[Notice 1984-11]

Public Records and the Freedom of

Information Act; Access to Public

Disclosure Division Documents:

Amendment of Fee Provisions

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

a c t io n : Final rule; transmittal to 

Congress.

s u m m a r y : The Commission is 

publishing today revised regulations 

governing the fee schedules for 

reproduction of materials available

under the Freedom of Information Act 

and through the Commission’s Public 

Disclosure Division. The fee schedules 

have been updated to reflect the actual 

cost of items listed. They have also been 

revised to set fees in a more general 

fashion by describing the costs of 

reproduction instead of listing each item 

for which a charge is made. In addition, 

these rules establish a new procedure 

for handling requests for duplication of 

microfilm and computer tapes. Under 

the new rules, the requester will pay the 

outside producer of the requested 

material directly, to eliminate the 

requirement of debiting the 

Commission’s appropriation for these 

costs. Finally, the regulations contain a 

technical revision to Part 4, to clarify 

that the Commission does not charge for 

staff time spent on duplicating materials 

requested under the Freedom of 

Information Act. Further information on 

these revisions is provided in the 

supplemental information which 

follows.

e f f e c t iv e d a t e : Further action, 

including the announcement of an 

effective date, will be taken by the 

Commission after these regulations have 

been before the Congress 30 legislative 

days in accordance with 2 U.S.C. 438(d).

Counsel, 1325 K Street NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

29,1984, the Commission published a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking 

comments on the text of proposed 

revisions to 11 CFR Parts 4 and 5.49 FR 

22335. The comment period ended on 

June 28,1984. One comment was 

received in response to the Notice, from 

the Citizen’s Research Foundation. This 

comment focused primarily on a draft 

fee waiver provision concerning schools 

and libraries which the Commission 

deleted from the proposed rules before 

the NPRM was published. It also 

endorsed the concept of direct payment 

to private producers of microfilm and 

computer tape duplicates.

2 U.S.C. 438(d) requires that any rule 

or regulation prescribed by the 

Commission to carry out the provisions 

of Title 2, U.S.C., be transmitted to the 

Speaker of the House of Representatives 

and the President of the Senate prior to 

final promulgation. Since the revisions 

to 11 CFR Part 5 implement provisions of 

Title 2, these regulations were 

transmitted to Congress on July 26,1984.
Federal Register / Vol. 49, No. 148 / Tuesday, July 31, 1984 / Rules and Regulations 30459

Explanation and Justification of 1 1 CFR 

4.9 and 5.6

The revised regulations contain no 

changes from the proposed language 

published in die May notice.

The primary purpose of these rules is 

to update the fee schedules for materials 

requested under the Public Records and 

Freedom of Information Act, 11 CFR Part 

4, and Access to Public Disclosure 

Division Documents, 11 CFR Part 5, 

which have not been modified since the 

Commission first promulgated the 

schedules in 1979-80. The revisions in 

the fee schedules reflect changes in the 

“direct” cost to the Commission, or only 

those costs directly attributable to the 

actual reproduction of documents. It 

should be noted that, in the case of 

computer indices, the Commission has 

continued its present practice of 

processing requests for indices involving 

20 committee ID numbers or less without 

charge. The one exception remains 

requests for a name search, for which 

the requester will be charged based on 

the computer time used. Since this 

program searches all records on file for 

activity by a particular individual, it 

requires much greater resources to 

produce, often using several hours of 

computer time.

The format of die fee schedules has 

also been altered, hi the previous 

regulations, the publications for which 

charges are made were listed. This 

approach restricted the Commission’s 

ability to add new publications or to 

revise the charges made for documents 

when they become more voluminous.

The fee schedules as revised describe 

instead the Commission’s actual costs 

for different types of reproduction, 

eliminating the need to set forth the 

price of each document. An up-to-date 

fee schedule for particular publications 

will continue to be made available in 

the Commission’s Public Records Office.

A second purpose is to modify the 

billing procedure for microfilm and 

computer tape requests. In fulfilling its 

duties under the Freedom of Information 

Act, and in exercising its Public 

Disclosure functions, the Commission 

receives numerous requests for copies of 

records which appear on microfilm and 

on computer tape. Since the Commission 

does not have the facilities to duplicate 

microfilm or computer tape, private 

companies perform that service. 

