(a) ReportsThe Commission shall, as soon as practicable after each matching payment period, submit a full report to the Senate and House of Representatives setting forth—
(1)
the qualified campaign expenses (shown in such detail as the
Commission determines necessary) incurred by the candidates of each political party and their
authorized committees,
(2)
the amounts certified by it under
section 9036 for payment to each eligible candidate, and
(3)
the amount of payments, if any, required from candidates under section 9038, and the reasons for each payment required.
Each report submitted pursuant to this section shall be printed as a Senate document.
(b) Regulations, etc.
The Commission is authorized to prescribe rules and regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c), to conduct examinations and audits (in addition to the examinations and audits required by section 9038(a)), to conduct investigations, and to require the keeping and submission of any books, records, and information, which it determines to be necessary to carry out its responsibilities under this chapter.
(c) Review of regulations
(2)
If either such House does not, through appropriate action, disapprove the proposed
rule or regulation set forth in such statement no later than 30
legislative days after receipt of such statement, then the
Commission may prescribe such
rule or regulation. Whenever a committee of the
House of Representatives reports any resolution relating to any such
rule or regulation, it is at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution. The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. The
Commission may not prescribe any
rule or regulation which is disapproved by either such House under this paragraph.
(3)
For purposes of this subsection, the term “
legislative days” does not include any calendar day on which both Houses of the
Congress are not in session.
(4)
For purposes of this subsection, the term “
rule or regulation” means a provision or series of interrelated provisions stating a single separable rule of law.
