Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 212 / Friday, November 2, 2007 / Notices

Proposed Rulemaking in connection

with the NVRA rulemaking on

September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51132), and

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on

March 10, 1994 (59 FR 11211).

Following a public notice and comment

rulemaking, the FEC issued rules

implementing these requirements on

June 23, 1994. 59 FR 32323.

Section 802 of the Help America Vote

Act of 2002 (HAVA), Pub. L. 107–252,

116 Stat. 1727, 42 U.S.C. 15532,

transferred the FEC’s responsibilities

under the NVRA to the Election

Assistance Commission (EAC) but it did

not transfer the FEC’s previously

adopted regulations. In order to carry

out the functions listed in section 9(a)

of the NVRA [42 U.S.C. 1973gg–7(a)],

the EAC must promulgate regulations.

The EAC currently seeks public

comment on whether the agency should

administratively transfer regulations

previously adopted and maintained by

the FEC regarding the NVRA. The

administrative transfer would move the

existing FEC regulations (11 CFR Part 8)

to the EAC’s Code of Federal

Regulations site and only make

technical changes to the mailing address

and contact information for the agency.

EAC believes that good cause exists for

adopting the FEC rules as final EAC

rules without public notice and

comment under 5 U.S.C. 553 because

this rule only reflects an administrative

transfer of functions required by HAVA.

No substantive changes will be made to

the rules, which have already been

subject to public notice and comment.

Similarly, because this final rule is a

recodification of existing regulations, it

would not be subject to the effective

date limitation of 5 U.S.C. 5539d). After

the proposed administrative transfer of

the regulations, the EAC would take

steps to substantively amend the rules,

which would significantly involve the

public and include an opportunity for

public notice and comment pursuant to

the Administrative Procedures Act

(APA).

Again, the EAC is seeking comment

on its proposed plan to first

administratively transfer and then

substantively amend the NVRA rules

located at 11 CFR Part 8. At this time,

the EAC does not seek comment on the

substance of the regulations. As such,

this notice and request for public

comment is not required by or made

pursuant to the APA.

After review of the public comments

received pursuant to this notice, the

EAC will decide whether to

administratively transfer the regulations

and then substantively modify them, as

described above. If this process is not

adopted, the EAC will alternatively

VerDate Aug<31>2005

15:58 Nov 01, 2007

Jkt 214001

initiate a rule making process under 5

U.S.C. 553 independent of the FEC

rules. In either scenario, EAC will

follow all the rulemaking requirements

of the APA, which allows for extensive

public comment and transparency in the

regulatory process.
