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 June 1, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Eugene Lynch, Paralegal, 999 E 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20463, (202) 694-1650 or (800) 424-9530.

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, 52 U.S.C. 30101-46 (``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) (providing for congressional review when Commission 
``prescribe[s]'' a ``rule of law''); 26 U.S.C. 9009(c)(1), (4), 
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

A. Correction to 11 CFR 4.8

    The Commission is updating paragraph (a) of this section regarding 
when a person may appeal the Commission's failure to respond to a 
document inspection or production request filed under the Freedom of 
Information Act (``FOIA''), 5 U.S.C. 552. Paragraph (a) currently 
provides that a person may appeal the Commission's failure to respond 
if the person has received no response within ten working days after 
the Commission received the FOIA request. When originally promulgated, 
this ten-day time period accurately reflected the time the Commission 
had to respond to a FOIA request. See 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i) (1979); 
Public Records and Freedom of Information Act, 44 FR 33368 (June 8, 
1979) (promulgating section 4.7(c), giving Commission ten working days 
to respond to FOIA request, and section 4.8(a), allowing FOIA 
requestors who did not receive response within ten working days to file 
appeals). Subsequently, however, Congress amended FOIA to allow 
agencies 20 days in which to respond to FOIA requests, and the 
Commission revised its own response period in 11 CFR 4.7(c) 
accordingly. See Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments, 65 
FR 9201 (Feb. 24, 2000). The Commission did not, however, make the 
necessary corresponding change to the regulation governing the time for 
filing an appeal. Accordingly, to conform the time period for appealing 
the Commission's failure to respond with the time that the Commission 
has to respond, the Commission is revising paragraph (a) by removing 
the word ``ten'' and replacing it with ``twenty.''

B. Correction to 11 CFR 100.54

    The Commission is correcting two erroneous citations in the 
introductory paragraph of this section. This paragraph erroneously 
refers to 11 CFR 100.74 and 100.75 in discussing the exemption of 
certain legal and accounting services from the definition of 
``contribution.'' That exemption is set forth in sections 100.85 and 
100.86, not in sections 100.74 and 100.75 (which address volunteer 
services and the use of a volunteer's real or personal property). 
Accordingly, the Commission is removing the citations to 11 CFR 100.74 
and 100.75 and replacing them with 11 CFR 100.85 and 100.86, 
respectively.

C. Corrections to 11 CFR 104.4

    The Commission is amending paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this 
section to remove an ambiguity regarding the reporting requirements for 
political committees making independent expenditures in a calendar 
year. These paragraphs require political committees to report all 
independent expenditures aggregating less than $10,000 (paragraph 
(b)(1)) or $10,000 or more (paragraph (b)(2)) with respect to a given 
election made ``at any time during the calendar year up to and 
including the 20th day before an election.'' Some reporting entities 
have expressed uncertainty as to whether this language signifies that 
reporting is not required in a calendar year other than an election 
year. As the Commission noted in promulgating this section, the 
reporting requirement applies to independent expenditures made by a 
political committee ``at any time'' and ``at any point in the 
campaign,'' up to and including 20 days before an election. 52 U.S.C. 
30104(g)(2); Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 Reporting, 68 FR 
404, 406 (Jan. 3, 2003). To clarify that a political committee must 
report independent expenditures aggregating less than $10,000, or 
$10,000 or more, with respect to a given election made in any calendar 
year, the Commission is amending portions of the text in paragraphs 
(b)(1) and (2).

[[Page 34862]]

D. Corrections to 11 CFR 104.18

    The Commission is revising paragraphs (b) and (g) of this section 
to reflect the availability and use of internet-based forms to file 
reports electronically with the Commission. The Commission has made a 
number of these forms available for use by filers on its Web site, at 
www.fec.gov. Paragraph (b) provides that a political committee or other 
person not required to file reports electronically with the Commission 
may nonetheless choose to file reports in an electronic format that 
meets the requirements of this section, and a person who chooses to 
file reports electronically is generally required to continue to file 
electronically for the rest of that calendar year. The Commission is 
adding a reference to internet-based forms to paragraph (b), as an 
example of an electronic format that meets the requirements of this 
section.
    Paragraph (g) requires the treasurer of a political committee and 
other persons responsible for filing reports with the Commission to 
verify the reports in specific ways. The Commission is revising 
paragraph (g) to clarify that a signed certification on a Commission 
internet form meets the verification requirement.
    The Commission is also correcting a typographical error in 
paragraph (a)(3)(i)(A) of this section by replacing the phrase ``nets 
debts'' with the phrase ``net debts.''

