on public communications on the internet.

DATES: The public hearing will be held on June 27-28, 2018, and will 
begin at 9:30 a.m. on June 27, continuing the next day.

ADDRESSES: The hearing will be held in the Commission's 12th floor

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Neven F. Stipanovic, Acting 
Assistant General Counsel, or Ms. Jessica Selinkoff, Attorney, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 26, 2018, the Commission published 
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM'') proposing to revise its 
regulations at 11 CFR 100.26 and 110.11 regarding disclaimers on 
communications placed for a fee on the internet that contain express 
advocacy, solicit contributions, or are made by political committees. 
Internet Communication Disclaimers and Definition of ``Public 
Communication,'' 83 FR 12864 (Mar. 26, 2018). In the NPRM, the 
Commission announced that it would hold a hearing on June 27, 2018, and 
that anyone wishing to testify at the hearing must file timely written 
comments including a request to testify. Id. The deadline for comments 
was May 25, 2018, and the Commission received more timely-filed 
requests to testify than can be accommodated in a one-day hearing.
    Accordingly, the Commission is extending the hearing to a second 
day: June 28, 2018. Witnesses will be limited to those persons who 
included a request to testify in their timely comments on the NPRM.
    Individuals who plan to attend and require special assistance, such 
as sign language interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, 
should contact Dayna Brown, Commission Secretary, at (202) 694-1040 at 
least 72 hours prior to the date of attendance. Individuals who cannot 
attend in person may view the hearing via webcast; on the hearing day, 
visit www.fec.gov for more information. The Commission will make 
transcripts of the hearing available on its website after the hearing.

    On behalf of the Commission,

    Dated: June 18, 2018.

Chair, Federal Election Commission.
