Filing Dates for the Florida Special
Election in the 19th Congressional
District

Jkt 220001
ACTION: Notice of filing dates for special
election.
SUMMARY: The Governor of Florida has
rescheduled the date of the Special
General Election to fill the U.S. House
seat in the 19th Congressional District
being vacated by Representative Robert
Wexler. The Special General Election,
formerly set for April 6, 2010, will now
be held on April 13, 2010. The Special
Primary Election date remains
unchanged.
Committees required to file reports in
connection with the Special Primary
Election on February 2, 2010, shall file
a 12-day Pre-Primary Report.
Committees required to file reports in
connection with both the Special
Primary and Special General Election on
April 13, 2010, shall file a 12-day PrePrimary Report, a 12-day Pre-General
Report, and a 30-day Post-General
Report.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Kevin R. Salley, Information Division,
999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC
20463; Telephone: (202) 694–1100; Toll
Free (800) 424–9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Principal Campaign Committees
All principal campaign committees of
candidates who participate in the
Florida Special Primary and Special
General Elections shall file a 12-day PrePrimary Report on January 21, 2010; a
12-day Pre-General Report on April 1,
2010; and a 30-day Post-General Report
on May 13, 2010. (See chart below for
the closing date for each report).
All principal campaign committees of
candidates participating only in the
Special Primary Election shall file a 12day Pre-Primary Report on January 21,
2010. (See chart below for the closing
date for each report).
Note that these reports are in addition
to the campaign committee’s quarterly
filings in April and July. (See chart
below for the closing date for each
report).
Unauthorized Committees (PACs and
Party Committees)
Political committees filing on a
quarterly basis in 2010 are subject to
special election reporting if they make
previously undisclosed contributions or
expenditures in connection with the
Florida Special Primary or Special
General Elections by the close of books
for the applicable report(s). (See chart
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66131
below for the closing date for each
report).
Since disclosing financial activity
from two different calendar years on one
report would conflict with the calendar
year aggregation requirements stated in
the Commission’s disclosure rules,
unauthorized committees that trigger
the filing of the Pre-Primary Report will
be required to file this report on two
separate forms: One form to cover 2009
activity, labeled as the Year-End Report;
and the other form to cover only 2010
activity, labeled as the Pre-Primary
Report. Both forms must be filed by
January 21, 2010.
Committees filing monthly that make
contributions or expenditures in
connection with the Florida Special
Primary or Special General Elections
will continue to file according to the
monthly reporting schedule.
Additional disclosure information in
connection with the Florida Special
Election may be found on the FEC Web
site at https://www.fec.gov/info/
report_dates.shtml.
Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling
Activity
Campaign committees, party
committees and Leadership PACs that
are otherwise required to file reports in
connection with the special elections
must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L
if they receive two or more bundled
contributions from lobbyists/registrants
or lobbyist/registrant PACs that
aggregate in excess of the lobbyist
bundling disclosure threshold during
the special election reporting periods
(see charts below for closing date of
each period). 11 CFR 104.22(a)(5)(v).
The lobbyist bundling disclosure
threshold for calendar year 2009 is
$16,000. This threshold amount may
increase in 2010 based upon the annual
cost of living adjustment (COLA). As
soon as the adjusted threshold amount
is available, the Commission will
publish it in the Federal Register and
post it on its Web site. 11 CFR 104.22(g)
and 110.17(e)(2). For more information
on these requirements, see Federal
Register Notice 2009–03, 74 FR 7285
(February 17, 2009).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Election Commission is

First General Counsel’s Reports on the
public record to promote transparency.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
I. Background
For approximately the first 25 years of
its existence, the Federal Election
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) placed on
the public record, at the close of an
enforcement matter, all materials
considered by the Commissioners in
their disposition of a case, except for
those materials prohibited from
disclosure by the Federal Election
Campaign Act (‘‘FECA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’) or,
in most instances, those exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’).
In 2001, following the decision of the
district court in AFL–CIO v. FEC, 177 F.
Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2001) (‘‘AFL–CIO’’),
the Commission placed on the public
record only those documents that
reflected the very final action in an
enforcement matter and the reasons for
that action. Then, after the court of
appeals decision in the AFL–CIO case,
333 F.3d 168 (DC Cir. 2003), the
Commission adopted an interim policy,
in which it said it would place on the
public record, among other things,
‘‘General Counsel’s Reports that
recommend dismissal, reason to believe,
no reason to believe, no action at this
time, probable cause to believe, no
probable cause to believe, no further
action, or acceptance of a conciliation
agreement[.]’’ See Statement of Policy
Regarding Disclosure of Closed
Enforcement or Related Files, 68 FR
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
70423 (Dec. 20, 2003) (‘‘Interim
Disclosure Policy’’).
In 2006, the Commission reconsidered
its practice of placing First General
Counsel’s Reports on the public record
after a case arose in which the
Commission adopted a recommendation
offered by the Office of General Counsel
(‘‘OGC’’) in a General Counsel’s Report,
but rejected one of several underlying
rationales for the recommendation.
Thereafter, OGC began recommending
the approval of a Factual & Legal
Analysis (‘‘F&LA’’) in all cases, not just
those with reason to believe
recommendations. From January 2007
forward, F&LAs providing an
explanation for the Commission’s
decisions were placed on the public
record in new enforcement matters, but
First General Counsel’s Reports were
not.
II. Return to Prior Practice
In the interest of promoting
transparency, the Commission is
resuming the practice of placing all First
General Counsel’s Reports on the public
record, whether or not the
recommendations in these First General
Counsel’s Reports are adopted by the
Commission.
The Commission will place all First
General Counsel’s Reports on the public
record in closed enforcement matters,
prospectively and retroactively, while

the Florida Special Primary and Special General Elections shall file a
12-day Pre-Primary Report on January 21, 2010; a 12-day Pre-General
Report on April 1, 2010; and a 30-day Post-General Report on May 13,

subject to special election reporting if they make previously
undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the
Florida Special Primary or Special General Elections by the close of
books for the applicable report(s). (See chart below for the closing
date for each report).
Since disclosing financial activity from two different calendar
years on one report would conflict with the calendar year aggregation
requirements stated in the Commission's disclosure rules, unauthorized
committees that trigger the filing of the Pre-Primary Report will be
required to file this report on two separate forms: One form to cover
2009 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to
cover only 2010 activity, labeled as the Pre-Primary Report. Both forms

more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or lobbyist/
registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of the lobbyist bundling
disclosure threshold during the special election reporting periods (see
charts below for closing date of each period). 11 CFR 104.22(a)(5)(v).
The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2009
is $16,000. This threshold amount may increase in 2010 based upon the
annual cost of living adjustment (COLA). As soon as the adjusted
threshold amount is available, the Commission will publish it in the
Federal Register and post it on its Web site. 11 CFR 104.22(g) and
