Washington -- The Federal Election Commission is seeking comments on proposed amendments to its rules governing limitations on national, State, district, and local political party committees making or directing donations to certain tax-exempt organizations and political organizations.

The Commission has not made any final decision on the issues presented in this rulemaking. Comments must be received by January 10, 2005 . The Notice was published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2004 and can be found at http://www.fec.gov/pdf/nprm/party_donations_to_501c/notice2004-17.pdf All comments should be addressed to Ms. Mai T. Dinh, Assistant General Counsel, and may be submitted in either electronic or written form. Electronic mail comments are encouraged to ensure timely receipt, and should be sent to partytaxexempts@fec.gov .
