If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before the committee registered as a political committee up through the close of books for the first report due. \2\ Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended when they fall on nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed by methods other than registered, certified or overnight mail must be received by close of business on the last business day before the deadline. \3\ The mailing deadline is the same as the filing deadline because the computed mailing deadline would fall one day before the primary is held. On behalf of the Commission, Dated: February 27, 2017. Steven T. Walther, Chairman, Federal Election Commission. [FR Doc. 2017-05055 Filed 3-13-17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6715-01-P
