Jkt 235001
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 https://
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.

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

establish a level of safety equivalent to
that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.
