In fact, the FEC voted in 2004 to terminate the 527 rulemaking, having failed to reach consensus on any of the regulatory proposals. Thus, it would have to put out a new Notice if it goes that route.

	Regarding my post:
	
	

	"Judge Grants Partial Motion for Summary Judgment in Shays II Case"...

	  
	UPDATE: A few readers (who have much greater knowledge of the day-to-day business of the FEC than I do) wrote to ask about my statement above that I believe the FEC is working on 527 rules. My memory on this point was faulty. Here <http://www.fec.gov/law/law_rulemakings.shtml>  is the FEC rulemaking page, and there is not any rulemaking listed there for when 527s should be considered as political committees. I had seemed to recall that when the FEC failed to enact rules for 527s in the summer of 2004, it put this on the agenda to consider after the 2004 elections. But that appears to be wrong.
