AGENCY: ACTION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Nov 18, 2019 Jkt 250001 The Commission is withdrawing the notice published in the Federal Register on October 31, 2019, concerning filing dates for the Special Primary and Special General Elections to be held in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District because it was based on outdated information regarding when those special elections will be held. The Commission is now publishing a corrected version of that notice, reflecting updated information regarding when the Special Primary and Special General Elections will be held. DATES: The notice published October 31, 2019 (84 FR 58382), is withdrawn. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information Division, 1050 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20463; Telephone: (202) 694–1100; Toll Free (800) 424– 9530. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission’s notice published in the Federal Register of October 31, 2019, in FR Doc. 2019–23764, on pages 58382– 58383, is withdrawn because it was based on outdated information regarding when the Special Primary and Special General Elections in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District will be held. The Commission is now publishing a corrected version of that notice, reflecting updated information regarding when the Special Primary and Special General Elections will be held. Wisconsin has scheduled a Special Primary Election on February 18, 2020, and a Special General Election on May 12, 2020, to fill the U.S. House of Representatives seat in the 7th Congressional District vacated by Representative Sean Duffy. Committees required to file reports in connection with the Special Primary Election on February 18, 2020, 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 May 12, 2020, shall file a 12-day PrePrimary, a 12-day Pre-General, and a 30day Post-General Report. SUMMARY: Principal Campaign Committees All principal campaign committees of candidates who participate in the Wisconsin Special Primary and Special General Elections shall file a 12-day PrePrimary Report on February 6, 2020; a 12-day Pre-General Report on April 30, 2020; and a 30-day Post-General Report on June 11, 2020. (See charts 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 February 6, PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 63879 2020. (See charts below for the closing date for each report.) Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees) Political committees not filing monthly in 2020 are subject to special election reporting if they make previously undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the Wisconsin Special Primary or Special General Elections by the close of books for the applicable report(s). (See charts 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 2019 activity, labeled as the Year-End Report; and the other form to cover only 2020 activity, labeled as the Pre-Primary Report. Both forms must be filed by February 6, 2020. Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures in connection with the Wisconsin Special Primary or Special General Elections will continue to file according to the monthly reporting schedule. Additional disclosure information in connection with the Wisconsin Special Elections may be found on the FEC website at https://www.fec.gov/helpcandidates-and-committees/dates-anddeadlines/. Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity Principal 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), (b), 110.17(e)(2), (f). The lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2019 is $18,700. This threshold amount may change in 2020 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 website. 11 CFR 104.22(g) and 110.17(e)(2). For more information on these requirements, see Federal E:\FR\FM\19NON1.SGM 19NON1
