FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

11 CFR Part 1

[Notice 2018-04]


Change of Address; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The relocation of the Federal Election Commission (``FEC'' or 
``Commission'') to a new building with a different street address has 
been delayed by two weeks. The Commission is updating its regulations 
to reflect the new relocation date.

DATES: This rule is effective March 9, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Tony Buckley, Attorney, or Mr. 
Eugene Lynch, Paralegal, (202) 694-1650 or (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 26, 2017, the Federal Election 
Commission published a Final Rule (82 FR 60852) announcing its official 
relocation in 2018 to a new street address, and amending its 
regulations to reflect the change in location. The Final Rule stated 
that the Commission would relocate on March 5, 2018 to its new street 
address: 1050 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20463. The Commission's 
relocation has since been delayed, however, and the Commission will now 
relocate to its new street

address on March 19, 2018. Until March 19, 2018, the Commission will 
continue to reside and receive mail at 999 E Street NW, Washington, DC 
20463.
    The Commission is promulgating these amendments 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 amendments are merely technical; they effect no 
substantive changes to any rule. For the same reason, these amendments 
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 
amendments 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 amendments for congressional review under the 
Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, the Presidential 
Election Campaign Fund Act, as amended, or the Presidential Primary 
Matching Payment Account Act, as amended. 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).
