political committee itself, may administratively terminate a political 
committee's reporting obligation on the basis of the following factors:
    (1) The committee's aggregate reported financial activity in one 
year is less than $5000;
    (2) The committee's reports disclose no receipt of contributions for 
the previous year;
    (3) The committee's last report disclosed minimal expenditures;
    (4) The committee's primary purpose for filing its reports has been 
to disclose outstanding debts and obligations;
    (5) The committee has failed to file reports for the previous year;
    (6) The committee's last report disclosed that the committee's 
outstanding debts and obligations do not appear to present a possible 
violation of the prohibitions and limitations of 11 CFR parts 110 and 
114;
    (7) The committee's last report disclosed that the Committee does 
not have substantial outstanding accounts receivable;
    (8) The committee's outstanding debts and obligations exceed the 
total of the committee's reported cash on hand balance.
    (b) The Commission shall send a notification to the committee 
treasurer of its intent to administratively terminate that committee and 
may request the treasurer to submit information with regard to the 
factors set forth at 11 CFR 102.4(a). The treasurer shall respond, in 
writing, within 30 days of receipt of the Commission's notice or request 
and if the committee objects to such termination, the committee's 
response shall so state.
    (c) The Commission shall administratively terminate a committee if 
such committee fails to object to the Commission's action under 11 CFR 
102.4(b) and the Commission determines that either:
    (1) The committee has complied with the debt settlement procedures 
set forth at 11 CFR part 116.
    (2) The Commission has approved the forgiveness of any loan(s) owed 
the committee which would have otherwise been considered a contribution 
under the Act in violation of 11 CFR part 110;

    (3) It does not appear from evidence available that a contribution 
in violation of 11 CFR parts 110 and 114 will result.
