Sec.  111.7  General Counsel's recommendation on complaint-generated 
matters (2 U.S.C. 437g(a)(1)).

    (a) Following either the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period 
specified by 11 CFR 111.6(a) or the receipt of a response as specified 
by 11 CFR 111.6(a), whichever occurs first, the General Counsel may 
recommend to the Commission whether or not it should find reason to 
believe that a respondent has committed or is about to commit a 
violation of statutes or regulations over which the Commission has 
jurisdiction.
    (b) The General Counsel may recommend that the Commission find that 
there is no reason to believe that a violation has been committed or is 
about to be committed, or that the Commission otherwise dismiss a 
complaint without regard to the provisions of 11 CFR 111.6(a).
