\1\ These dates indicate the end of the reporting period. A reporting period always begins the day after the
  closing date of the last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously filed a report, the
  first report must cover all activity that occurred before the committee registered as a political committee
  with the Commission up through the close of books for the first report due.
\2\ Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended
  when they fall on nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed by methods other than Registered, Certified or
  Overnight Mail, or electronically, must be received before the Secretary of the Senate Public Records Office's
  (or for committees not supporting only Senate candidates, the Commission's) close of business on the last
  business day before the deadline.
