109.32, and filing consolidated reports showing all coordinated party 
expenditures in the State with the Commission; or
    (2) Any other method, submitted in advance and approved by the 
Commission, that permits control over coordinated party expenditures.
    (c) Recordkeeping. (1) A political party committee that assigns its 
authority to make coordinated party expenditures under this section must 
maintain the written assignment for at least three years in accordance 
with 11 CFR 104.14.
    (2) A political party committee that is assigned authority to make 
coordinated party expenditures under this section must maintain the 
written assignment for at least three years in accordance with 11 CFR
