Extension of Administrative Fines Program

Section 721 of the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Judiciary, District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 ("2006 Appropriations Act") amended the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2000, to extend the expiration date for the Administrative Fines Program ("AFP"). Under the AFP, the Federal Election Commission ("Commission") may assess civil monetary penalties for violations of the reporting requirements of section 434(a) of the Federal Election Campaign Act ("Act" or "FECA"). Accordingly, the Commission is extending the applicability of its rules and penalty schedules in implementing the AFP. Further information is provided in the Supplementary Information that follows.
