FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

11 CFR Part 9008

[Notice 1983-20]

Presidential Election Campaign Fund, 

Federal Financing of Presidential 

Nominating Conventions

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTIO N : Final rule; technical 

amendments. > Y

s u m m a r y : The Commission is 

publishing today technical amendments 

to its regulations at 11 CFR Part 9008 

which govern public financing of 

Presidential Nominating Conventions. 

These amendments are intended to 

bring the regulations into conformance 

with the 1979 Amendments to the 

Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 

(Pub. L. 96-187). 11 CFR Part 9008 has 

also been amended to change the 

terminology defining the metropolitan 

area in which the convention city is 

located in accordance with new 

standards established by the Office of 

Management and Budget.

EFFECTIVE D A TE: July 21,1983.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION C O N TA C T:

Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant General 

Counsel, 1325 K Street, NW,

Washington, D.C. 20463, (202) 523-4143 

or (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Election Campaign Act 

Amendments of 1979, Pub. L. 96-187, 93 

Stat. 1339 (1980), amended 26 U.S.C. 

9008(b)(1) by increasing the amount of 

convention financing available to major 

and minor political parties from $2 

million to $3 million. These amendments 

also changed the recordkeeping 

requirements under 2 U.S.C. 432(c)(5) by 

raising the threshold for documentation 

of expenditures to $200 and reducing the 

documentation requirements for 

expenditures to a payee which 

individually are less than, but which in

the aggregate total in excess of the 

threshold amount.

The technical amendments published 

in this notice revise 11 CFR 9008.1(a)(1) 

to increase the entitlement amount to 

$3,000,000 in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 

9008(b)(1). Also, 11 CFR 

9008.8(b) (4)(v)(A) has been amended to 

include the revised recordkeeping 

requirements of 2 U.S.C. 432(c)(5).

Further technical amendments have 

been made to incorporate the new 

terminology defining metrppolitan areas 

recently adopted by the Office of 

Management and Budget. 45 FR 956 (1/ 

3/80). Since the general term used to 

refer to metropolitan areas, "Standard 

Metropolitan Statistical Area" or 

“SMSA” is no longer used, it has been 

replaced by the new generic term 

"Metropolitan Statistical Area" ("MSA") 

in 11 CFR 9008.7(c) (2)(iv) and 

9008.7(d)(2)(iv). Thus, § 9008.7(c)(2)(iv) 

now provides that a business located 

within the same Metropolitan Statistical 

Area as the convention city is 

considered a local business which may 

sell or provide samples and promotional 

materials to those attending the 

convention pursuant to 11 CFR 

9008.7(c)(2)(i). Similarly, businesses, 

municipal corporations, government 

agencies and labor organizations within 

the Metropolitan Statistical Area of the 

convention city are considered local 

under 11 CFR 9008.7(d)(2)(iv) and under 

11 CFR 9008.7(d)(2)(i), may make 

contributions and expenditures to 

promote the convention city and its 

commerce.

Because these amendments are 

technical, they are not substantive rules 

requiring notice and comment under the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553, or legislative review under 26 U.S.C. 

§ 9009(c). These amendments are, 

therefore, made effective July 21,1983.

9008(b), the national committees of both 

major and minor parties are entitled to 

public funds to defray expenses incurred 

with respect to a Presidential 

Nominating Convention. Under 26 U.S.C. 

9008(d), expenditures with regard to 

such a convention by a national

com m ittee receiving public funds are 

lim ited to $3,000,000, as adjusted by the

rods, support fittings, and vane lower 

skins for cracks or damage at intervals 

of ten hours time in service on all 

Canadair CL-600 and CL-601 airplanes. 

Terminating action for the inspections is 

not provided by the current revisions of 

the service bulletins. The FAA has 

determined that an AD requiring the 

previously mentioned inspections are 

necessary at this time. The AD will be 

amended to reflect terminating action 

when it becomes available. The 

Canadian Ministry of Transport has 

issued an AD requiring the inspections.

