SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Commission is announcing the effective 
date of revised regulations at 11 CFR Part 108, governing filing copies 
of campaign finance reports and statements with State officers. These 
rules implement a 1995 amendment to the Federal Election Campaign Act 
at 2 U.S.C. 439(c) that exempts States meeting certain criteria from 
receipt and maintenance requirements for reports filed in connection 
with federal elections.
    The statutory amendment specifically covers reports and statements 
filed with the Commission, i.e., all except those filed by Senate 
candidates, their authorized committees, and committees that support or 
oppose them, which are filed with the Secretary of the Senate. The new 
rules also exempt from State receipt and maintenance requirements 
reports filed with the Secretary of the Senate that can be accessed 
electronically from the Commission's Web site, www.fec.gov.
    Section 438(d) of Title 2, United States Code, requires that any 
rules or regulations prescribed by the Commission to carry out the 
provisions of 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. These rules were 
transmitted to Congress on March 17, 2000. Thirty legislative days 
expired in the Senate on May 16, 2000, and the House of Representatives 
on May 23, 2000.
