The proposed FEC regulation is here:
Under the proposal, a political ad paid for by a Web site operator and displayed on a different site would be considered a "public communication" subject to campaign finance controls. Internet material would otherwise be excluded from the definition of a public communication for regulatory purposes, Toner said.
News stories, commentaries and editorials appearing on Web sites would not be considered a contribution subject to limits.
The commission also proposed an exemption for individuals using their own computer or one at a public place, such as a library, for Internet activities.
It sought public comment on whether bloggers who are paid by candidates should or could be required to disclose these payments or have a disclaimer.
How to submit public comment seems a tad more obscure. As far as I can tell, comments are not open until April and when they open, they will be here.
