FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

11 CFR Part 110 

[Notice 2014–13] 

Rulemaking Petition: Candidate 

Debates 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Rulemaking petition: Notice of 

availability.

Federal Election Commission received a 

Petition for Rulemaking from Level the 

Playing Field. The petition asks the

candidate debates to revise the criteria 

governing the inclusion of candidates in 

presidential and vice presidential 

candidate debates. The Commission 

seeks comments on this petition. 

DATES: Statements in support of or in 

opposition to the petition must be 

submitted on or before December 15, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: All comments must be in 

writing. Comments may be submitted 

electronically via the Commission’s

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Robert M. Knop, Assistant General 

Counsel, or Ms. Jessica Selinkoff,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 11, 2014, the Federal 

Election Commission received a Petition 

for Rulemaking from Level the Playing 

Field regarding the Commission’s 

regulation at 11 CFR 110.13(c). That 

regulation governs the criteria that 

debate staging organizations (which the 

petitioner refers to as ‘‘sponsors’’) use 

for inclusion in candidate debates. The 

regulation requires staging organizations 

to ‘‘use pre-established objective criteria 

to determine which candidates may 

participate in a debate’’ and further 

specifies that, for general election 

debates, staging organizations ‘‘shall not 

use nomination by a particular political 

party as the sole objective criterion to 

determine whether to include a 

candidate in a debate.’’ 11 CFR 

110.13(c). The petition asks the 

Commission to amend 11 CFR 110.13(c) 

in two respects: (1) To preclude 

sponsors of general election presidential 

and vice presidential debates from 

requiring that a candidate meet a polling 

threshold in order to be included in the 

debate; and (2) to require sponsors of 

general election presidential and vice 

presidential debates to have a set of 

objective, unbiased criteria for debate 

participation that do not require 

candidates to satisfy a polling threshold. 

The Commission seeks comments on the 

petition. 

Copies of the Petition for Rulemaking 

are available for public inspection on 

the Commission’s Web site at http://

www.fec.gov/fosers/ and in the 

Commission’s Public Records Office, 

999 E Street NW., Washington, DC 

20463, Monday through Friday between 

the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Interested 

persons may also obtain a copy of the 

petition by dialing the Commission’s 

Faxline service at (202) 501–3413 and 

following its instructions, at any time of 

the day and week. Request document 

#275. 

Consideration of the merits of the 

petition will be deferred until the close 

of the comment period. If the 

Commission decides that the petition 

has merit, it may begin a rulemaking 

proceeding. Any subsequent action 

taken by the Commission will be 

announced in the Federal Register. 

On behalf of the Commission. 

Lee E. Goodman, 

Chairman, Federal Election Commission.

14 CFR Part 33 

[Docket No. FAA–2014–0637; Notice No. 33– 

14–02–SC] 

Special Conditions: CFM International, 

LEAP–1A and –1C Engine Models; 

Incorporation of Woven Composite 

Fan Blades 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed special 

conditions. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes special 

conditions for the CFM International 

(CFM), LEAP–1A and –1C engine 

models. These engines will have a novel 

or unusual design feature associated 

with the engine fan blades—new woven 

composite fan blades. The applicable 

airworthiness regulations do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for this design feature. These proposed 

special conditions contain the 

additional safety standards that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to 

that established by the existing 

airworthiness standards.
