FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

11 CFR Part 110

[Notice 1983-5]

Disclaimer Notices

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Transmittal of regulations to 

Congress.

SUMMARY: FEC regulations at 11 CFR 

110.11 governing the inclusion of 

disclaimer notices in political 

communications and advertising have 

been revised and transmitted to 

Congress pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 438(d). 

The revisions clarify the Act’s 

requirements for the use of disclaimers 

on solicitations and on communications 

expressly advocating the election or 

defeat of a clearly identified candidate. 

Further information on the precise 

changes made is contained in the 

supplementary information which 

follows.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Further action, 

including the annoiincement 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). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Susan E. Propper, Assistant General 

Counsel, 1325 K Street, NW., 

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

o r (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

revisions are based upon the 

Commission’s experience in 

administering 2 U.S.C. 441d and on 

public comment received in response to 

the Commission’s Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (47 FR 3796; January 27, 

1982).

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

or regulation prescribed by the 

Commission to implement Title 2, United 

States Code, be transmitted to the 

Speaker of the House of Representatives 

and the President of the Senate prior to 

final promulgation. If neither House of 

Congress disapproves of the regulations 

within 30 legislative days of their 

transmittal, the Commission may finally 

prescribe the regulations in question.

The following regulations were 

transmitted to Congress on February 25, 

1983.

Explanation and Justification for 11 CFR 

110.11(a)

The Commission has revised 

subsection (a) of 11 CFR 110.11 to . 

address several issues that have arisen 

concerning the current regulation. 

Overall, the language of this subsection 

has been redrafted to more closely 

follow 2 U.S.C. 441d.

Subsection (a)(1) has been revised to 

more clearly indicate that all 

communications that expressly 

advocate the election or defeat of a 

candidate or that solicit contributions 

must contain a disclaimer if they are 

made through a form of general public 

political advertising. References to 

posters and yard signs have been 

included in the list of media which 

trigger the notice requirement. In 

addition, the last sentence of this 

subsection now requires that the 

disclaimer appear on the front face of 

communications, such as those on 

billboards, that only have a front side 

viewed by the public.

Subsections (a)(1) (i) and (ii) generally 

follow 2 U.S.C. 441d(a) (1) and (2). 

Subsection (a)(l)(iii) has been redrafted 

to more closely follow 2 U.S.C. 

441d(a)(3).

Subsection (a)(l)(iv) has been revised 

to contain two subsections. Subsection 

(A) now covers solicitations directed to 

the general public made on behalf of a 

political committee that is not a 

candidate’s authorized committee. 

Subsection (B) exempts solicitations by 

a separate segregated fund from the 

disclaimer notice requirement when the 

solicitation is for contributions to the 

separate segregated fund. This latter 

provision incorporates into the 

regulations the Commission’s opinion in 

Advisory Opinion 1980-71.

A new second sentence has been 

added to subsection (a)(2), exempting 

communications made using means on 

which inclusion of a disclaimer would 

be impracticable. Examples of such 

means are skywriting and watertowers.

The Commission notes that 2 U.S.C. 

435(b), which required committees to 

include a notice on all literature and 

advertising stating that a copy of the 

committee’s reports were on file with 

and available from the Commission, was 

repealed by Congress in the 1979 

Amendments to the Federal Election 

Campaign Act, effective January 8,1980. 

Pub. L. 96-187.

List of Subjects in 11 CFR Part 110

Campaign funds, Political committees, 

Political candidates.

PART 110— [AMENDED]

11 CFR Part 110 is amended by 

revising § 110.11(a) to read as follows:

§ 110.11 Communications; advertising.

(a)(1) Except as provided at 11 CFR 

110.11(a)(2), whenever any person 

makes an expenditure for the purpose of 

financing a communication that 

expressly advocates the election or 

defeat of a clearly identified candidate,
8810 Federal Register / Vol. 48, No. 42 / W ednesday, M arch 2, 1983 / Rules and^Regulations

or that solicits any contribution, through 

any broadcasting station, newspaper, 

magazine, outdoor advertising facility, 

poster, yard sign, direct mailing or any 

other form of general public political 

advertising, a disclaimer meeting the 

requirements of 11 CFR 110.11(a)(1) (i),

(ii), (iii) or (iv) shall appear and be 

presented in a clear and conspicuous 

manner to give the reader, observer or 

listener adequate notice of the identity 

of persons who paid for and, where 

required, who authorized the 

communication. Such person is not 

required to place the disclaimer on the 

front face or page of any such material, 

as long as a disclaimer appears within 

the communication, except on 

communications, such as billboards, 

that contain only a front face.

