FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

11 CFR Chapter I

[Notice 2014-15]


Technical Amendments and Corrections

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission is making technical corrections to various 
sections of its regulations.

DATES: Effective December 29, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Amy L. Rothstein, Assistant 
General Counsel, Ms. Jessica Selinkoff, Attorney, or Mr. Theodore M. 
Lutz, Attorney, 999 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20463, (202) 694-1650 
or (800) 424-9530.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The existing rules that are the subject of these corrections are 
part of the continuing series of regulations that the Commission has 
promulgated to implement the Presidential Election Campaign Fund Act, 
26 U.S.C. 9001-13, and the Presidential Primary Matching Payment 
Account Act, 26 U.S.C. 9031-42 (collectively, the ``Funding Acts''), 
and the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended, 52 U.S.C. 
30101-45 (formerly 2 U.S.C. 431-55) (``FECA'').

[[Page 77842]]

The Commission is promulgating these corrections without advance notice 
or an opportunity for comment because they fall under the ``good 
cause'' exemption of the Administrative Procedure Act. 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B). The Commission finds that notice and comment are unnecessary 
here because these corrections are merely typographical and technical; 
they effect no substantive changes to any rule. For the same reason, 
these corrections fall within the ``good cause'' exception to the 
delayed effective date provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 
and the Congressional Review Act. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), 808(2).
    Moreover, because these corrections are exempt from the notice and 
comment procedure of the Administrative Procedure Act under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b), the Commission is not required to conduct a regulatory 
flexibility analysis under 5 U.S.C. 603 or 604. See 5 U.S.C. 601(2), 
604(a). Nor is the Commission required to submit these revisions for 
congressional review under FECA or the Funding Acts. See 52 U.S.C. 
30111(d)(1), (4) (formerly 2 U.S.C. 438(d)(1), (4)) (providing for 
congressional review when Commission ``prescribe[s]'' a ``rule of 
law''); 26 U.S.C. 9009(c)(1), (4) (same); 26 U.S.C. 9039(c)(1), (4) 
(same). Accordingly, these corrections are effective upon publication 
in the Federal Register.

Corrections to FECA and Funding Act Rules in Chapter I of Title 11 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations

    This document makes three categories of regulatory changes: 
Correcting typographical errors; updating references to the United 
States Code to reflect the recent transfer of FECA from Title 2 to 
Title 52; and correcting technical errors in certain updated citations.

A. Typographical Corrections

1. Corrections to 11 CFR 100.137
    The Commission is correcting two typographical errors in this 
section. Section 100.137 concerns the cost of invitations, food, and 
beverages provided by a volunteer ``on the individual's residential 
premises or in a church or community room as specified in 11 CFR 
100.106 and 100.107.'' However, the provisions concerning residential 
premises and church or community rooms are at 11 CFR 100.135 and 
100.136, not 11 CFR 100.106 and 100.107; there are no regulations at 11 
CFR 100.106 or 100.107. Thus, the Commission is replacing the reference 
to ``11 CFR 100.106 and 100.107'' with a reference to ``11 CFR 100.135 
and 100.136.''
2. Corrections to 11 CFR 114.1
    The Commission is correcting two typographical errors in this 
section. First, the Commission is correcting paragraph (a)(2)(v) of 
this section by replacing ``normal of comparable'' with ``normal or 
comparable.'' Second, the Commission is correcting paragraph (e)(3) of 
this section by replacing ``requirements on'' with ``requirements of.''
3. Correction to 11 CFR 114.3
    The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph 
(c)(1)(ii) of this section by replacing ``a communications'' with ``a 
communication.''
4. Correction to 11 CFR 9003.5
    The Commission is correcting a typographical error in paragraph 
(b)(1)(iii)(B) of this section by replacing ``dairy'' with ``daily.'' 
As corrected, the provision identifies a ``daily travel expense 
policy'' as an example of a ``pre-established written campaign 
committee policy.''

B. Updating References to the United States Code

    The Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the House of 
Representatives recently transferred the provisions of FECA from Title 
2 of the United States Code to new Title 52.\1\ This transfer changed 
the numbering of the Code sections but did not change any statutory 
text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The transfers occurred on September 1, 2014, for the online 
version of the United States Code and will occur with supplement II 
of the 2012 edition for the printed version of the Code. See Office 
of the Law Revision Counsel, Editorial Reclassification: Title 52, 
United States Code, http://uscode.house.gov/editorialreclassification/t52/index.html (last visited Dec. 1, 
2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, with certain limited exceptions, the Commission is 
making corresponding changes to references to Title 2 throughout 11 CFR 
chapter 1.\2\ For example, the Commission is revising the reference to 
2 U.S.C. 431(1) in the definition of ``election'' at 11 CFR 100.2 to 
refer, instead, to 52 U.S.C. 30101(1).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission is not updating citations that it already 
updated in two prior rulemakings. See Aggregate Biennial 
Contribution Limits, 79 FR 62335 (Oct. 17, 2014) (revising 11 CFR 
part 110); Independent Expenditures and Electioneering 
Communications by Corporations and Labor Organizations, 79 FR 62797 
(Oct. 21, 2014) (revising 11 CFR parts 104 and 114). The revisions 
made in the latter rulemaking are anticipated to go into effect in 
early 2015. See 79 FR at 62797 (noting effective date). The 
Commission is also not updating references in 11 CFR 300.12(d) and 
11 CFR 300.35(d) to a provision of Title 2 that was repealed prior 
to FECA's transfer to Title 52.
    \3\ See Office of the Law Revision Counsel, United States Code: 
Editorial Reclassification Table, http://uscode.house.gov/editorialreclassification/t52/Reclassifications_Title_52.html (last 
visited Dec. 1, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Corrections to United States Code References

    Several citations to Title 2 in Commission regulations contain 
typographical errors. In the course of revising the citations from 
Title 2 to Title 52, the Commission is also correcting these errors.
1. Correction to 11 CFR 1.14
    Paragraph (a) of this section erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 
437d(9) rather than 2 U.S.C. 437d(a)(9). The Commission is correcting 
this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(9).
2. Correction to Part 102
    The authority citation for this part erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 
441(d) rather than 2 U.S.C. 441d. The Commission is correcting this 
reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30120.
3. Correction to 11 CFR 114.6
    The authority citation following this section erroneously refers to 
2 U.S.C. 438(8)(a) rather than 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(8). The Commission is 
correcting this reference and updating it to 52 U.S.C. 30111(a)(8).
4. Corrections to 11 CFR Part 115
    The authority citation for this part contains several unnecessary 
and duplicative references to the public laws that established the 
Commission's rulemaking authority at 2 U.S.C. 437d(a)(8) and 2 U.S.C. 
438(a)(8). It also erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(10) rather 
than 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(8). The Commission is correcting and clarifying 
the authority citation by replacing the references to the public laws 
with updated statutory references to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(8) and 52 
U.S.C. 30111(a)(8).
    Additionally, although part 115 concerns contributions and 
expenditures by federal contractors, the current authority citation 
does not refer to the FECA provision concerning federal contractors, 52 
U.S.C. 30119 (formerly 2 U.S.C. 441c). Thus, the Commission is also 
amending the authority citation to include a reference to this 
provision.
5. Correction to 11 CFR 9038.1
    Paragraph (b)(1)(v) of this section erroneously refers to 2 U.S.C. 
437(d)(a)(3) rather than 2 U.S.C.

[[Page 77843]]

437d(a)(3). The Commission is correcting this reference and updating it 
to 52 U.S.C. 30107(a)(3).
