Search 26 U.S.C. § 9009 : US Code - Section 9009: Reports to Congress; regulations

(a) Reports
The Commission shall, as soon as practicable after each
presidential election, 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 9005 for payment
to the eligible candidates of each political party;
(3) the amount of payments, if any, required from such
candidates under section 9007, and the reasons for each payment
required; and
(4) the expenses incurred by the national committee of a major
party or minor party with respect to a presidential nominating
convention;
(5) the amounts certified by it under section 9008(g) for
payment to each such committee; and
(6) the amount of payments, if any, required from such
committees under section 9008(h), and the reasons for each such
payment.
Each report submitted pursuant to this section shall be printed as
a Senate document.
(b) Regulations, etc.
The Commission is authorized to prescribe such rules and
regulations in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c), to
conduct such examinations and audits (in addition to the
examinations and audits required by section 9007(a)), to conduct
such investigations, and to require the keeping and submission of
such books, records, and information, as it deems necessary to
carry out the functions and duties imposed on it by this chapter.
(c) Review of regulations
(1) The Commission, before prescribing any rule or regulation
under subsection (b), shall transmit a statement with respect to
such rule or regulation to the Senate and to the House of
Representatives, in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection. Such statement shall set forth the proposed rule or
regulation and shall contain a detailed explanation and
justification of such rule or regulation.
(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.
