SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 29, 2021, the Commission received a Petition for Rulemaking from the Campaign Legal Center and the Center on Science & Technology Policy at Duke University Petition. The Petition asks the Commission to amend its regulations at 11 CFR 104.3b, 109.10e, and 104.20c, to require that persons filing reports under those sections itemize all expenditures or disbursements made on behalf of or for the benefit of the political committee or other reporting person, including those made by an agent, independent contractor, vendor, or subvendor.
The Federal Election Campaign Act the Act and Commission regulations require that political committees disclose the name and address of each person to whom expenditures or certain other disbursements aggregating over $200 are made, as well as certain information about each expenditure or disbursement. 52 U.S.C. 30104b5A, b6Bv; 11 CFR 104.3b3i, b4i. The Act and Commission regulations also require that disbursements aggregating over $200 for independent expenditures and electioneering communications similarly be disclosed. 52 U.S.C.

109.10e1iiiii independent expenditures; 52 U.S.C. 30104f2C;
11 CFR 104.20c4 electioneering communications.
The Petition notes that if a disclosed vendor subcontracts with a third party, the payment to the subcontractor might not be disclosed, Petition at 1, and asserts that a substantial portion of FEC-reported political spending now consists of large payments to a small number of consulting firms that disguise where political money is ultimately going. Petition at 3. The Petition asserts that this lack of disclosure about the ultimate recipients and purposes of political spending has a number of negative consequences: it deprives voters of information they use to assess candidates and cast informed votes, Petition at 4; it becomes nearly impossible for researchers and academics to monitor digital political ad practices, id.; it allows reporting entities to disguise FECA violations, such as violations of the personal use ban and evidence of common vendor coordination between an authorized committee and a super PAC, Petition at 5; and it can provide further cover for so-called scam PACs, Petition at 6.
The Petition asks the Commission to amend 11 CFR 104.3b to require additional disclosure by political committees, by adding a new subparagraph 5 that reads:
5i Any person reporting expenditures or disbursements under this section must report expenditures or disbursements made by an agent or independent contractor, including any vendor or subvendor, on behalf of or for the benefit of the reporting person.
ii An agent or contractor, including a vendor or subvendor, who makes an expenditure or disbursement on behalf of or for the benefit of a reporting committee or person that is required to be reported under this section shall promptly make known to the reporting committee or person all the information required for reporting the expenditure or disbursement.

Petition at 67.
The Petition also asks the Commission to amend sections
