automatic right to be heard at the 

meeting (limited to answering the 

Commissioners’ questions, if any). See 

supra Section I(C). 

The timetable described above is in 

addition to the existing 10-day deadline 

for accepting written public comments 

following the date the advisory opinion 

request is made public. See 2 U.S.C. 

437f(d). 

Expansion of 20-Day Expedited Process 

in Section 112.4(b) to Other Requestors 

The Commission has an expedited 

procedure provided for in 2 U.S.C. 

437f(a)(2) and implemented in 11 CFR 

112.4(b) for certain advisory opinions. 

This expedited procedure is currently 

limited to any candidate or candidate’s 

authorized committee that: (1) Submits 

a request within 60 calendar days 

preceding the date of an election for 

Federal office; (2) presents a specific 

transaction or activity related to the 

election; and (3) explains in the request 

the electoral connection. The 

Commission recognizes that this 

procedure does not apply to other 

entities or individuals, and in 

recognition of this will attempt to apply 

an expedited schedule to any entity or 

individual who, within 60 calendar 

days preceding the date of an election 

for Federal office, submits an advisory 

opinion request pertaining to a 

proposed public communication 

referencing a clearly identified Federal 

candidate. 

The Commission notes that this new 

practice with respect to electionsensitive requests is in addition to the 

Commission’s current, informal practice 

of expediting certain highly significant 

time-sensitive requests (whether or not 

relating to an upcoming election). The 

Commission endeavors to issue advisory 

opinions within 30 days under this 

general expedited process. 

Withdrawal of Advisory Opinion 

Requests 

A Requestor may withdraw an 

advisory opinion request at any time 

prior to the Commission vote on the 

request. Such withdrawal may be done 

in writing or on the record in the event 

a Requestor appears before the 

Commission. 

Summary of Advisory Opinion 

Timetable 

The following is a summary of the 

advisory opinion timetable, as modified 

by this program: 

(1) Requestor submits advisory 

opinion request. 

(2) Within 10 days of the submission 

of the request, OGC determines whether 

the request is ‘‘complete’’ and 

‘‘qualified.’’ 

(3) The Commission shall provide 10 

days for accepting written public 

comments on the advisory opinion 

request after the request is released to 

the public. 

(4) One week prior to the open 

meeting at which the advisory opinion 

is to be considered (three days for 

expedited requests), the Commission 

will provide at least one draft response 

to the Requestor and the public for 

comment. 

(5) Requestor may submit a notice 

indicating that they will be available to 

respond to questions from the 

Commission no later than 48 hours prior 

to the open meeting at which the 

advisory opinion is to be considered. 

(6) In the event subsequent advisory 

opinion draft responses are made 

available to the public and Requestor 

after one week (or three days for 20-day 

expedited requests) prior to the open 

meeting at which the advisory opinion 

is to be considered, the Requestor shall 

have an automatic right to appear before 

the Commission. 

II. Program Implementation 

The new procedures for Requestors to 

appear before the Commission described 

in Sections I(B) through (D), supra, shall 

be in effect immediately upon the 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission will evaluate the new 

procedures and consider whether the 

procedures should, by an affirmative 

four votes of the Commission, be 

discontinued or modified. After one 

calendar year, the program will 

continue as a pilot program until such 

time that the Commission either 

terminates it by an affirmative four votes 

or makes it permanent by an affirmative 

four votes. 

Dated: June 30, 2009. 

On behalf of the Commission, 

Steven T. Walther, 

Chairman, Federal Election Commission.

A. Purpose 

Under the Free Trade Agreements Act 

of 1979, unless specifically exempted by 

statute or regulation, agencies are 

required to evaluate offers over a certain 

dollar limitation to supply an eligible 

product without regard to the 

restrictions of the Buy American Act or 

the Balance of Payments program. 

Offerors identify excluded end products 

and FTA end products on this 

certificate. 

The contracting officer uses the 

information to identify the offered items 

which are domestic and FTA country 

end products so as to give these 

products a preference during the 

evaluation of offers. Items having 

components of unknown origin are 

considered to have been mined, 

produced, or manufactured outside the 

United States.
