Help- My Report Is Late!

When reporting deadlines

approach, the FEC gets numerous

calls from individuals who, for one

reason or another, are not going to

be able to file their committee's

report on time.

No Extensions of Time

Many ask for an extension of

time, but the FEC does not grant

filing extensions. (In fact, the FEC

does not have the legal authority to

do so.)

Penalties

Understandably, the individuals

are worried about penalties. The

Commission does not have fixed

penalties but pursues late filers on a

case-by-case basis. A committee

Volume 20, Number 6

that repeatedly files late, however, is

at greater risk of a serious enforcement action than a committee that

misses one reporting deadline by a

few days. (See summaries of MURs

3248 and 3728, pages 2 and 3.)

What to Do?

File your report as soon as you

can.

Do not delay filing a report

because the treasurer is unavailable

to sign it or because you are waiting

for some records to complete it. In

the interest of public disclosure, file

the report anyway, but attach a

cover letter explaining that the

committee will file an amended

report to correct the deficiency.

Then file the amendment as soon as

possible .

Tips for Reporting on Time

• Appoint an assistant treasurer. An

assistant treasurer can sign reports

in the treasurer's absence . Be sure

to amend the Statement of Organization to include the name of the

assistant treasurer. This can be

done through a letter signed by the

treasurer or by filing a Form 1

amendment.

• Watch for FEe reporting notices.

These notices, which include blank

reporting forms, are sent to committee treasurers about three weeks

before a reporting due date.

Treasurers who rely on someone

else to complete the committee's

(continued on page 2)
Federal Election Commission RECORD

800 Line

(continued from page 1)

reports should immediately

forward reporting notices to that

person.

• Read the Record. The January

issue lists upcoming reporting

deadlines for the year, and subsequent issues include reporting

reminders. The Record also

publishes reporting information for

special elections. Committee

treasurers automatically receive

the Record. Free subscriptions are

also available-and recommended-for other individuals

involved in reporting.

• Highlight reporting deadlines on

your calendar. You can also note

your own deadlines for updating

committee records in time to

prepare reports.

• Keep an extra set ofFEe forms.

Although forms are sent with

reporting notices, keep a back-up

set of forms, just in case. Call the

FEC to order the forms you need.

Note that you can file reports on

legible photocopies of FEC forms.

Candidate Committees -

48-Hour Notices

Candidate committees should not

overlook filing 48-hour notices on

contributions. Committees neglecting to file 48-hour notices have paid

thousands of dollars in penalties.

(See, for example, MURs 3816,

3854 and 3924, page 7.)

Party Committees and PACsPre- and Post-Election Reporting

Unless your party committee or

PAC files on a monthly basis (see

below), you must file pre-election

reports-including pre-primary, prerunoff and pre-general election

reports-if your committee has

made any contributions or expenditures to influence the election during

the coverage dates for the report.'

Regardless of your activity, however, you must file a post-election

report after the November general

election.

Party committees and PACs

filing monthly do not have to file

pre-primary or pre-runoff reports

but do have to file a pre-election

report before the November general

election and a post-election report

afterwards. (The two reports are

filed in lieu of the November and

December monthly reports.)

PACs Only24-Hour Reports

Whatever your filing schedule,

your PAC may have to file 24-hour

reports on independent expenditures

made shortly before an election.•

I Please note that the FEC does not

send pre-primary or pre-runoff reporting notices to PACs and party committees. Nevertheless, treasurers ofthese

committees are responsible for filing

any pre-election reports that may be

required.

MUR3248

$45,000 Penalty for Late

Filing and Expenditure

Reporting Violations

A conciliation agreement between the New York Democratic

Party and the FEC included a

$45,000 penalty against the committee for several violations of the law.

With respect to reporting violations, the party committee filed four

consecutive reports between 8 and

42 days late. Additionally, in one

report disclosing over $850,000 in

280 itemized operating expenditures, the committee omitted the

"purpose" for almost 75 percent of

the entries and failed to include the

mailing addresses for 94 percent of

the entries.

