INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALLOCATION OF PRIMARY EXPENDITURES BY STATE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (FEC FORM 3P, PAGE 4)
There are five general categories of expenditures that are to be allocated to a campaign in a particular state. The sum of these expenditures are to be reported on the appropriate line for the state for both the reporting period and aggregate total-to-date. Each expenditure, in the categories listed below, shall be allocated to the state it is intended to influence. This is not necessarily the state in which the expenditure was incurred or paid. For the complete rules on Allocation of Expenditures to States, including the methods for allocating categories of expenditures, please refer to Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 106.2. Media Expenditures Allocable costs include expenditures for campaign advertising distributed through print media (newspapers, magazines, etc.), radio, television and similar types of advertising broadcasts. Media expenditures that are not allocable to any state need not be reported on this page. Such expenditures include those incurred for advertisements on national networks, national cable or in publications distributed nationwide, expenditures for media production costs and commissions paid in connection with print or broadcast media. (Costs of shipping material to a broadcaster or publisher are not production costs but are considered part of the allocable media air time or space costs.) Expenditures for the cost of media time or space used after the primary election has been held in a particular state are not allocable to that state. Expenditures for Mass Mailings and Other Campaign Materials Allocable costs include expenditures for mass mailings of more than 500

pieces to a particular state (fundraising and political mail, newsletters, etc.), and expenditures for the cost of shipping campaign materials (pins, bumper stickers, hats, T-Shirts, handbills, posters, yard signs, etc.). Expenditures for the purchase of the campaign materials described above are not allocable to any state unless they are distributed by mass mail or print media, or are used in the state in which they are produced. Non-allocable expenditures need not be reported on this page. Overhead Expenses of State Offices and Other Facilities Allocable expenses include rent, utilities, equipment, furniture, supplies, telephone service base charges, etc. associated with committee offices whose activities are directed at a particular state. In addition, expenses associated with campaign events held in a state are included in allocable overhead. Such expenses include costs associated with the rental of space in which to hold the event, catering, furniture, sound systems, staging, decorations, entertainment, etc. Fifteen percent of overhead costs may be considered exempt compliance costs. See 11 CFR 106.2(b)(2)(iii). Expenditures for Special Telephone Programs Special telephone programs include voter registration, get-out-the-vote efforts, fundraising and telemarketing efforts conducted on behalf of the candidate. Expenses associated with a telephone program targeted at a particular state are allocable to that state regardless of the location from which the calls are made. Such expenses include the cost of designing the program, costs of installing or renting telephone lines and equipment, toll charges, personnel costs, consultants' fees, related travel costs and facilities rental including a pro rata portion of national, regional, or state office space used for such purposes. Public Opinion Poll Expenditures Allocable expenses include expenditures incurred for consultants' fees,

travel costs and other expenses associated with designing and conducting the poll. Expenditures for conducting a nationwide public opinion poll need not be allocated to any state. Expenses that are not Allocated Not included among expenses that are allocable to each state are expenditures for the administration, staff and overhead of the national campaign headquarters. Also not included are salaries of staff working in the state or travel expenses for campaign staff, except as noted in the categories above, and consultants' fees which relate to national campaign strategy. Fundraising Expenditures Except for direct mail expenses, 50% of all allocable expenses may be considered exempt fundraising. Direct mail expenses for mailings occurring more than 28 days before a primary election may be considered 100% exempt fundraising. Those occurring within 28 days of a state's primary may be considered 50% fundraising. See 11 CFR 110.8(c)(2). Allocation This Period and Total Allocation to Date The column "Allocation this Period" reflects all allocable operating expenditures made by the committee during the reporting period, including any allocable expenditures made by other authorized political committees of the candidate. The column "Total Allocation To Date" is derived by adding the "Total Allocation To Date" from the previous report to "Allocation This Period" to provide total expenditures subject to individual state limits for the campaign.