E. Correction to 11 CFR 106.6

    The Commission is correcting an erroneous citation in paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section. Paragraph (d)(1) requires a political committee 
that collects both federal and nonfederal funds through a joint 
activity to allocate its direct costs of fundraising ``as described in 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section'' in a certain manner. Paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section, however, does not exist. Instead, the direct 
costs of fundraising are described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. 
Thus, the Commission is replacing the reference to paragraph (a)(2) in 
paragraph (d)(1) with a reference to paragraph (b)(1).

F. Correction to 11 CFR 106.7

    The Commission is correcting an erroneous citation in paragraph 
(d)(1)(ii) of this section. Paragraph (d)(1)(ii) requires state, 
district, and local party committees to use only federal funds to pay 
the salaries, wages, and fringe benefits of employees who spend more 
than 25% of their compensated time on federal election activities or 
activities in connection with a federal election, and cites to 11 CFR 
300.33(d)(1). Paragraph (d)(1) of Sec.  300.33, however, concerns 
employees who spend 25% or less of their compensated time on federal 
election activities or activities in connection with a federal 
election. Paragraph (d)(2) of Sec.  300.33, on the other hand, relates 
to the payment of employees spending more than 25% of their compensated 
time on such activities. Accordingly, the Commission is replacing the 
reference to 11 CFR 300.33(d)(1) in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) with 11 CFR 
300.33(d)(2).

G. Correction to 11 CFR 109.10

    The Commission is amending paragraph (c) of this section to remove 
an ambiguity regarding the reporting requirements for persons who are 
not political committees and make $10,000 or more in independent 
expenditures in a calendar year. For the reasons explained above 
regarding the amendments to section 104.4, the Commission is amending 
portions of the text in paragraph (c).

H. Correction to 11 CFR 110.1

    The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph 
(b)(6) of this section. This Commission is replacing the reference to 
11 CFR 110.1(1)(4) with a reference to 11 CFR 110.1(l)(4) (lowercase 
letter L).

I. Correction to 11 CFR 110.2

    The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph 
(b)(6) of this section. The Commission is replacing the reference to 11 
CFR 110.1(1)(4) with a reference to 11 CFR 110.1(l)(4) (lowercase 
letter L).

J. Correction to 11 CFR 113.1

    The Commission is correcting an erroneous citation in paragraph 
(g)(1)(i)(I) of this section. The last sentence of paragraph 
(g)(1)(i)(I) prohibits ``[a] Federal officeholder, as defined in 11 CFR 
100.5(f)(1),'' from receiving salary payments from campaign funds as a 
candidate. Paragraph (f)(1) of Sec.  100.5, however, defines 
``authorized committee,'' not ``Federal officeholder.'' Paragraph (c) 
of Sec.  113.1, on the other hand, defines ``Federal officeholder.'' As 
such, in the last sentence of paragraph (g)(1)(i)(I), the Commission is 
replacing ``11 CFR 100.5(f)(1)'' with ``paragraph (c) of this 
section.''

K. Corrections to 11 CFR 114.2

    The Commission is making a conforming change to the note to 
paragraph (b) of this section. In the note, the word ``non-connected'' 
appears twice. The Commission is replacing both references to ``non-
connected'' with ``nonconnected'' to conform the word to how it appears 
in the rest of 11 CFR chapter 1.

L. Corrections to 11 CFR 114.10

    For the reasons noted above regarding the correction to Sec.  
114.2, the Commission is replacing both references to ``non-connected'' 
in the note to Sec.  114.10(a) with ``nonconnected.''

M. Correction to 11 CFR 9004.6

    The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph (c) 
of this section. The Commission is removing the misspelled word 
``Deducation'' and replacing it with the word ``Deduction.''

N. Correction to 11 CFR 9034.2

    The Commission is correcting an erroneous citation in paragraph 
(c)(1)(iii) of this section. This paragraph addresses the reattribution 
of contributions among joint tenants of a checking account, and 
requires the documentation ``described in 11 CFR 110.1(1), (3), (5), 
and (6)'' to accompany the reattributed contribution. The citation to 
11 CFR 110.1(1), (3), (5), and (6) is incorrect, however, because those 
paragraphs do not exist. Instead, the documentation requirements for 
reattributed contributions appear in paragraph (l) (lowercase letter L) 
of section 110.1. Accordingly, the Commission is replacing the 
reference to 11 CFR 110.1(1), (3), (5), and (6) in Sec.  9034.2 with 11 
CFR 110.1(l)(3), (5), and (6).
