report.)

Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)

    Political committees filing on a semi-annual basis in 2013 or a 
quarterly basis in 2014 are subject to special election reporting if 
they make previously undisclosed contributions or expenditures in 
connection with the Florida Special Primary or Special General 
Elections by the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See 
chart below for the closing date for each report).
    Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures 
in connection with the Florida Special Primary or General Elections 
will continue to file according to the monthly reporting schedule.
    Additional disclosure information in connection with the Florida 
Special Elections may be found on the FEC Web site at http://www.fec.gov/info/report_dates.shtml.

Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity

    Principal campaign committees, party committees and Leadership PACs 
that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the 
special elections must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive 
two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or 
lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of the lobbyist 
bundling disclosure threshold during the special election reporting 
periods (see charts below for closing date of each period). 11 CFR 
104.22(a)(5)(v) and (b).
    The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2013 
is $17,100. This threshold amount may change in 2014 based upon the 
annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). As soon as the adjusted 
threshold amount is available, the Commission will publish it in the 
Federal Register and post it on its Web site. 11 CFR 104.22(g) and 
110.17(e)(2). For more information on these requirements, see Federal 
Register Notice 2009-03, 74 FR 7285 (February 17, 2009).