The "Total This Period" amount (the last line on Schedule A-P) must be added to all other receipts for that category which are not itemized and carried forward to Column A, "Total This Period" of the corresponding line of the Detailed Summary Page. Contributions to a candidate or authorized committee which are not designated by the contributor for a specific election must be counted toward the contributor's limitation for the next election after the contribution is made. Contributions may be made for a past election only to the extent that the recipient has net debts outstanding from that particular election. See 11 CFR 110.1(b). Prohibited and Excessive Contributions. If a contribution is received from a business entity or is drawn on what is or appears to be a business account, the political committee must determine that the contribution is not from a corporation, government contractor, or other prohibited source. Otherwise, it must be refunded within thirty days of its receipt. A contribution which appears to be excessive, either on its face or when aggregated with other contributions from the same person, may be returned or deposited into a campaign depository but not used. If deposited, the contributor may be asked if a joint contribution was intended and, if so, to submit a written reattribution of the contribution signed by each contributor. The contributor may also be asked to redesignate the contribution for a different election if such a contribution would otherwise be permissible. If no redesignation or reattribution is received, the excessive contribution must be refunded within sixty days of its receipt. Both redesignations and reattributions are to be reported as memo entries on the report covering the period in which the committee receives the redesignations or

In addition, the committee's full name must be entered in the appropriate block. For each receipt required to be itemized during the reporting period, the political committee must provide the identification of the contributor, date and amount of the receipt, and the aggregate election cycleto-date total. The term "identification" means, in the case of an individual, his or her full name, including: first name, middle name or initial, if available, and last name; mailing address; occupation; and the name of his or her employer; and, in the case of any other person, the person's full name and address. The occupation and name of employer are only required to be provided for receipts from individuals. "Occupation" means the principal job title or position of an individual, whether or not self employed. "Employer" means the organization or person by whom an individual is employed, and not the name of his or her supervisor. Authorized committees must indicate the election for which the receipt was given. In the event the receipt was given for an election other than the current primary cycle or general election, the "Other" block must be checked and the type of election or purpose specified. The "aggregate election cycle-to-date" total must be given for each receipt and must equal the total amount that the person has given to the committee for that

reattributions. Indicate how the contribution(s) was reported initially, followed by the redesignated or reattributed entry(ies). See 11 CFR 104.8 for the reporting of these types of contributions. Committees receiving public funds should also see 11 CFR 9003.3. Contributions In-Kind. Contributions in-kind (i.e., goods and services provided to a political committee) are treated as any other contribution and must be reported and itemized under the appropriate category of receipts. For example, a contribution in-kind from an individual must be itemized on Schedule A-P and reported under the category for "Contributions From Individuals/ Persons Other Than Political Committees." The value of each contribution inkind must be entered in the "Amount of Each Receipt This Period" column. The amount or value of the contribution inkind is the difference between the usual and normal charge for the goods or services at the time of the contribution and the amount charged the political committee. The "aggregate election cycleto-date" total must include the total amount of all contributions that the person has contributed to the committee during the election cycle. The item must be labeled "contribution in-kind" and include the nature of the contribution (e.g., consulting, polling, etc.). Each contribution in-kind must also be reported in the same manner as an operating expense on Schedule B-P for the appropriate Line (e.g., Line 23, Operating Expenditures) and included in the total for that line number. Note that special reporting rules apply when an individual makes an advance of personal funds for a good or service but expects to be reimbursed. See the instructions for reporting "reimbursed advances by staff " in the Campaign Guide for Congressional Candidates. Earmarked Contributions. For each earmarked contribution received (regardless of the amount), the political committee must report on Schedule AP the name and address of the original contributor, the date of receipt and the amount of the contribution and, if the

