FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Dear Treasurer:
This letter is prompted by the Commission's preliminary review of the report referenced
above. This notice requests information essential to full public disclosure of your federal
election campaign finances. Failure to adequately respond by the response date
noted above could result in an audit or enforcement action. Additional information
is needed for the following 9 item(s):
For redesignations, the funds can be retained if, within 60 days of receipt, the
excessive amount is properly redesignated for a different election. An excessive
contribution is considered properly redesignated if (1) the committee obtains
signed written documentation from the contributor(s) authorizing the
redesignation of the contribution for another election, provided that the new
designation does not exceed the limitations on contributions made with respect
to that election; or (2) your committee redesignates by presumption the
excessive portion of the contribution for another election provided that the new
designation does not exceed the limitations on contributions made with respect
to that election. In this case, the treasurer must notify the contributor of the
redesignation in writing within 60 days of the treasurer's receipt of the
contribution. The notification must give the contributor an opportunity to
request a refund. (11 CFR § 110.1(b)(5)(ii)(B)) Please note that you cannot
presumptively redesignate an excessive contribution from a multi-candidate
committee. Also, a contribution can only be redesignated to a previous election
to the extent that the contribution does not exceed the committee's net debts
outstanding for that election. (11 CFR § 110.1(b)(3)(i))
If you have not already done so, please inform the Commission of your
corrective action immediately in writing and provide photocopies of any refund

Although the Commission may take further legal action concerning the
acceptance of excessive contributions, your prompt action to refund,
redesignate, and/or reattribute the excessive amount will be taken into
consideration.
Since the candidate is not seeking office and will not participate in the general
election, any contribution received for the general election must be returned to
the donors, in accordance with 11 CFR § 110.1(b)(3). The use of general election
contributions to pay primary debts and obligations is prohibited under the Act as
such use could result in individuals making contributions with respect to the
primary election in excess of the $3,300 per election limit.
The attached general election contributions do not appear to have been remedied .
Any subsequent report(s) filed with the Commission must disclose the refund of
any general election contributions. Refunds must be done within 60 days after
the candidate's announcement not to seek office/re-election.
If you have not already done so, please inform the Commission of your
corrective action immediately in writing and provide a photocopy of your check
for any refund. Refunds are reported on Line 20(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, of
the Detailed Summary Page and on a supporting Schedule B of the report
covering the period in which they are made. (11 CFR § 104.8(d)(4))
Although the Commission may take further legal action, your prompt action to
refund these contributions will be taken into consideration.
If you have received prohibited contributions, you must make a refund. (11 CFR §
103.3(b)(1)) The refund must be made within 30 days of the treasurer becoming
aware of the illegality of the contribution. (11 CFR § 103.3(b)(2))
If you have not already done so, please inform the Commission of your
corrective action immediately in writing and provide a photocopy of any refund
checks. Refunds must be reported on a Schedule B supporting Line 20(b) or (c),
as applicable, of the report covering the period in which the refund was made. (11
CFR § 104.8(d)(4))
Although the Commission may take further legal action concerning the
acceptance of prohibited contributions, your prompt action to refund the
prohibited amount will be taken into consideration.

aggregate in excess of $200 for the election cycle, the staff advance payment to
the vendor must also be itemized in a memo entry for that reimbursement. Each
memo entry must include the complete name and address of the original vendor,
as well as the date, amount, and detailed purpose of the advance. If itemization is
not necessary for a particular reimbursement to staff in excess of $500, you
must indicate so in an amendment to this report. Please amend your report to
include the missing or clarifying information. See Advisory Opinion 1996-20 for
additional clarification. (11 CFR § 104.9)
Please note, you will not receive an additional notice from the Commission on this
matter. Adequate responses must be received by the Commission on or before the due
date noted above to be taken into consideration in determining whether audit action will
be initiated. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Act may also result in an
enforcement action against the committee. Any response submitted by your committee
will be placed on the public record and will be considered by the Commission prior to
taking enforcement action. Requests for extensions of time in which to respond will
not be considered.
Electronic filers must file amendments (to include statements, designations and reports)
in an electronic format and must submit an amended report in its entirety, rather than just
those portions of the report that are being amended. For information about the report
review process or specific filing information for your committee type, please visit
www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees. For more information about Requests for
Additional Information (RFAI), why you received a letter, and how to respond, please visit
www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/request-additional-information. Should
you have any questions regarding this matter or wish to verify the adequacy of your
response, please contact me on our toll-free number (800) 424-9530 (at the prompt
press 5 to reach the Reports Analysis Division) or my local number (202) 694-1252.