* (i) Such communication, including any 

solicitation, if paid for and authorized 

by a candidate, an authorized committee 

of a candidate, or its agent, shall clearly 

state that the communication has been 

paid for by the authorized political 

committee; or

(ii) Such communication, including 

any solicitation, if authorized by a 

candidate, an authorized committee of a 

candidate or an agent thereof, but paid 

for by any other person, shall clearly 

state that the communication is paid for 

by such other person and, is authorized 

by such candidate, authorized 

committee or agent; or

(iii) Such communication, including 

any solicitation, if made on behalf of or 

in opposition to a candidate, but paid for 

by any other person and not authorized 

by a candidate, authorized committee of 

a candidate or its agent, shall clearly 

state that the communication has been 

paid for by such person and is not 

authorized by any candidate or 

candidate’s committee.

(iv) (A) For solicitations directed to the 

general public on behalf of a political 

committee which is not an authorized 

committee of a candidate, such 

solicitation shall clearly state the full 

name of the person who paid for the 

communication.

(B) For purposes of this section, 

whenever a separate segregated fund 

solicits contributions to the fund from 

those persons it may solicit under the 

applicable provisions of 11 CFR Part 114, 

such communication shall not be 

considered a form of general public 

advertising and need not contain the 

disclaimer set forth in 11 CFR 

110.11(a)tl)(iv)(A).

(2) The requirements of 11 CFR 

110.11(a)(1) do not apply to bumper 

stickers, pins, buttons, pens and similar 

small items upon which the disclaimer 

cannot be conveniently printed. The 

requirements of 11 CFR 110.11(a)(1) do

not apply to skywriting, watertowers or 

other means of displaying an 

advertisement of such a nature that the 

inclusion of a disclaimer would be 

impracticable.

SUMMARY: The EPA announces final 

rulemaking on a revision to the Ohio 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).

The revision is a variance from the 

December 31,1982, SIP deadline for 

achieving final compliance with 

emission limits, applicable to the 

Standard Register Company, for a 

surface coating line and spray booth for 

painting miscellaneous metal parts at its 

Dalton facility. The SIP revision allows 

the Standard Register Company 

additional time to convert to high-solids 

paints and extends the final compliance 

date to December 31,1983. EPA’s action 

is based upon a request from the State 

of Ohio to approve a revision to its SIP. 

d a t e : This action will be effective May

2,1983 unless notice is received within 

30 days that someone wishes to submit 

adverse or critical comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 22,1982, the Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(OEPA) submitted a revision to its ozone 

SIP for the Standard Register Company. 

The revision is in the form of a variance 

for an extended compliance time 

schedule to convert to high-solids paints 

for a surface coating line and spray 

booth for painting miscellaneous metal 

parts. The surface coating line and spray 

booth are located at the Standard 

Register Company in Montgomery 

County.

Under the existing Federally approved 

SIP a surface coating line and spray 

booth for painting miscellaneous metal 

parts are subject to the compliance 

schedule contained in Ohio 

Administrative Code (OAC) Rule 3745- 

21-04(C)(28) and emission limits 

contained in OAC Rule 3745-21- 

09(U)(l)(a)(iv). Final compliance is 

required by December 31,1982.

In lieu of the requirements contained 

in OAC Rule 3745-21-04(C)(28) the State 

is requesting an extended compliance 

time schedule for the Standard Register 

Company to convert to high-solids 

paints. The final compliance date 

contained in the variance is December

31,1983, for the surface coating line and 

spray booth at this facility.

The variance contains a compliance 

schedule which includes legally 

enforceable increments of progress 

toward compliance. To ensure 

reasonable progress in achieving 

compliance for a surface coating line 

and spray booth for painting 

miscellaneous metal parts, compliance 

schedules were established for the 

calendar year 1982 and 1983. The 

revised compliance schedule contains 

the following increments of progress: (a) 

submittal of a final control plan by 

October 22,1982; (b) conversion of 

french gray color line to high-solids 

paints by March 31,1983; (c) conversion 

of cinnamon air dry and bake enamels 

to high-solids paints by June 30,1983; (d) 

conversion of all remaining baking 

enamels to high-solids paints by 

September 30,1983; and (e) final 

compliance achieved by December 30,