original contributor makes contributions aggregating in excess of $200 to the political committee during the election cycle, the occupation and name of employer. If the contribution passes through a political committee or Federal candidate, the conduit (intermediary) committee must disclose each contribution, regardless of the amount, on both Schedule A-P and Schedule B-P and include the amount under the appropriate category of receipts and disbursements. If the contribution was passed on in the form of the contributor's check, the conduit must disclose each contribution on a separate Schedule A-P attached to the conduit's next report and the amounts of such contributions are not required to be included in the totals for the appropriate categories of receipts and disbursements. If a political committee is not a conduit, but is the intended recipient, the political committee must report each conduit through which the earmarked contribution passed, including the name and address of the conduit, and whether the contribution was passed on in cash, by the contributor's check, or by the conduit's check. If the conduit exercises direction and control over the contribution, the earmarked contribution must also be attributed to the contribution limitations of the conduit. Partnership Contributions. A contribution from a partnership must be itemized if it is in excess of or it aggregates in excess of $200 during the election cycle. If the portion attributed to a single partner exceeds $200 during the election cycle, or exceeds $200 when aggregated with previous contributions from that individual during the election cycle, the required information for that individual's contribution must also be itemized as a memo entry to the partnership contribution. See 11 CFR 110.1(e) and 11 CFR 104.3(a). Checks Returned Due to Insufficient Funds. If a contributor's check is returned to the political committee due to insufficient funds and the receipt of the check was previously reported, the political committee must report the return under the appropriate category of receipts as a negative entry and thereby

net out the amount of the check from the total for that category. If the original receipt of the check was itemized on Schedule A-P, the return of the check must also be itemized as a negative entry on Schedule A-P. If the receipt of the check was not required to be reported, the return of the check should not be reported. Best Efforts. When the treasurer of a political committee shows that best efforts have been used to obtain, maintain and submit the information required, the committee shall be considered in compliance with the Act. For a detailed explanation of when the Treasurer has exercised "Best Efforts," see section 104.7 of the Commission's regulations (11 CFR 104.7). Loans. Report a loan received on Schedule A for the appropriate line number of the Detailed Summary Page, in the reporting period during which the loan is received. Also, disclose the loan on Schedule C-P, and, if from a lending institution, on Schedule C-P-1. If a candidate personally receives a loan from a lending institution, or an advance from a brokerage account, credit card or line of credit, and then contributes or loans some or all of those funds to the campaign, report the amount of funds contributed or loaned on Schedule C-P-1. If the candidate treats the funds as a personal contribution, report the receipt of the contribution from the candidate on Schedule A for Line 17(d). If the candidate treats the funds as a loan, report the receipt of the loan on Schedule A for Line 19(a). See also the instructions for Schedule C-P-1. A loan obtained by the candidate from a brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit or other line of credit that is used exclusively for routine living expenses does not have to be reported, provided the loan is not guaranteed by third parties and the loan is repaid exclusively from the personal funds of the candidate. If such a loan is used in part for routine living expenses and in part for influencing the candidate's election for Federal office, only the latter part must be reported.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE B-P, ITEMIZED DISBURSEMENTS (FEC FORM 3P)

General
Use Schedule B-P to list each disbursement required to be itemized. DO NOT combine more than one category of disbursements on the same Schedule B-P. Instead, use a separate Schedule BP for each category of disbursements. The line number of the Detailed Summary Page to which each Schedule B-P pertains should be identified in the upper right hand corner of each Schedule. In addition, the committee's full name must be entered in the appropriate block. For each disbursement required to be itemized during the reporting period, the political committee must provide the full name, mailing address, date, amount and purpose of the disbursement. The term "purpose" means a brief statement or description of why the disbursement was made. Examples of adequate descriptions include the following: dinner expenses, media, salary, polling, travel, party fees, phone banks, travel expenses, travel expense reimbursement and catering costs. However, statements or descriptions such as "advance," "election day expenses," "other expenses," "expense reimbursement," "miscellaneous," "outside services," "get-out-the-vote" and "voter registration," would not meet the requirement for reporting the purpose of an expenditure. For disbursements that are contributions to Federal candidates or authorized committees, the committee must include under "Purpose of Disbursement" the name of the candidate and office sought (including State and congressional district, where applicable) and the aggregate election cycle-to-date total of contributions made to that candidate or committee in the purpose of disbursement box.

For each contribution to a Federal candidate or authorized committee indicate in the election check-off box the election for which the contribution was made. In the event the contribution was made for an election prior to the current election cycle, the "Other" block must be checked and the type of election specified (e.g., "General 2000," "Primary 2000"). The election check-off boxes provided for each itemized entry on Schedule B-P should not be used when itemizing operating expenditures. The "Total This Period" amount (the last line on Schedule B-P) must be added to all other disbursements for that category that are not itemized and carried forward to Column A of the corresponding line of the Detailed Summary Page.

