FEC form instructions revised
June 1, 2006
The Commission has made technical revisions to the instructions for two FEC forms to reflect various changes in the FEC’s regulations made as a result of the court decision in Shays v. FEC. No forms were revised. The changes include:
- Modifying the instructions for FEC Form 3X, Report of Receipts and Disbursements for Other than an Authorized Committee, to reflect recent changes in the allocation regulations and federal election activity definitions that affect political party committees.
- Modifying the instructions for FEC Form 9, 24-Hour Notice of Disbursements for Electioneering Communications, to reflect recent updates to the regulations governing those disbursements.
The revised form instructions were transmitted to Congress on April 18, 2006 and took effect on May 18, 2006. As of that date, older versions of these instructions are obsolete and should not be used. The revised form instructions are available on the FEC’s website or by calling, toll-free, 800/424-9530, press 6.
