the following: (a) Stations at fixed
locations. The license or a photocopy
must be posted or retained in the
station’s permanent records. (b) Aircraft
radio stations. The license must be

license must be retained as a permanent
part of the station records.
The recordkeeping requirement
contained in Section 87.103 is necessary
to demonstrate that all transmitters in

Disclosure of Certain Documents in

Federal Election Commission.
Statement of policy.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Commission is adopting
a policy with respect to placing certain
documents on the public record in
enforcement, administrative fines, and
alternative dispute resolution cases, as
well as administrative matters. The
categories of records that will be
included in the public record are
described below.
DATES: Effective on September 1, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Adav Noti, Acting Associate General
Counsel, 999 E Street NW., Washington,
DC 20463, 202–694–1650 or 1–800–
424–9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
‘‘confidentiality provision’’ of the
Federal Election Campaign Act, 52
U.S.C. 30101 et seq. (FECA), provides
that: ‘‘Any notification or investigation
under [Section 30109] shall not be made
public by the Commission . . . without
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the written consent of the person
receiving such notification or the person
with respect to whom such investigation
is made.’’ 52 U.S.C. 30109(a)(12)(A). For
approximately the first 25 years of its
existence, the Commission viewed the
confidentiality requirement as ending
with the termination of a case. The
Commission placed on its public record
the documents that had been considered
by the Commissioners in their
determination of a case, minus those
materials exempt from disclosure under
the FECA or under the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552 (FOIA).
See 11 CFR 5.4(a)(4). In AFL–CIO v.
FEC, 177 F. Supp. 2d 48 (D.D.C. 2001),
the district court disagreed with the
Commission’s interpretation of the
confidentiality provision and found that
the protection of section 30109(a)(12)(A)
does not lapse at the time the
Commission terminates an
investigation. 177 F. Supp. 2d at 56.
Following that district court decision,
the Commission placed on the public
record only those documents that
reflected the agency’s ‘‘final
determination’’ with respect to
enforcement matters. Such disclosure is
required under 52 U.S.C.
30109(a)(4)(B)(ii) and section (a)(2)(A) of
the FOIA. In all cases, the final
determination is evidenced by a
certification of Commission vote. The
Commission also continued to disclose
documents that explained the basis for
the final determination. Depending
upon the nature of the case, those
documents consisted of General
Counsel’s Reports (frequently in
redacted form); Probable Cause to
Believe Briefs; conciliation agreements;
Statements of Reasons issued by one or
more of the Commissioners; or, a
combination of the foregoing. The
district court indicated that the
Commission was free to release these
categories of documents. See 177 F.
Supp. 2d at 54 n.11. In administrative
fines cases, the Commission began
placing on the public record only the
Final Determination Recommendation
and certification of vote on final
determination. In alternative dispute
resolution cases, the public record
consisted of the certification of vote and
the negotiated agreement.
Although it affirmed the judgment of
the district court in AFL–CIO, the Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit differed with the lower court’s
restrictive interpretation of the
confidentiality provision of 52 U.S.C.
30109(a)(12)(A). The Court of Appeals
stated that: ‘‘the Commission may well
be correct that . . . Congress merely
intended to prevent disclosure of the
fact that an investigation is pending,’’