Miscellaneous
Contributions In-Kind Contributions in-kind received by the committee which are itemized on Schedule A-P must also be itemized for the appropriate line number on Schedule BP. In addition, in the "Purpose of Disbursement" box include the notation "Contribution In-Kind," and the nature (e.g., consulting, polling, etc.). Void Checks Disbursements that are reported and later voided should be adjusted by a negative entry to the appropriate category of disbursement. If the original check was itemized on Schedule B-P, the negative entry reversing the disclosure should also be itemized.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE C-P, LOANS (FEC FORM 3P)

All loans (regardless of amount) must be disclosed on the first report filed with the Commission after the date the loan is made. When filling out Schedule CP, the committee must enter its full name in the box at the top of the page, and use a separate Schedule C-P for loans owed TO the committee and loans owed BY the committee. Loans Owed by the Committee Itemize each loan received by the committee on Schedule A-P for the appropriate line of the Detailed Summary Page and also disclose it on Schedule C-P and Schedule C-P-1 (if applicable). For each loan owed BY the reporting committee, the committee must report certain basic information on Schedule C-P in the appropriate boxes: (1) full name and mailing address of the creditor; (2) the election to which the loan applies (i.e., primary, general or other); (3) the original amount of the loan; (4) the cumulative payment to date on the loan; and (5) the outstanding balance at the close of the reporting period (i.e., the remaining unpaid portion of the loan). If an intermediary is reported as the source of the loan, the original source of the loan must be disclosed in the first box for endorsers and guarantors with a notation that the person identified is the original source. Enter certain additional information on Schedule C-P in the box entitled TERMS: (1) the date the obligation was incurred; (2) the date the loan is due or the amortization schedule (if there is no due date or amortization schedule, enter "None" on the appropriate line); (3) the actual rate of interest charged on each loan (if the loan does not bear an interest rate, enter "None" on the appropriate line); and (4) check the box if the loan has been secured. In instances where the loan has endorsers or guarantors, supply the following information : (1) the identification

of each endorser or guarantor, and (2) the amount of the endorsement or guarantee outstanding at the close of the reporting period. The term "identification" means (a) in the case of an individual, his or her full name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer; and (b) in the case of any other person, the person's full name and address. In instances where the loan is derived from either a bank loan to the candidate or from an advance on the candidate's brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit or other line of credit, report the candidate as the source of the loan on Schedule C-P. In addition to reporting the terms of the loan in the appropriate boxes, disclose the type/ source of loan the candidate received (i.e., bank loan, brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit, other line of credit, or personal funds of the candidate) in the first box for endorsers and guarantors with a notation for loan type or in the box for "Loan Source" after the candidate's name. Continue to report loans owed BY the committee on each subsequent report until repaid. When a payment is made to reduce or extinguish the amount of a loan owed BY the committee, the payment must be itemized on Schedule BP, reported on the appropriate line of the Detailed Summary Page, and included in the "Cumulative Payment to Date" column on Schedule C-P. If any extension for repayment is granted, report this on the first report after the extension is made, along with the new terms or conditions of the extension. If a loan is settled for less than the reported amount, the reporting committee must include a statement as to the circumstances and conditions under which the debt or obligation was extinguished and the amount paid. A loan owed BY a political committee which is forgiven or settled for less than the amount owed is a contribution. Enter the total amount of loans owed BY the committee at the close of the reporting period on the line for "Total This Period" on the bottom of the last page and transfer the total to Line 3 of the last page of Schedule D-P. If no debts or obligations are reported on Schedule D-P, carry the outstanding balance reported for Sched-

