Modification and Redaction of Contributor Information

The Federal Election Commission proposes to amend its regulations by establishing procedures for contributors or their agents to request the Commission--in certain limited circumstances when there is a reasonable probability the contributor may face threats, harassment or reprisal--to modify or redact, in whole or in part, certain contributor information (i.e., mailing address, occupation, and employer name) from a disclosure report or statement that has been filed with the Commission. The Commission seeks comment on the proposed rules and has not made any final decisions about the issues presented in this rulemaking.
