FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
11 CFR Parts 100 and 108
[Notice 1996-6]
Document Filing
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Final Rule; Technical Amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 1, 1996, several technical amendments were
published in the Federal Register conforming the Commission's
regulations to a recent amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act
of 1971, as amended (``FECA''). The Commission today is publishing
technical amendments to conform two additional regulations to the
recently amended statute.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant
General Counsel, or Ms. Teresa A. Hennessy, Attorney, 999 E Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20463, (202) 219-3690 or (800) 424-9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FECA governs, inter alia, the filing of
campaign finance reports by candidates, and the authorized committees
of candidates, to the House of Representatives (``House''). 2 U.S.C.
432(g). On December 28, 1995, Public Law No. 104-79, 109 Stat. 791
(1995) amended the FECA to require that these reports be filed with the
Federal Election Commission rather than the Clerk of the House. See
Section 3. As noted above, the Commission has published in the Federal
Register a technical amendment to 11 CFR 105.1 to conform to the
amended statute and conforming amendments to several provisions that
refer to the regulation. 61 FR 3549.
The Commission today is publishing additional technical amendments
to conform the following regulations to the amended statute: 11 CFR
100.19(a) and 108.8. As noted in the original rulemaking, these
technical requirements are exempt from the notice and comment
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act. See U.S.C. 553
(b)(B). They are also exempt from the legislative review provisions of
the FECA. See 2 U.S.C. 438(d). Therefore, these technical amendments
are effective on February 16, 1996.
Certification of No Effect Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(B) (Regulatory
Flexibility Act)
I hereby certify that the attached technical amendments will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The basis of this certification is that the technical
amendments are necessary to conform to the FECA and that these change
only the location of filing reports. Therefore, no significant economic
impact is caused by the technical amendments.
