On
February 10, 2016, the Federal Election
Commission received a Petition for
Rulemaking from Make Your Laws PAC,
Inc., Make Your Laws Advocacy, Inc.,
Make Your Laws, Inc., and Dan Backer,
Esq., asking the Commission to modify
its regulation at 11 CFR 112.3 to provide
time for the public to comment on drafts
of advisory opinions before the
Commission votes on the drafts.
Current Commission advisory opinion
procedures state that the Commission
‘‘will provide at least one draft response
to the Requestor and the public no later
than one week prior to the Commission
open meeting at which the advisory
opinion will be considered.’’ Advisory
Opinion Procedure, 74 FR 32160, 32161
(July 7, 2009). These procedures also
note that ‘‘prior to the open meeting,
additional advisory opinion draft
responses may be produced after the
initial draft(s) is released publicly,’’ and
that ‘‘[t]he Commission will make
available to the public and to Requestors
any and all additional draft responses as
soon as possible.’’ Id. The petition asks
the Commission to modify its regulation
at 11 CFR 112.3 to codify procedures
establishing specific time periods for
public comment on drafts of advisory
opinions before the Commission votes
on the drafts. The petition further asks
the Commission to amend existing
regulations to require that, when the
Commission makes public multiple
drafts of an advisory opinion, the
Commission indicate the differences
between those drafts.
The Commission seeks comments on
the petition. The public may inspect the
petition on the Commission’s website at
https://sers.fec.gov/fosers/, or in the
Commission’s Public Records Office,
1050 First Street NE, 12th Floor,
Washington, DC 20463, Monday
through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Commission will not consider the
petition’s merits until after the comment
period closes. If the Commission
decides that the petition has merit, it
may begin a rulemaking proceeding.
The Commission will announce any
action that it takes in the Federal
Register.

updated pertains to the requirements for
OCS sources for which Delaware is the
