Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 99 / Monday, May 22, 2000 / Notices 32095

January 30, 1992 to reflect technological

advances during the intervening period

(see 57 FR 4453 (Feb. 5, 1992)), and

again on January 11, 1996 (see 61 FR

6245 (Feb. 16, 1996)). This Notice

summarizes the most recent revisions,

which were adopted by the Commission

on April 13, 2000 and apply to all

publicly-funded committees that

participate in the 2000 presidential

election.

The CMMR sets forth technical

standards designed to ensure the

compatibility of magnetic media

provided for Commission use during the

matching fund submission process,

which is also discussed in the

Commission’s ‘‘Guideline for

Presentation in Good Order’’ (‘‘PIGO’’),

and the mandatory audits of publiclyfunded presidential campaign and

convention committees. Each

presidential candidate and convention

committee must agree to maintain and

provide computerized magnetic media

in the format prescribed by the CMMR,

if the committee maintains or uses

computerized information containing

any specified categories of data. See 11

CFR 9003.1(b)(4), 9008.3(a)(4)(v), and

9033.1(b)(5). The technical standards in

the CMMR include general requirements

for magnetic tape and magnetic

diskettes, as well as file format

specifications for records of receipts,

including contributors, vendors,

invoices, bank accounts and check files.

Until this latest revision, the CMMR

included file format specifications for

records of disbursements. While the

same information is still required, no

particular format is now specified.

The CMMR has also been revised to

reflect technological advances in

computer software since the 1996

revisions. It thus provides campaigns

with more options than the previous

version of the CMMR. The Commission

continues to encourage committees to

provide samples of their magnetic tape

or magnetic diskettes, so that the

Commission may determine whether the

samples comply with the specifications

established.

The CMMR is included as Appendix

2 to the Commission’s Financial Control

and Compliance Manual For

Presidential Primary Candidates

Receiving Public Financing (April 2000).

It is also available from the

Commission’s Public Records Office or

the Audit Division, and will soon be

available on the Commission’s web site,

www.fec.gov. The Public Records Office

can be reached at (800) 424–9530,

extension #3 (toll free), or 202–694–

1120. That Office also responds to Email requests at pubrec@fec.gov.

Please note that the technical

requirements found in the CMMR are

not intended to promote or discourage

the use of any particular computer

system or software. The Commission

believes that committees should have as

much discretion as possible in selecting

the computer equipment they wish to

use, determining what types of financial

records and information should be

computerized, and deciding how the

computerized information is

maintained. However, committees are

expected to present this financial

information to the Commission in the

format specified in the CMMR.

Dated: May 17, 2000.

Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
