Report on October 25, 2012; and a 30-day Post-General Report on

regular quarterly filings. (See chart below for the closing date for 
each report).

Unauthorized Committees (PACs and Party Committees)

    Political committees filing on a quarterly basis in 2012 are 
subject to special election reporting if they make previously 
undisclosed contributions or expenditures in connection with the 
Kentucky Special General Election by the close of books for the 
applicable report(s). (See chart below for the closing date for each 
report).
    Committees filing monthly that make contributions or expenditures 
in connection with the Kentucky Special General Election will continue 
to file according to the monthly reporting schedule.
    Additional disclosure information in connection with the Kentucky 
Special Election may be found on the FEC Web site at http://www.fec.gov/info/report_dates.shtml.

Disclosure of Lobbyist Bundling Activity

    Principal campaign committees, party committees and Leadership PACs 
that are otherwise required to file reports in connection with the 
special elections must simultaneously file FEC Form 3L if they receive 
two or more bundled contributions from lobbyists/registrants or 
lobbyist/registrant PACs that aggregate in excess of $16,700 during the 
special election reporting periods (see charts below for closing date 
of each period). 11 CFR 104.22(a)(5)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These dates indicate the end of the reporting period. A 
reporting period always begins the day after the closing date of the 
last report filed. If the committee is new and has not previously 
filed a report, the first report must cover all activity that 
occurred before the committee registered as a political committee 
with the Commission up through the close of books for the first 
report due.
