2014-29933. Technical Amendments and Corrections

AGENCY:

Federal Election Commission.

ACTION:

Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

The Commission is making technical corrections to various sections of its regulations.

DATES:

Effective December 29, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Amy L. Rothstein, Assistant General Counsel, Ms. Jessica Selinkoff, Attorney, or Mr. Theodore M. Lutz, Attorney, 999 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20463, [phone] or [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The existing rules that are the subject of these corrections are part of the continuing series of regulations that the Commission has promulgated to implement the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act, 26 U.S.C. 9001-13, and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment Account Act, 26 U.S.C. 9031-42 (collectively, the “Funding Acts”), and the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, 52 U.S.C. 30101-45 (formerly 2 U.S.C. 431-55) (“FECA”). The Commission is promulgating these corrections without advance notice or an opportunity for comment because they fall under the “good cause” exemption of the Administrative Procedure Act. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). The Commission finds that notice and comment are unnecessary here because these corrections are merely typographical and technical; they effect no substantive changes to any rule. For the same reason, these corrections fall within the “good cause” exception to the delayed effective date provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Congressional Review Act. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), 808(2).

Moreover, because these corrections are exempt from the notice and comment procedure of the Administrative Procedure Act under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), the Commission is not required to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis under 5 U.S.C. 603 or 604. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2), 604(a). Nor is the Commission required to submit these revisions for congressional review under FECA or the Funding Acts. See 52 U.S.C. 30111(d)(1), (4) (formerly 2 U.S.C. 438(d)(1), (4)) (providing for congressional review when Commission “prescribe[s]” a “rule of law”); 26 U.S.C. 9009(c)(1), (4) (same); 26 U.S.C. 9039(c)(1), (4) (same). Accordingly, these corrections are effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Corrections to FECA and Funding Act Rules in Chapter I of Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations

This document makes three categories of regulatory changes: Correcting typographical errors; updating references to the United States Code to reflect the recent transfer of FECA from Title 2 to Title 52; and correcting technical errors in certain updated citations.

A. Typographical Corrections

1. Corrections to 11 CFR 100.137

The Commission is correcting two typographical errors in this section. Section 100.137 concerns the cost of invitations, food, and beverages provided by a volunteer “on the individual's residential premises or in a church or community room as specified in 11 CFR 100.106 and 100.107.” However, the provisions concerning residential premises and church or community rooms are at 11 CFR 100.135 and 100.136, not 11 CFR 100.106 and 100.107; there are no regulations at 11 CFR 100.106 or 100.107. Thus, the Commission is replacing the reference to “11 CFR 100.106 and 100.107” with a reference to “11 CFR 100.135 and 100.136.”

2. Corrections to 11 CFR 114.1

The Commission is correcting two typographical errors in this section. First, the Commission is correcting paragraph (a)(2)(v) of this section by replacing “normal of comparable” with “normal or comparable.” Second, the Commission is correcting paragraph (e)(3) of this section by replacing “requirements on” with “requirements of.”

3. Correction to 11 CFR 114.3

The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section by replacing “a communications” with “a communication.”

4. Correction to 11 CFR 9003.5

The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph (b)(1)(iii)(B) of this section by replacing “dairy” with “daily.” As corrected, the provision identifies a “daily travel expense policy” as an example of a “pre-established written campaign committee policy.”

B. Updating References to the United States Code

The Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives recently transferred the provisions of FECA from Title 2 of the United States Code to new Title 52.^[1] This transfer changed the numbering of the Code sections but did not change any statutory text.

Accordingly, with certain limited exceptions, the Commission is making corresponding changes to references to Title 2 throughout 11 CFR chapter 1.^[2] For example, the Commission is revising the reference to 2 U.S.C. 431(1) in the definition of “election” at 11 CFR 100.2 to refer, instead, to 52 U.S.C. 30101(1).^[3]

C. Corrections to United States Code References

Several citations to Title 2 in Commission regulations contain typographical errors. In the course of revising the citations from Title 2 to Title 52, the Commission is also correcting these errors.

1. Correction to 11 CFR 1.14

Paragraph (a) of this section erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 437d(9) rather than 2 U.S.C. 437d(a)(9). The Commission is correcting this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(9).

2. Correction to Part 102

The authority citation for this part erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 441(d) rather than 2 U.S.C. 441d. The Commission is correcting this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30120.

3. Correction to 11 CFR 114.6

The authority citation following this section erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 438(8)(a) rather than 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(8). The Commission is correcting this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30111(a)(8).

4. Corrections to 11 CFR Part 115

The authority citation for this part contains several unnecessary and duplicative references to the public laws that established the Commission's rulemaking authority at 2 U.S.C. 437d(a)(8) and 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(8). It also erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(10) rather than 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(8). The Commission is correcting and clarifying the authority citation by replacing the references to the public laws with updated statutory references to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(8) and 52 U.S.C. 30111(a)(8).

Additionally, although part 115 concerns contributions and expenditures by federal contractors, the current authority citation does not refer to the FECA provision concerning federal contractors, 52 U.S.C. 30119 (formerly 2 U.S.C. 441c). Thus, the Commission is also amending the authority citation to include a reference to this provision.

5. Correction to 11 CFR 9038.1

Paragraph (b)(1)(v) of this section erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 437(d)(a)(3) rather than 2 U.S.C. 437d(a)(3). The Commission is correcting this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(3).
