On May 17, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) made available its updated FEC Form 1, the Statement of Organization for Political Committees, which now includes designations for superPACs and Hybrid Committees.
SuperPACs, which are technically independent expenditure-only political committees, and Hybrid Committees, which in turn are committees with separate non-contribution accounts, were required to file separate letters along with the old FEC Form 1 to receive those designations.
Additionally, the FEC has also released a new version of FECFile, its Windows-based software system committees can use for electronic filing, and a new version of its online webform.

On January 13, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) decided to revise its PAC registration form to explicitly include designations for superPACs and Hybrid Committees.
At its open meeting, the FEC approved a motion instructing the agency’s staff to expand Form 1 (Statement of Organization).
SuperPACs, which are technically independent expenditure-only political committees, and Hybrid Committees, which in turn are committees with separate non-contribution accounts, are currently required to file separate letters along with Form 1 to receive those designations.
The Commission hopes to have the amended form for their review by February 14.
