must be submitted in either written or electronic form. Written 
requests and comments should be sent to the Commission's postal service 
address: Federal Election Commission, 999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 
20463. Faxed requests and comments should be sent to (202) 219-3923. 
Commenters submitting faxed documents also should submit a printed copy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 26, 1997, the Commission 
published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
['NPRM'] on multiple amendments to the requirements for recordkeeping, 
reporting, and filing with State officers at 11 CFR 102.9, 104.3 and 
part 108. 62 FR 50708. The NPRM announced that a hearing on the 
proposed rules would be held on November 5, 1997 if the Commission 
received sufficient requests to testify.
    The comment period on the NPRM ended on October 27, 1997. The 
Commission received comments from four sources; three of these did not 
request to testify at a hearing. A fourth expressed interest in 
testifying but was unable to appear on the scheduled hearing date. 
After further considering this comment, as well as the other comments 
received in response to the NPRM, the Commission believes a public 
hearing would be beneficial in considering the issues raised in the 
rulemaking. The hearing will be held at 10:00 a.m. on February 11, 
1998.

    Dated: December 18, 1997.
John Warren McGarry,
Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
