FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

11 CFR Parts 100 and 108

[Notice 1996-6]


Document Filing

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Final Rule; Technical Amendments.

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

SUMMARY: On February 1, 1996, several technical amendments were 
published in the Federal Register conforming the Commission's 
regulations to a recent amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act 
of 1971, as amended (``FECA''). The Commission today is publishing 
technical amendments to conform two additional regulations to the 
recently amended statute.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 16, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant 
General Counsel, or Ms. Teresa A. Hennessy, Attorney, 999 E Street, 
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20463, (202) 219-3690 or (800) 424-9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FECA governs, inter alia, the filing of 
campaign finance reports by candidates, and the authorized committees 
of candidates, to the House of Representatives (``House''). 2 U.S.C. 
432(g). On December 28, 1995, Public Law No. 104-79, 109 Stat. 791 
(1995) amended the FECA to require that these reports be filed with the 
Federal Election Commission rather than the Clerk of the House. See 
Section 3. As noted above, the Commission has published in the Federal 
Register a technical amendment to 11 CFR 105.1 to conform to the 
amended statute and conforming amendments to several provisions that 
refer to the regulation. 61 FR 3549.
    The Commission today is publishing additional technical amendments 
to conform the following regulations to the amended statute: 11 CFR 
100.19(a) and 108.8. As noted in the original rulemaking, these 
technical requirements are exempt from the notice and comment 
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act. See U.S.C. 553 
(b)(B). They are also exempt from the legislative review provisions of 
the FECA. See 2 U.S.C. 438(d). Therefore, these technical amendments 
are effective on February 16, 1996.

Certification of No Effect Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(B) (Regulatory 
Flexibility Act)

    I hereby certify that the attached technical amendments will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. The basis of this certification is that the technical 
amendments are necessary to conform to the FECA and that these change 
only the location of filing reports. Therefore, no significant economic 
impact is caused by the technical amendments.