The party committee (a federal

account) also accepted a $5,000

contribution that may have contained prohibited union funds

because it was made by an unregistered union PAC. This was a

violation of2 V.S.c. §44Ib(a) and

11 CFR 102.5(a), which prohibit a

political committee (including the

federal account of a state party

committee) from accepting funds

that are impermissible under federal

law. Under II CFR 103.3(b)(l), a

committee has 30 days from the

receipt of a questionable contribution to verify its legality or refund it,

but the party committee retained the

contribution for six months before

transferring it to a nonfederal

account. •

$15,000 Penalty for Failure

to File Reports

The Nevada State Democratic

Party agreed to pay a $15,000 civil

penalty for filing its 1992 October

quarterly report 144 days late and

for failing to file the 1992 pregeneral, post-general and year-end

reports. In each case the Commission had sent the usual prior notice

alerting the party committee of the

upcoming reporting deadline. After

the deadlines, the agency sent

nonfiler notices warning the party

committee that failure to file the

reports could result in an audit or an

enforcement action.

(Because a pre-general election

report is not automatically required

of all unauthorized committees

filing quarterly, the nonfiler notice

was not sent for the 1992 pregeneral report. However, it appears

the party committee had general

election activity during the coverage

dates for that report and therefore

was obligated to file it.)

Under the terms of the conciIiation agreement, the party committee

had 60 days to file the missing

reports and to make the first $1,000

monthly installment payment on the

$15,000 civil penalty. •

Nonfilers Published

The candidate committees listed below failed to file required campaign

finance reports. The list is based on the FEC press releases of April 29 and

Federal Election Commission RECORD

Legislation

FEC Recommends Changes

to Election Law

On April 28, the Commission

sent 62 recommendations for

legislative action to the President

and the Congress. In an accompanying letter, FEC Chairman Trevor

Potter noted that most of the recommendations had been proposed in

past years but without result, since

the federal campaign finance laws

have not been significantly amended

since 1979. He expressed hope that

the recommendations would be

especially helpful this year, when

Congress is considering major

campaign finance legislation.

The Chairman highlighted five

proposals among those that "woul~

ease the burden on political comrruttees and streamline the process for

the Commission."

I. Eliminate state expenditure limits

for publicly financed Presidential

primary campaigns, an outdated

provision that places an expensive burden on both the FEC and

the campaigns.

2. Combine the fundraising limit for

publicly financed Presidential

primary campaigns with the

overall spending limit in order to

reduce accounting and reporting

burdens.

3. Give the Commission authority to

waive unnecessary reporting and

to adjust filing requirements

when warranted (e.g., when the

close of books date for a prerunoff report falls on the day after

the primary).

4. Replace the current separate

limits for primary and general

election contributions to candidates with a single, election-cycle

limit in order to simplify recordkeeping and reporting.

5. Require disclaimer notices on all

communications by political

committees to the general public,

regardless of the content, to

4

simplify the rule and to eliminate

difficulties in interpreting "public

political advertising" and "express advocacy."

The Commission proposed two

new recommendations this year to

enhance disclosure of campaign

finance information. One would

require party committees to file 48-

hour notices on coordinated party

expenditures, and another would

require Presidential committees t?

group together all itemized contributions raised at a major event.

A third new proposal asks

Congress to review who is liable for

payment of civil penalties-the

current treasurer, the treasurer at the

time of the violation or the candidate.

The Chairman said that the 62

recommendations, if adopted,

"would improve the clarity and

administration of the federal campaign finance laws." +

Advisory

Opinions

AO 1994-3

Charitable Matching Plan

for Twice-Yearly Solicitations

EnviroSource, Inc. (Enviro) may

use corporate funds to match contributions to its PAC with donations to

charities selected by contributors

participating in twice-yearly solicitations. The Commission has approved similar charitable matching

plans for solicitations directed to

executive and administrative emI ployees (i.e., the restricted class).