Loans by Financial Institutions A loan of money by a State bank, a federally chartered depository institution (including a national bank) or a depository institution whose deposits and accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Administration is not a contribution or an expenditure by the lending institution if the loan is made in accordance with applicable banking laws and regulations and is made in the ordinary course of business. (See 11 CFR 100.82 and 100.142.) A Schedule C-P-1 must be filed for each loan and line of credit obtained from a lending institution. (See Schedule C-P-1 instructions.) Candidate Loans When a candidate obtains a loan that is then loaned or given to the campaign to influence the candidate's election to federal office, the information the principal campaign committee must disclose depends on the source of the money being loaned. If the candidate obtains a bank loan or a loan of money derived from an advance on the candidate's brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit or other line of credit, only the candidate needs to be listed as the source of the loan on Schedule C-P. The type of loan the candidate receives (i.e. bank loan, brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit, other line of credit, personal funds of the candidate) must also be disclosed in either the first box for endorsers and guarantors with a notation for loan type or in the box for "Loan Source" after the candidate's name. The terms of the loan between the candidate and the committee (not the terms between the candidate and lending institution) must be reported in the appropriate boxes along with information regarding the endorsers and guarantors. If the candidate obtains a loan from another person, list the other person as the original source of the loan and the candidate as the intermediary. Loans obtained by an individual prior to becoming a candidate that are subsequently used to influence the candidate's

election to Federal office must be reported as an outstanding loan owed to the candidate by the principal campaign committee, if the loan is outstanding at the time an individual becomes a candidate. Loans by Political Committees If a political committee makes a loan TO any person, the loan shall be subject to the contribution limitations. A repayment to the political committee of the principal amount of the loan is not a contribution by the debtor to the lender committee. (See 11 CFR 100.52(b)(5).) Endorsers and Guarantors A loan is a contribution by each endorser or guarantor. Each endorser or guarantor shall be deemed to have contributed that portion of the total amount of the loan for which he or she agreed to be liable in a written agreement. (See 11 CFR 100.52(b)(3).) Loan Repayments Each committee must disclose all loan repayments received or made by the committee. When a loan repayment is received by a committee, the repayment must be itemized on Schedule A-P and included in the "Cumulative Payment to Date" column on Schedule C-P. When a loan repayment is made by a committee, the repayment must be itemized on Schedule B-P for the appropriate line and included in the "Cumulative Payment to Date" column on Schedule C-P. Disclose the total amount of loan repayments of loans made or guaranteed by the candidate and the total amount of loan repayments of all other loans on the appropriate lines of the Detailed Summary Page. For candidate loans, the candidate's authorized committee may repay the loan directly to the candidate or to the original lender. The amount of repayment must not exceed the amount of the principal used for the purpose of influencing the candidate's election for Federal office and interest that has accrued on that principal. When repayments are made to the candidate for candidate loans, the committee is not required to

report the repayments made by the candidate to the lending institution.

Who Must File Schedule C-P-1 A political committee authorized by a candidate for President or Vice President that obtains a loan or line of credit from a bank or other lending institution must file Schedule C-P-1. An authorized committee must also file Schedule C-P-1 when the candidate obtains a bank loan or loan of money derived from an advance on the candidate's brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit, or other line of credit and the borrowed funds are used for the purpose of influencing the candidate's election for Federal office. 11 CFR 104.3(d)(1). (See Schedule C-P instructions on Candidate Loans.) When to File Schedule C-P-1 A Schedule C-P-1 must be filed for each loan and each line of credit obtained from either a lending institution or from the candidate, when the loan is derived from a bank loan or from an advance on the candidate's brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit or other line of credit. 11 CFR 104.3(d)(1).

Background:
1. FEC Regulations on Loans from Lending Institutions to the Committee Schedule C-P-1 seeks information on loans--including lines of credit--from lending institutions such as state or federally chartered banks, federally insured savings and loan associations or federally insured credit unions. The purpose of Schedule C-P-1 is to verify that a loan or line of credit does not result in a prohibited contribution from the lending institution, a violation of the federal campaign finance law. Under FEC regulations at 11 CFR 100.82 and 100.142, a loan "made in accordance with applicable banking laws" and "in the ordinary course of business" is not considered a contribution or an expenditure if certain conditions are met. One of these conditions is that the loan "is made on a basis which assures repayment." Schedule C-P-1 documents whether or not the loan complies with these requirements. 2. FEC Regulations on Loans Used for Loans or Contributions from the Candidate to the Committee Schedule C-P-1 also seeks information when a candidate obtains a bank loan or a loan derived from an advance on the candidate's brokerage account, credit card, home equity line of credit, or other line of credit available to the candidate, including an overdraft made on a personal checking or savings account of the candidate and that loan is used for the purpose of influencing the candidate's election for Federal office.

