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,’’ E:\FR\FM\02AUN1.SGM 02AUN1