AOs 1990-6, 1989-9 and 1989-7.

The plans were permissible because

the contributors did not receive any

financial benefit from the arrangement. The Commission therefore

viewed the corporate costs as perI missible solicitation expenses rather

than as a prohibited exchange of

June /994

corporate funds for PAC contributions.' 2 U.S.c. §441b(b)(2)(C);

11 CFR 114.5(b).

On the same basis, Enviro's plan

to match PAC contributions from

nonexecutive and nonadministrative

employees (i.e., the expanded class)

is permissible provided that Enviro

complies with the requirements for

twice-yearly solicitations. Those

requirements include the use of a .

custodian to preserve the anonyrruty

of expanded class employees who

contribute small amounts ($50 or

less or total calendar-year contributions of $200 or less). 11 CFR

114.6(d). In particular, the anonymity of those employees must be

safeguarded when Enviro PAC's

administrative board reviews the

selected charities.

With respect to Enviros proposal

to send letters to the charities

selected by employees, the letters

may not identify employees who

contributed small amounts; additionally, those letters must be

prepared and sent only by the

custodian.

FEC regulations prohibit certain

individuals from acting as custodian

for twice-yearly solicitations:

stockholders, officers, executive/

administrative personnel and other

employees of the corporation or its

PAC. 11 CFR 114.6(d)(l). An

individual employed as the PAC

treasurer may, however, act as

custodian if he or she does not hold

one of the listed positions and does

not participate in deciding how PAC

funds are spent. 11 CFR l14.5(d)(5).

The treasurer of Enviro PAC,

because he does participate in

selecting recipients of PAC contributions, may serve as custodian.

Candidate Status

Although William A. White, an

independent candidate for the U.S.

Senate in Pennsylvania, has voluntarily filed a Statement of Candidacy

and a Statement of Organization,he

is not a "candidate" under the

Federal Election Campaign Act

because he has not raised or spent

over $5,000 for his campaign.

2 U.S.c. §431(2); 11 CFR 104.1(b).

Congress adopted the $5,000

threshold "to relieve individuals

who do not meet the definition of

candidate of any registration and

reporting requirements under the

Act even if such individuals appear

on the ballot...." I

An individual's candidate status

under the Act has no bearing on

whether that individual qualifies for

ballot access, which is subject to

state law. Furthermore, the Federal

Communications Commission (not

the FEC) has jurisdiction over

Communications Act provisions

governing access to broadcast time

by "a legally qualified candidate."

Court Cases

FEC v. Rodriguez

A U.S. district court in Florida

recently held Cesar Rodriguez in

contempt of court and ordered him

to pay $100 a day until he pays a

$5,000 civil penalty, with interest

dating back to October 1988, when

the penalty was imposed. Civil

Action No. 86-687-CIV-T-1O.

On October 28, 1988, the U.S.

District Court for the Middle

District of Florida ruled that Mr.

Rodriguez knowingly assisted in

making contributions in the names

of others, a violation of 2 U.S.c.

§44 If. He was ordered to pay the

$5,000 penalty within 15 days.

Four years later, in November

1992, the penalty was still unpaid.

At a December 1992 contempt

hearing, the FEC and the defendant

told the judge that they had reached

a tentative settlement under which

Mr. Rodriguez was to pay $300 per

month while the FEC looked into

his financial position. But he later

Federal Election COJnmiEion RECO

refused to make the payments or to

provide information on his finances.

In February 1994, the FEC again

requested that the court hold him in

contempt. In granting that request

on March 3I, 1994, the court

ordered Mr. Rodriguez to pay the

$5,000 penalty, plus interest, and

$ I00 per day until the penalty is

repaid. The court also ordered him

to reimburse the FEC for its costs in

the contempt proceeding...

New Litigation

FEC v. GOPAC

The FEC asks the court to find

that GOPAC failed to register and

report as a political committee and

failed to include a disclaimer notice

on solicitations (violations of

2 U.S.c. §§433(a), 434(a) and

441d(a».