Previously, the public requester paid the 

Commission a copying fee equal to the 

price billed to the Commission by the 

private duplicating firm. S ee schedules 

set out in 11 CFR 4.9(a) and 5.6(a). These 

monies were deposited directly into the 

U.S. Treasury, and the Commission paid 

the outside duplicating firm from its

appropriation. The Commission 

therefore requested an opinion from the 

Comptroller General regarding a 

proposed change in procedures 

governing payment of fees for 

duplication of records. The Comptroller 

General approved the change in 

Commission billing arrangements. S ee

Comp. Gen. Decision B-205151 (March 1, 

' 1982).

Under the revised regulations, each 

time a member of the public requests 

information in the form of microfilm or 

computer tape copies, the Commission 

will arrange for a private firm to 

produce that information and forward it 

to the Commission. The Commission 

will collect from the requester the 

appropriate fee for the duplication; 

however, the requester will make that 

fee payable not to the Commission but 

to the private firm which performed the 

duplicating. The Commission, upon 

receipt of payment will forward the 

records to the requester.

The cost ot the requester will continue 

to be regulated by the contract between 

the Commission and the private 

company and will not exceed the fees 

which the Commission would have been 

authorized to charge if it had processed 

the request in-house.

All non-exempt Commission 

documents which are on microfilm will 

continue to be available for inspection 

and copying at the Commission’s Public 

Disclosure Division located on the street 

level, 1325 K Street, N.W., Washington,

D.C.

Lastly, 11 CFR 4.9(a) has been 

modified for grammatical purposes and 

to delete language which purported to 

authorize the Commission to assess a 

fee for staff time spent in duplicating 

Freedom of Information Act materials. 

The Commission does not assess a fee 

for such time.

Federal Financing of Presidential

Nominating Conventions

a g e n c y: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendments.

SUMMARY: The Commission is 

publishing today technical amendments 

to its regulations at 11 CFR Part 9008, 

governing public financing of 

Presidential Nominating Conventions. 

These amendments bring the regulations 

into conformance with recent changes in 

Title 26, United States Code, enacted by 

Congress. The amendments raise the 

level of entitlement for major parties 

under these provisions from $3 million 

to $4 million.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31,1984.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT*.

Counsel, 1325 K Street, N.W.,

or (800) 424-9530.

s u p p l e m e n t a r y in f o r m a t io n : On June

29,1984, the House of Representatives 

and the Senate passed H.R. 5950. Pub. L. 

98-355. This bill increased the public 

financing entitlement of the major 

parties for their presidential nominating 

conventions under 26 U.S.C. § 9008 from 

$3 million to $4 million. The provisions 

of the bill became effective upon being 

signed by the President, which oecurred 

on July 11,1984. The Commission has 

accordingly made technical 

amendments to its regulations, at 11 

CFR 9008.1(a) and 9008.3(a), in 

conformance with the legislation.

Because these amendments simply 

reflect changes in the law, they are not 

substantive rules requiring notice and 

comment under the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, or delay in 

prescription under the legislative review 

provisions of 26 U.S.C 9009(c). These 

amendments are, therefore, made 

effective on July 31,1984.

These final rules will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. The 

basis for this certification is that no 

committee subject to these rules is a 

small entity.

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 

committee receiving public funds are 

limited to $4,000,000, as adjusted by the 

Consumer Price Index. New parties are 

not entitled to receive any public funds 

to defray convention expenses.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

13 CFR Part 101

[Revision 2— Arndt. 38]

Delegations of Authority to Conduct

Program Activities in Field Offices

AGENCY: Small Business Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: On March 3,1983 the 

Administrator approved a delegation of 

authority, on a one year pilot project 

basis in Region IV only, now expired, , 

that gave designated Senior Loan 

Specialists authority to approve, decline, 

or take servicing and liquidation actions 

on loans. These designated officers were 

delegated authority equal to the 

Supervisory Loan Specialist, Financing 

Division, District Office (D/O), the 

Supervisory Loan Specialist, Portfolio 

Management, D/O, and the Supervisory 

Loan Specialist, Liquidation, D/O, but 

with no supervisory authority for 

responsibility. The Senior Loan 

Specialists functioned.under supervision 

of a regular supervisor such as a Deputy 

District Director, an Assistant District 

Director/Finance and Investment, or a 

Chief, Financing Division and freed 

Supervisory Loan Officers from some of 

their routine work, allowed them more 

"time for management of a broader 

segment of their offices ând 

additionally, greatly improved the 

supervisor/employee ratio.

The Administrator has now approved 

a new delegation of authority 

reinstituting that authority to designated 

Senior Loan Specialists, in Region IV
