Having completed all major rulemakings to implement provisions of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA), the Commission now looks ahead to the task of implementing the new law. As part of that process, the FEC is prepared to provide guidance to the regulated community in a number of ways. The Commission will initiate additional rulemakings in 2003 and respond to advisory opinion requests to further clarify the requirements of the BCRA and other provisions of the campaign finance law. The FEC will also continue its educational outreach programs, including roundtables workshops on different aspects of the new regulations, and conferences in Washington DC and throughout the country designed to give a comprehensive overview of the campaign finance law. Additionally, the Commission will update its Campaign Guide series and many of its bro- chures to address the law's requirements in the clearest possible terms. In the weeks ahead, the Commission will approve new reporting software, forms and instructions. As always, staff in the FEC's Reports Analysis and Information divisions will be available to answer questions about the new reporting requirements and the new law. Please do not hesitate to call our 800 number (800/424-9530) for assistance. Even as we work to implement the BCRA, the Commission recognizes that the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the constitutionality of certain provisions of the BCRA in June 2003. The Commission is prepared to respond, as necessary, to that decision. We look forward to meeting the challenges and opportunities presented to this agency in the coming months. r .4. *'
