FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

11 CFR Parts 104 and 109 

[Notice 2021–11] 

Rulemaking Petition: Subvendor 

Reporting 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Rulemaking Petition: 

Notification of availability. 

SUMMARY: On June 29, 2021, the Federal 

Election Commission received a Petition 

for rulemaking asking the Commission 

to amend its existing regulations 

regarding reporting expenditures and 

certain other disbursements. The 

proposed amendments would require 

political committees and persons who 

make independent expenditures and 

electioneering communications to 

itemize certain payments made by 

vendors to others on behalf of the 

reporting entities. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before October 4, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: All comments must be in 

writing. Commenters may submit 

comments electronically via the 

Commission’s website at http://

sers.fec.gov/fosers/, reference REG 

2021–02. 

Each commenter must provide, at a 

minimum, his or her first name, last 

name, city, and state. All properly 

submitted comments, including 

attachments, will become part of the 

public record, and the Commission will 

make comments available for public 

viewing on the Commission’s website 

and in the Commission’s Public Records 

Office. Accordingly, commenters should 

not provide in their comments any 

information that they do not wish to 

make public, such as a home street 

address, personal email address, date of 

birth, phone number, social security 

number, or driver’s license number, or 

any information that is restricted from 

disclosure, such as trade secrets or 

commercial or financial information 

that is privileged or confidential. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert M. Knop, Assistant General 

Counsel, or Ms. Joanna S. 

Waldstreicher, Attorney, Office of the 

General Counsel, at 

subvendorreporting@fec.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

29, 2021, the Commission received a 

Petition for Rulemaking from the 

Campaign Legal Center and the Center 

on Science & Technology Policy at Duke 

University (‘‘Petition’’). The Petition 

asks the Commission to amend its 

regulations at 11 CFR 104.3(b), 

109.10(e), and 104.20(c), to require that 

persons filing reports under those 

sections itemize all expenditures or 

disbursements made on behalf of or for 

the benefit of the political committee or 

other reporting person, including those 

made by an agent, independent 

contractor, vendor, or subvendor. 

The Federal Election Campaign Act 

(the ‘‘Act’’) and Commission regulations 

require that political committees 

disclose the name and address of each 

person to whom expenditures or certain 

other disbursements aggregating over 

$200 are made, as well as certain 

information about each expenditure or 

disbursement. 52 U.S.C. 30104(b)(5)(A), 

(b)(6)(B)(v); 11 CFR 104.3(b)(3)(i), 

(b)(4)(i). The Act and Commission 

regulations also require that 

disbursements aggregating over $200 for 

independent expenditures and 

electioneering communications 

similarly be disclosed. 52 U.S.C. 

30104(b)(6)(B)(iii), (c)(2)(A); 11 CFR 

109.10(e)(1)(ii–iii) (independent 

expenditures); 52 U.S.C. 30104(f)(2)(C); 

11 CFR 104.20(c)(4) (electioneering 

communications). 

The Petition notes that ‘‘if a disclosed 

vendor subcontracts with a third party, 

the payment to the subcontractor might 

not be disclosed,’’ Petition at 1, and 

asserts that ‘‘a substantial portion of 

FEC-reported political spending now 

consists of large payments to a small 

number of consulting firms that disguise 

where political money is ultimately 

going.’’ Petition at 3. The Petition 

asserts that this lack of disclosure about 

the ultimate recipients and purposes of 

political spending has a number of 

negative consequences: it ‘‘deprives 

voters of information they use to assess 

candidates and cast informed votes,’’ 

Petition at 4; it ‘‘becomes nearly 

impossible for researchers and 

academics to monitor digital political ad 

practices,’’ id.; it allows reporting 

entities to ‘‘disguise FECA violations, 

such as violations of the personal use 

ban’’ and ‘‘evidence of common vendor 

coordination between an authorized 

committee and a super PAC,’’ Petition at 

5; and it can ‘‘provide further cover for 

so-called ‘scam PACs,’’’ Petition at 6. 

The Petition asks the Commission to 

amend 11 CFR 104.3(b) to require 

additional disclosure by political 

committees, by adding a new 

subparagraph (5) that reads: 

(5)(i) Any person reporting expenditures or 

disbursements under this section must report 

expenditures or disbursements made by an 

agent or independent contractor, including 

any vendor or subvendor, on behalf of or for 

the benefit of the reporting person. 

(ii) An agent or contractor, including a 

vendor or subvendor, who makes an 

expenditure or disbursement on behalf of or 

for the benefit of a reporting committee or 

person that is required to be reported under 

this section shall promptly make known to 

the reporting committee or person all the 

information required for reporting the 

expenditure or disbursement. 

Petition at 6–7. 

The Petition also asks the 

Commission to amend sections

42754 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 148 / Thursday, August 5, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

109.10(e)(1) and 104.20(c) to add similar 

language requiring additional disclosure 

in relation to independent expenditures 

and electioneering communications, 

respectively. 

The Commission seeks comment on 

the Petition. The public may inspect the 

Petition on the Commission’s website at 

http://sers.fec.gov/fosers/. 

The Commission will not consider the 

Petition’s merits until after the comment 

period closes. If the Commission 

decides that the Petition has merit, it 

may begin a rulemaking proceeding. 

The Commission will announce any 

action that it takes in the Federal 

Register. 

Dated: July 29, 2021.

14 CFR Part 39 

[Docket No. FAA–2021–0612; Project 

Identifier MCAI–2021–00650–R] 

RIN 2120–AA64 

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo 

S.p.a. Helicopters 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to issue a 

new AD to supersede emergency 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018–23– 

52, which applies to all Leonardo S.p.a. 

Model AW169 and AW189 helicopters. 

AD 2018–23–52 requires inspecting the 

nut, cotter pin, lock-wire, and hinge 

bracket connected to the tail rotor servoactuator (TRA) feedback lever link, and 

each connection of the TRA feedback 

lever link, and repair if necessary. AD 

2018–23–52 also requires applying a 

paint stripe or torque seal on the nut 

and reporting certain information. Since 

the FAA issued AD 2018–23–52, the 

FAA has determined certain inspections 

and checks of the tail rotor duplex 

bearings (TR DB), installation of an 

improved TRA and TR DB, certain other 

actions, and applicable corrective 

actions are necessary to address the 

unsafe condition. This proposed AD 

would require repetitive inspections of 

the TRA, repetitive inspections and 

checks of the TR DB, installation of an 

improved TRA and TR DB, repetitive 

installations and checks of thermal 

strips, replacement of improved TR DB 

(life limit), and applicable corrective 

actions, as specified in a European 

Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) 

AD, which is proposed for incorporation 

by reference (IBR). The FAA is 

proposing this AD to address the unsafe 

condition on these products. 

DATES: The FAA must receive comments 

on this proposed AD by September 20, 

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following
