposes of the Federal Election Campaign Act. 64 FR 
    41266. The Commission announces that these rules are effective as of 
    November 2, 1999.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: November 2, 1999.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rosemary C. Smith, Acting 
    Assistant General Counsel, or Ms. Rita A. Reimer, Attorney, 999 E 
    Street, NW, Washington, DC 20463, (202) 694-1650 or toll free (800)

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission is announcing the effective 
    date of revised regulations at 11 CFR 100.8(b)(4), 100.8(b)(4)(iv), and 
    114.1(e), defining who qualifies as a ``member'' of a membership 
    organization. The revisions largely address the internal 
    characteristics of an organization that, when coupled with certain 
    financial or organizational attachments, are sufficient to confer 
    membership status.
        Section 438(d) of Title 2, United States Code, requires that any 
    rules or regulations prescribed by the Commission to implement Title 2 
    of the United States Code be transmitted to the Speaker of the House of 
    Representatives and the President of the Senate thirty legislative days 
    prior to final promulgation. These revisions were transmitted to 
    Congress on July 27, 1999. Thirty legislative days expired in the 
    Senate on October 12, 1999, and in the House of Representatives on 
    October 18, 1999.
        Announcement of Effective Date: Revised 11 CFR 100.8(b)(4), 
    100.8(b)(4)(iv), and 114.1(e), as published at 64 FR 41266 (July 30, 
    1999), are effective as of November 2, 1999.
    
        Dated: October 27, 1999.
    Scott E. Thomas,
    Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
