SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Rulemaking Petition: Notice of Availability

    The Petitioner has requested that the Commission ``repeal its rules 
providing for the use of privately financed Compliance Funds in 
Presidential campaigns.'' Specifically, the Petitioner seeks repeal of 
11 CFR 100.8(b)(15)(last two sentences), 106.2(b)(2)(iii)(last 
sentence), 9002.11(b)(5), 9003.3(a), and 9035.1(c)(1). The petition 
argues that use of these funds permits presidential candidates to evade 
the contribution and expenditure limitations imposed by the 
Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act at 26 U.S.C. 9003(b) and 
9035(a).
    Copies of the Petition for Rulemaking are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Records Office, 999 E Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20463, Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 
a.m. and 5 p.m. Statements in support of or in opposition to the 
Petition for Rulemaking must be submitted in writing by April 29, 1994.
    Consideration of the merits of the petition will be deferred until 
the close of the public comment period.

    Dated: March 25, 1994.
Trevor Potter,
Chairman.
