\1\ The reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the last report filed. If the committee
  is new and has not previously filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that occurred before
  the committee registered as a political committee up through the close of books for the first report due.
\2\ Notice that this filing deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not extended
  when they fall on nonworking days. Accordingly, reports filed on paper by methods other than registered,
  certified or overnight mail must be received before the Commission's close of business on the last business
  day before the deadline.


    Dated: June 7, 2023.

Dara S. Lindenbaum,
Chair, Federal Election Commission.
