WILLIAM BRIAN POWLEY, TREASURER
PAUL GOSAR FOR CONGRESS
PO BOX 2967
PRESCOTT, AZ 86302
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: C00461806

Response Due Date
07/11/2019

REFERENCE: AMENDED 30 DAY POST-GENERAL REPORT (10/18/2018 11/26/2018), RECEIVED 01/30/2019

Dear Treasurer:
This letter is prompted by the Commission's preliminary review of the report referenced
above. This notice requests information essential to full public disclosure of your federal
election campaign finances. Failure to adequately respond by the response date
noted above could result in an audit or enforcement action. Additional information
is needed for the following 1 item(s):
- Schedule A of your report indicates that your committee may have failed to file
one or more of the required 48-hour notices regarding "last minute"
contributions (to include loans, in-kind contributions, and advances) received by
your committee after the close of books for the 12 Day Pre-General Report (see
attached). A principal campaign committee must notify the Commission, in
writing, within 48 hours of any contribution of $1,000 or more received between
two and twenty days before an election. These contributions are then reported on
the next report required to be filed by the committee. To ensure that the
Commission is notified of last minute contributions of $1,000 or more to your
campaign, it is recommended that you review your procedures for checking
contributions received during the aforementioned time period. The failure to file
48-hour notices may result in civil money penalties or legal enforcement action.
(11 CFR § 104.5(f))

If any contribution of $1,000 or more was incorrectly reported, you must amend
your original report with the clarifying information.
Please note, you will not receive an additional notice from the Commission on this
matter. Adequate responses must be received by the Commission on or before the due
date noted above to be taken into consideration in determining whether audit action will
be initiated. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Act may also result in an
enforcement action against the committee. Any response submitted by your committee

will be placed on the public record and will be considered by the Commission prior to
taking enforcement action. Requests for extensions of time in which to respond will
not be considered.
Electronic filers must file amendments (to include statements, designations and reports)
in an electronic format and must submit an amended report in its entirety, rather than just
those portions of the report that are being amended. For additional information about the
report review process or specific filing information for your committee type, please visit
http://transition.fec.gov/rad/. If you should have any questions regarding this matter or
wish to verify the adequacy of your response, please contact me on our toll free number
(800) 424-9530 (at the prompt press 5 to reach the Reports Analysis Division) or my
local number (202) 694-1170.
Sincerely,

403

Robin Kelly
Senior Campaign Finance Analyst