The agency alleges that GOPAC

became a federal political committee with reporting obligations in

June 1989, when it raised and spent

over $1,000 in contributions and

expenditures. That June, GOPAC

embarked on a direct mail project

that solicited funds to elect Republicans to the U.S. House of Representatives and to defeat Democratic

House incumbents. The FEC

maintains that the funds spent on the

solicitation, and the funds received

in response, constituted expenditures and contributions to influence

federal elections. The FEC further

contends that, between June 1989

registered and began reporting as a

political committee in May 1991,

one day after the FEC voted to

committee filed by the Democratic

The FEC also claims that additional GOPAC solicitations mailed

in July and August 1991 failed to

include the required disclaimer

stating who paid for the communication.

The FEC asks the court to impose

a civil penalty for each violation;

order GOPAC to file reports for

1989 and 1990; and permanently

enjoin the PAC from committing

similar violations of the law.

Audits

FEC Releases Audit Reports

on '92 Wilder and Fulani

Presidential Campaigns

The Commission recently

released audit reports on the 1992

Presidential primary campaigns of

former Virginia Governor Doug

Wilder and minor party candidate

Lenora Fulani. This brings to 8 the

number of completed public funding

audits for the 1992 Presidential

cycle; audits of the remaining 10

committees are still ongoing.

The final audit reports contain the

Commission's initial determinations

concerning the amount of public

funds a committee must repay to the

U.S. Treasury. The determination

6

becomes final unless the campaign

disputes the repayment. Final audit

reports are available from the FEe's

Public Records Office.

Wilder Campaign

The Wilder for President Committee received $289,027 in federal

matching funds. (Governor Wilder

withdrew early in the race, in

January 1992.) The Commission

determined that the campaign had to

pay the U.S. Treasury a total of

$40,242, consisting of the following

amounts:

• $5,200 in excessive contributions

accepted by the campaign; I

• $3,984, the projected amount of

prohibited contributions accepted

by the campaign; I

• $12,026, the pro-rata portion of

$42,224 spent on nonqualified

campaign expense s,' including

inadequately documented payments to employees, undocumented disbursements and

noncampaign-related plane trips;

and

• $19,032 in matching funds

received in excess of the candidate's entitlement.

Additionally, the campaign must

reimburse a total of $30,848 to the

Commonwealth of Virginia:

$27,977 to make up the difference

between first class airfare and the

smaller amount charged by the

Commonwealth for the use of its

aircraft; and $2,87 1 in phone

charges.

J The Wilder campaign, like the Harkin

campaign, disputed the Commission 's

authority 10 require payment of

excessive and prohibited amounts to the

U.S. Treasury. (See the May 1994 issue

fo r the Harkin audit summary.)

2 Becau se the campaign account

contains a mixture offe deral matching

funds and pri vate contributions, a ratio

fo rmula is used to determine the

amount ofmat ching f unds that were

spent on nonqualifi ed campa ign

expenses.

June /994

Fulani Campaign

The Lenora B. Fulani for President committee received a little over

$2 million in federal matching

funds. The Commission determined

that the campaign had to repay

$1,394, the pro-rata portion of

$3,235 in lost money orders. The

campaign had originally purchased

$28,440 in money orders to sell to

contributors who would otherwise

have made cash contributions,

which could not be matched with

federal funds.

The report also found that the

campaign:

• Accepted $107,072 in excessive

contributions resulting from staff

advances made by individuals

charging apparent campaign

expenses on their personal credit

cards;

• Failed to disclose $98,209 in debts

owed to a law firm but subsequently amended its reports to

correct the omissions;

• May have accepted a contribution

from the law firm since the committee did not satisfactorily

demonstrate that the credit was

extended in the ordinary course of

business; and

I • Failed to disclose donors' occupations and employers for several

itemized contributions, although

amended reports later corrected

most of the omissions. +
