  <description><![CDATA[ The Federal Election Commission is amending its rules to 
revise the method by which State, district and local party committees 
(collectively ``State party committees'') may pay salaries and wages of 
employees who spend 25 percent or less of their compensated time in a 
month on Federal election activity or activity in connection with 
Federal elections (``Federalrelated activity'' or ``Federalrelated 
activities''). These final rules implement the decision of the U.S. 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Shays v. FEC, 
which held that the Commission had not provided an adequate explanation 
for its former rules under the Administrative Procedure Act. The 
Commission is also changing its requirements regarding the method State 
party committees use to pay for employees' fringe benefits and 
clarifying its rules regarding the use of funds raised in joint Federal 
and nonFederal fundraising events. Further information is provided in 
the Supplementary Information that follows.
