SUMMARY: On January 31, 2019, the Federal Election Commission extended

Rulemaking Petition: Advisory Opinion Procedures, which sought comment 
on whether to begin a rulemaking to establish specific time periods for 
the submission of public comments on drafts of advisory opinions. The

2019.

form, addressed to the Federal Election Commission, Attn.: Robert M.

    Each commenter must provide, at a minimum, his or her first name, 
last name, city and state. All properly submitted comments, including 
attachments, will become part of the public record, and the Commission 
will make comments available for public viewing on the Commission's 
website and in the Commission's Public Records Office. Accordingly, 
commenters should not provide in their comments any information that 
they do not wish to make public, such as a home street address,

CFR part 112 to establish specific time periods for the submission of 
public comments on drafts of advisory opinions. The comment period was 
scheduled to close at 11:59 p.m. on February 1, 2019, however, in light