When filling out Schedule D-P, the committee must enter its full name in the box at the top of the page. DO NOT combine debts and obligations owed to the committee with those owed by the committee on the same Schedule D-P. Instead, use a separate Schedule D-P. Debts and Obligations Owed by the Committee (Other Than Loans) For debts and obligations owed BY the reporting committee at the close of the reporting period and which are required to be disclosed, the committee must report the full name and mailing address of each creditor, the amount of the debt outstanding at the beginning of the period, the amount of the debt or obligations incurred this period (including any f inance charges), the payment(s) this period to retire the debt or obligation, the outstanding balance at the close of the reporting period, and the nature or purpose of the debt or obligation. The terms "nature" and "purpose" mean a brief statement or description of why the debt or obligation was incurred (e.g., media, salary, polling, supplies and mailing). A written contract (including a media contract), promise or agreement to make an expenditure that has not been paid for by the committee is an expenditure as of the date the contract, promise or obligation is made, and is subject to the reporting requirements. Accounts payable and written contracts, promises or agreements to make expenditures in amounts of $500 or less need not be disclosed until outstanding for sixty days or more. Note that special reporting rules apply when an individual makes an advance of personal funds for a good or service but expects to be reimbursed. See the instructions for reporting "reimbursed advances by staff " in the CamREQ NUM

paign Guide for Congressional Candidates (also applicable to Presidential candidates). Debts and obligations owed BY the committee must continue to be reported on each subsequent report until extinguished or settled in a manner permitted by Federal Election Commission regulations (see 11 CFR Part 116 for settlement of debts). When a payment is made to reduce or extinguish an obligation owed BY the committee, the payment must be itemized on Schedule BP, reported on the appropriate line of the Detailed Summary Page, and included in the "Payment This Period" column on Schedule D-P. If a debt or obligation is settled for less than the reported amount or value, the reporting committee must include a statement as to the circumstances and conditions under which the debt or obligation was extinguished and the amount paid. A debt owed BY a political committee which is forgiven or settled for less than the amount owed is a contribution unless the debt is forgiven or settled in accordance with 11 CFR Part 116. The extension of credit by any person for a length of time beyond normal business or trade practice is a contribution, unless the creditor has made a commercially reasonable attempt to collect the debt. The total amount of debts and obligations owed BY the committee at the close of the reporting period must be entered at the bottom of the last page under "Total this Period" and added to the total loans owed BY the committee from Schedule C-P. The total amount of debts and obligations owed BY the committee (including loans) must be carried forward to Line 12 of the Summary Page. Debts and Obligations Owed to the Committee (Other Than Loans) For each debt and obligation owed TO the committee at the close of the reporting period, the committee must report: the full name and mailing address of each creditor, the amount of the debt outstanding at the beginning of the period, the amount of the debt or obligation incurred this period, the payment(s) this period to retire the debt or obliga-

tion, the outstanding balance at the close of the reporting period and the nature or purpose of the debt or obligation. The terms "nature" and "purpose" mean a brief statement or description of why the debt or obligation was incurred (e.g., media, salary, polling, supplies and mailing). Debts and obligations owed TO the committee must continue to be reported on each subsequent report until extinguished or settled in a manner permitted by the Federal Election Commission regulations (see 11 CFR Part 116 for settlement of debts). When a payment is received to reduce or extinguish a debt or obligation owed TO the committee, the payment must be itemized on Schedule A-P, reported on the appropriate line of the Detailed Summary Page, and included in the "Payment this Period" column on Schedule D-P. Written contracts or agreements (such as signed pledge cards) or oral promises to make contributions are not required to be reported. The total amount of debts and obligations owed TO the committee at the close of the reporting period must be entered at the bottom of the last page under "Total This Period" and added to the loans owed TO the committee from Schedule C-P. The total amount of debts and obligation owed TO the committee (including loans) must be carried forward to Line 11 of the Summary Page for FEC Form 3P, Page 1.
