The Federal Election Commission is seeking additional public comment on previously proposed rules that would modernize the agency's regulations in light of technological advances in communications, recordkeeping, and financial transactions, and that would eliminate and update references to outdated technologies and address similar technological issues. In particular, the Commission presently seeks comments on whether its definition of "public communication" should also include Internet communications that are "promoted for a fee" on another person's website, digital device, application, or advertising platform. The Commission also seeks to elicit comments concerning whether "Internet public communications," a new defined term, should include public communications "promoted for a fee" on another person's website, digital device, application, or advertising platform. No final decision has been made by the Commission on the issues presented in this rulemaking.