Further, since a situation exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

regulation, it is found that notice and 

public procedure hereon are 

impracticable and good cause exists for 

making this amendment effective in less 

than 30 days.

s u m m a r y : This amendment adds a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) applicable 

to all Canadair CL-600 and CL-601 

airplanes which requires a repetitive 

visual inspection of the outboard wing 

flap vane support rods, support fittings, 

and flap vane lower skins for cracks. 

Several instances of cracked or broken 

support rods have been reported. If this 

situation is allowed to go uncorrected, it 

could result in the loss of the support 

fittings. If the support fittings fail, the 

vane will depart from the airplane. 

EFFECTIVE D A TE: July 28,1983.

specified in this AD may be obtained 

upon request to Canadair Ltd.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Several 

instances of cracked or broken vane 

support rods have recently been 

reported on the outboard wing flap of 

me CL-600 airplane. If a rod is broken, i 

is possible that vibrations will 

eventually induce cracks in the vane 

support fittings. If the support fittings 

feil, the vane could depart from the 

aircraft. If this should occur at low 

altitude, the airplane could be lost.

Adoption of the Amendment

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority 

delegated to me by the Administrator,

§ 39.13 of Part 39 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) is amended 

by adding the following new 

airworthiness directive:

Canadair Applies to all Canadair Model CL6 0 0 -lA ll (CL-600) and CL-600-1A12 

(CL-601) airplanes certificated in all 

categories. Compliance is required as 

indicated. To prevent failure of the 

outboard flap vane support structure, 

accomplish tne following within ten days 

after the effective date’of this AD unless 

already accomplished:

A. Perform a visual inspection of the 

inboard and outboard flap vane support rods, 

support fittings and vane lower skins in 

accordance with Canadair Alert Service 

Bulletins A600-0326, Revision 3, dated April 

28,1983, on CI^-600 airplanes and A601-0004 

dated May 2,1983, on CL-601 airplanes. 

Replace cracked or damaged parts prior to 

further flight.

B. Repeat the inspections of paragraph A. 

at intervals not to exceed 10 hours time in 

service.

C. Alternate means of compliance which 

provide an equivalent level of safety may be 

used when approved by the Manager, Seattle 

Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, Northwest 

Mountain Region.

D. Special flight permits may be issued in 

accordance with FAR 21,197 and 21.199 to 

operate airplanes to a base for the 

accomplishment of inspections and/or 

modifications required by this AD. This 

amendment becomes effective July 28,1983. 

(Secs. 313(a), 601, and 603, Federal Aviation 

Act of 1958, as amended (49 U.S.C. 1354(a),

Transportation Act (49 U.S.C. 1655(c)); and 14 

CFR 11.89)

Note.—The FAA has determined that this 

regulation is an emergency regulation that is 

not major under Section 8 of Executive Order

12291. It is impracticable for the agency to 

follow the procedures of Order 12291 with 

respect to this rule since the rule must be 

issued immediately to correct an unsafe 

condition in aircraft. It has been further 

determined that this document involves an 

emergency regulation under DOT Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; 

February 26,1979). If this action is 

subsequently determined to involve a 

significant/major regulation, a final 

regulatory evaluation or analysis, as 

appropriate, will be prepared and placed in 

the regulatory docket (otherwise, an 

evaluation or analysis is not required). A 

copy of it, when filed, may be obtained by 

contacting the person identified under the

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a 

new Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

applicable to certain EMBRAER Model 

EM B-llO Pl and EMB-HOP2 airplanes 

which requires initial and repetitive 

visual inspections of the fuselage 

structure near the horizontal stabilizer 

front attachment fitting for loose rivets 

and cracks, and if necessary, repair. 

Cracks and loose rivets have been 

reported in this area which, if 

undetected, could result in loss of the 

horizontal stabilizer and airplane 

control. The actions required by this AD 

will assure the structural integrity of the 

airplane in this area.

Com pliance: As prescribed in the 

body of the AD.
