AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On Oct. 5, 1995 (60 FR 52069), the Commission published the
text of revised regulations governing disclaimers on campaign
communications. On Nov. 29, 1995, the Commission published a correction
to the preamble of the revised regulations. (60 FR 61199) 11 CFR Part
110. These regulations implement a provision of the Federal Election
Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. The Commission announces that these
rules are effective as of December 20, 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant General Counsel, or Ms. Rita A. Reimer,
999 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20463, (202) 219-3690 or toll free
(800) 424-9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 438(d) of Title 2, United States
Code, requires that any rule or regulation 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. The revisions to
11 CFR Part 110 were transmitted to Congress on Oct. 2, 1995. Thirty
legislative days expired in the Senate on Nov. 28, 1995, and in the
House of Representatives on Dec. 5, 1995.
The Commission subsequently published a corrections notice to the
preamble of these rules. The Speaker of the House of Representatives
and the President of the Senate were notified of the correction notice
on Nov. 27, 1995. The correction did not affect the text of the rules.
The rules address the circumstances under which a disclaimer must
be included on campaign communications, as well as what information
must be included in the disclaimer. The correction notice deleted a
potentially misleading reference to phone bank activity that had
inadvertently been included in the Explanation and Justification to the
revised rules.
Announcement of Effective Date: 11 CFR 110.11, as published at 60
FR 52069, is effective as of December 20, 1995.
Dated: December 15, 1995.
Lee Ann Elliot,
Vice Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
