SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 9, 2023, the Commission published
a Notice of Hearing and Request for Public Comments concerning its
policies and procedures for the auditing of political committees that
do not receive public funds. 88 FR 1228 (Jan. 9, 2023). The Commission
will use the public comments that it receives and the testimony of
witnesses at the public hearing to help it determine whether to adjust
its internal directives or practices and, if so, how. The Commission is
not, at this time, seeking comments or testimony on its policies,
practices, and procedures regarding audits of publicly funded
committees.
The Commission welcomes comments and testimony on how it might
increase fairness, substantive and procedural due process, efficiency,
and effectiveness of the Commission's auditing of political committees,
and how the audit function could best serve the Commission's mission
and enhance disclosure and compliance with the Act. The Commission is
particularly interested in hearing from committees that have directly
interacted with the Commission in the audit process, and their counsel,
on how the Commission's audit policies and procedures have facilitated
or hindered committees' productive interaction with the agency and
substantial compliance with the Act.
On behalf of the Commission,
Dara S. Lindenbaum,
Chair, Federal Election Commission.
