Some committees may choose to change their reporting schedule (for example, from monthly to quarterly). Those that wish to do so must notify the Commission in writing and may change their filing frequency no more than once per calendar year. (Tip: Quarterly filing PACs that support candidates in many different states may find it advantageous to file monthly during the election year, since monthly filers need not submit pre-primary reports.)
FOOTNOTES:
1 This category includes committees of candidates retiring debts from a previous election or running for a future election.
2 State, district and local party committees that engage in reportable "federal election activity" ("FEA") must file on a monthly basis. A committee that filed monthly in 2009 due to its FEA must notify the Commission in writing if it wishes to file quarterly in 2010.

Electioneering communications are television and radio communications that refer to a clearly identified federal candidate and are distributed to the relevant electorate within 60 days prior to a general election or 30 days prior to a primary, nominating convention or caucus (including a special election). Individuals and other persons who make electioneering communications that aggregate in excess of $10,000 in the calendar year must file disclosure statements with the Commission within 24 hours of distribution to the public.
Any individual, PAC or party committee that makes independent expenditures may have to disclose those expenditures within 48- or 24-hours, depending upon the date and amount of the expenditure. Please note, these special reports apply only to independent expenditures and not to direct contributions to candidates.
