FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

11 CFR Parts 104, 110, and 114

[Notice 1995-18]


Repeal of Obsolete Rules

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; announcement of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On June 15, 1995 (60 FR 31381), the Commission published the 
text of revised regulations repealing three obsolete provisions of the 
Commission's rules. The repealed provisions addressed contributions to 
retire pre-1975 debts; certain 1976 payroll deductions for separate 
segregated funds; and an alternative reporting option for candidates in 
presidential elections held prior to January 1, 1981. The Commission 
announces that these rules are repealed as of November 9, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 9, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant General Counsel, 999 E Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20463, (202) 219-3690 or toll free (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 438(d) of Title 2, United States 
Code, requires that any rule or regulation prescribed by the Commission 
to implement Title 2 of the United States Code be transmitted to the 
Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate 
thirty legislative days prior to final promulgation. The revisions to 
11 CFR Parts 104, 110 and 114 were transmitted to Congress on July 19, 
1995. Thirty legislative days expired in the Senate on September 14, 
1995, and in the House of Representatives on October 11, 1995.
    This rulemaking marks the Commission's first use of ``direct final 
rules,'' under which proposed rules that are not expected to receive 
any adverse comments are sent to Congress for the legislative review 
period at the close of the public comment period, if in fact no 
negative comments are received. This eliminates the need to publish the 
final rules as a separate document, while still giving the public 
adequate notice of the proposed revisions. No adverse comments were 
received in response to the June 15, 1995, proposal.
    The repealed rules include 11 CFR 104.17, which established 
alternative filing procedures for authorized committees of candidates 
for President and Vice President for elections that occurred prior to 
January 1, 1981; 11 CFR 110.1(g), which exempted certain contributions 
made to retire debts resulting from elections held prior to January 1, 
1975, from the 11 CFR part 110 contribution limits; and 11 CFR 
114.12(d), which allowed a corporation that offered all of its 
employees a payroll deduction plan prior to May 11, 1976, for 
contributions made to the corporation's separate segregated fund to 
continue to make such deductions for those employees who were not 
executive or administrative personnel, or stockholders, until December 
31, 1976.
    Announcement of Effective Date: Accordingly, the regulations 
removing 11 CFR 104.17, 110.1(g), and 114.12(d) published on June 15, 
1995 (60 FR 31381) are effective November 9, 1995.

    Dated: November 3, 1995.
Lee Ann Elliott,
Vice Chairman.
