The Enforcement Priority System (EPS) rates all incoming cases against
objective criteria to determine whether they warrant use of the Commission�s
limited resources.
Cases dismissed under EPS fall into two categories: low-rated cases and
stale cases. Low rated cases are those that do not warrant use of the
Commission�s resources to pursue because of their lower significance
relative to other pending matters. Stale cases are those that initially
received a higher rating but have remained unassigned for a significant
period due to a lack of staff resources for effective investigation.
Effective enforcement relies upon the timely pursuit of complaints and
referrals to ensure compliance with the law. Investigations concerning
activity more remote in time usually require a greater commitment of
resources, primarily due to the fact that the evidence of such activity
becomes more difficult to develop as it ages. The utility of commencing an
investigation declines as these cases age, until they reach a point when
activation of a case would not be an efficient use of the Commission�s
resources. As cases reach this point, they are recommended for dismissal.

*There are four administrative stages to the FEC enforcement process:
| 1. Receipt of proper complaint |
3. "Probable cause" stage |
| 2. "Reason to believe" stage |
4. Conciliation stage |
It requires the votes of at least four of the six Commissioners to take
any action. The FEC can close a case at any point after reviewing a
complaint. If a violation is found and conciliation cannot be reached, then
the FEC can institute a civil court action against a respondent.
