(c) A designation of a principal campaign committee that has been filed in accordance with this section may be revoked only with the consent of the Commissioner.

In a case where consent to revoke a designation of a principal campaign committee is granted and a new designation is filed, the Commissioner may condition his consent upon the agreement of the candidate for Congress to insure compliance with the preceding sentence.
