Sec. 101.1  Candidate designations (2 U.S.C. 432(e)(1)).

    (a) Principal campaign committee. Within 15 days after becoming a 
candidate under 11 CFR 100.3, each candidate, other than a nominee for 
the office of Vice President, shall designate in writing, a principal 
campaign committee in accordance with 11 CFR 102.12. A candidate shall 
designate his or her principal campaign committee by filing a Statement 
of Candidacy on FEC Form 2, or, if the candidate is not required to file 
electronically under 11 CFR 104.18, by filing a letter containing the 
same information (that is, the individual's name and address, party 
affiliation, and office sought, the District and State in which Federal 
office is sought, and the name and address of his or her principal 
campaign committee at the place of filing specified at 11 CFR part 105). 
Candidates for the Senate and the House of Representatives must also 
state, on their Statements of Candidacy on FEC Form 2 (or, if the 
candidate is not required to file electronically under 11 CFR 104.18, on 
his or her letter containing the same information), the amount by which 
the candidate intends to exceed the threshold amount as defined in 11 
CFR 400.9. Each principal campaign committee shall register, designate a 
depository, and report in accordance with 11 CFR parts 102, 103, and 
104.
    (b) Authorized committees. A candidate may designate additional 
political committees in accordance with 11 CFR 102.13 to serve as 
committees which will be authorized to accept contributions or make 
expenditures on behalf of the candidate. For each such authorized 
committee, other than a principal campaign committee, the candidate 
shall file a written designation with his or her principal campaign 
committee. The principal campaign committee shall file such designations 
at the place of filing specified at 11 CFR part 105.
