# §102.3. Termination of registration (52 U.S.C. 30103(d)(1)).

- (a)
  - (1) A political committee (other than a principal campaign committee) may terminate only upon filing a termination report on the appropriate FEC Form or upon filing a written statement containing the same information with the Commission. Except as provided in [11 CFR 102.4(c)](/cfr/11/102.4.md?p=c), only a committee which will no longer receive any contributions or make any disbursements that would otherwise qualify it as a political committee may terminate, provided that such committee has no outstanding debts and obligations. In addition to the Notice, the committee shall also provide a final report of receipts and disbursements, which report shall include a statement as to the purpose for which such residual funds will be used, including a statement as to whether such residual funds will be used to defray expenses incurred in connection with an individual's duties as a holder of federal office.
  - (2) An authorized committee of a qualified Member, as defined at [11 CFR 113.1(f)](/cfr/11/113.1.md?p=f), shall comply with the requirements of [11 CFR 113.2](/cfr/11/113.2.md) before any excess funds are converted to such Member's personal use. All other authorized committees shall include in their termination reports a statement signed by the treasurer, stating that no noncash committee assets will be converted to personal use.
- (b) Except as provided at [11 CFR 102.4](/cfr/11/102.4.md), a principal campaign committee may not terminate until it has met the requirements of [11 CFR 102.3(a)](#a) and until all debts of any other authorized committee(s) of the candidate have been extinguished.
