SUMMARY: On October 10, 2017, the Federal Election Commission reopened 
the comment period on the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(``ANPRM'') seeking comment on whether to begin a rulemaking to revise 
its regulations concerning disclaimers on certain internet 
communications and, if so, on what changes should be made to those 
rules. The Commission has decided to extend the comment period for one 
business day due to technological difficulties.

DATES: The comment period for the ANPRM published October 13, 2011 (76 
FR 63567), and reopened on October 10, 2017 (82 FR 46937), is extended. 
Comments must be received on or before November 13, 2017.

ADDRESSES: All comments must be in writing. Commenters are encouraged 
to submit comments electronically via the Commission's Web site at 
www.fec.gov/netdisclaimers or at http://www.fec.gov/fosers, reference 
REG 2011-02. Alternatively, commenters may submit comments in paper 
form, addressed to the Federal Election Commission, Attn.: Neven F. 
Stipanovic, Acting Assistant General Counsel, 999 E Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20463.
    Each commenter must provide, at a minimum, his or her first name, 
last name, city, state, and zip code. All properly submitted comments, 
including attachments, will become part of the public record, and the 
Commission will make comments available for public viewing on the 
Commission's Web site and in the Commission's Public Records Office. 
Accordingly, commenters should not provide in their comments any 
information that they do not wish to make public, such as a home street 
address, personal email address, date of birth, phone number, social 
security number, driver's license number, or any information that is 
restricted from disclosure, such as trade secrets or commercial or 
financial information that is privileged or confidential.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Neven F. Stipanovic, Acting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 10, 2017, the Commission reopened 
the comment period on an ANPRM published in the Federal Register 
seeking comment on whether and how to revise the rules at 11 CFR 110.11 
regarding disclaimers on certain internet communications.\1\ The 
comment period was scheduled to close at 11:59 p.m. on November 9, 
2017, but the Commission experienced technological difficulties with 
its online comment system on the last day of the comment period. The 
Commission has therefore determined to extend the comment period for 
one business day, to close at 11:59 p.m. on November 13, 2017.
