RE:
Request that the Board waive the $1,400 late fee assessed against ABC Pelican PAC, a political committee who supported candidates in the October 2, 2010 election, whose 10-G campaign finance disclosure report was due by October 25, 2010 and was 7 days late.
Comments:
ELECTION: October 2, 2010
TYPE OF REPORT: 10-G
DAYS LATE: 7
ASSESSED FEE: $1,400
REPORT DUE: October 25, 2010
REPORT FILED: November 1, 2010
ACTIVITY REPORTED:
$0 in receipts, $0 in disbursements, and $199,612.37 in funds on hand

OTHER LATE FILINGS: 2



A 10-G report due August 8, 2001 and filed 30 days late in connection with the July 21, 2001 election. A 10-G report due October 30, 2006 and filed 9 days late in connection with the September 30, 2006 election. The $2,000 and $1,800 assessed late fees in connection with the August 8, 2001 and September 30, 2006 election have been paid.

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $1,400 late fee assessed for the late filing of ABC Pelican PAC's 10-G campaign finance report, Tim Johnson, chairman for the committee states that the committee believed it was not required to report the same transaction it previously reported on their 10-P report filed on September 16, 2010. Since the committee received no further contributions within the reporting period for a 10-G report, the committee believed it fulfilled their reporting obligations.

Recommendations:
Decline to waive based on prior late filings.
