FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

[Notice 2016–01] 

Price Index Adjustments for 

Expenditure Limitations and Lobbyist 

Bundling Disclosure Threshold 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of adjustments to 

expenditure limitations and lobbyist 

bundling disclosure threshold. 

SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of 

the Federal Election Campaign Act (‘‘the 

Act’’), the Federal Election Commission 

(‘‘the Commission’’) is adjusting certain 

expenditure limitations and the lobbyist 

bundling disclosure threshold set forth 

in the Act, to index the amounts for 

inflation. Additional details appear in 

the supplemental information that 

follows. 

DATES: Effective date: January 1, 2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information 

Division, 999 E Street NW., Washington, 

DC 20463; (202) 694–1100 or (800) 424– 

9530. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Federal Election Campaign Act, 52 

U.S.C. 30101–46, coordinated party 

expenditure limits (52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(2)–(3)) and the disclosure 

threshold for contributions bundled by 

lobbyists (52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(A)) are 

adjusted periodically to reflect changes 

in the consumer price index. See 52 

U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1); 11 CFR 

109.32, 110.17(a), (f). The Commission 

is publishing this notice to announce 

the adjusted limits and disclosure 

threshold for 2016. 

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits 

for 2016 

Under 52 U.S.C. 30116(c), the 

Commission must adjust the 

expenditure limitations established by 

52 U.S.C. 30116(d) (the limits on 

expenditures by national party 

committees, state party committees, or 

their subordinate committees in 

connection with the general election 

campaign of candidates for Federal 

office) annually to account for inflation. 

This expenditure limitation is increased 

by the percent difference between the 

price index, as certified to the 

Commission by the Secretary of Labor, 

for the 12 months preceding the 

beginning of the calendar year and the 

price index for the base period (calendar 

year 1974). 52 U.S.C. 30116(c). 

1. Expenditure Limitation for House of 

Representatives in States With More 

Than One Congressional District 

Both the national and state party 

committees have an expenditure 

limitation for each general election held 

to fill a seat in the House of 

Representatives in states with more than 

one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(3)(B). This limitation also 

applies to the District of Columbia and 

territories that elect individuals to the 

office of Delegate or Resident 

Commissioner.1 Id. The formula used to 

calculate the expenditure limitation in 

such states and territories multiplies the 

base figure of $10,000 by the difference 

in the price index (4.80703), rounding to 

the nearest $100. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(B); 11 CFR 

109.32(b), 110.17. Based upon this 

formula, the expenditure limitation for 

2016 general elections for House 

candidates in these states, districts, and 

territories is $48,100.

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and 

Wyoming. See http://www.house.gov/

representatives/. 

2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate 

and for House of Representatives in 

States With Only One Congressional 

District 

Both the national and state party 

committees have an expenditure 

limitation for a general election held to 

fill a seat in the Senate or in the House 

of Representatives in states with only 

one congressional district. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(3)(A). The formula used to 

calculate this expenditure limitation 

considers not only the price index but 

also the voting age population (‘‘VAP’’) 

of the state. Id. The VAP figures used to 

calculate the expenditure limitations 

were certified by the U.S. Census 

Bureau. The VAP of each state is also 

published annually in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The general 

election expenditure limitation is the 

greater of: The base figure ($20,000) 

multiplied by the difference in the price 

index, 4.80703 (which totals $96,100); 

or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the 

state, multiplied by 4.80703. Amounts 

are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52 

U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR 

109.32(b), 110.17. The chart below 

provides the state-by-state breakdown of 

the 2016 general election expenditure 

limitation for Senate elections. The 

expenditure limitation for 2016 House 

elections in states with only one 

congressional district 2 is $96,100.

3. Expenditure Limitation for President 

The national party committees have 

an expenditure limitation for their 

general election nominee for President. 

52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(2). The formula used 

to calculate the Presidential expenditure 

limitation considers not only the price 

index but also the total VAP of the 

United States. The VAP figure used to 

calculate the expenditure limitation was 

certified by the U.S. Census Bureau. The 

U.S. Department of Commerce also 

publishes the total VAP of the United 

States annually. 11 CFR 110.18. The 

formula used to calculate this 

expenditure limitation is $0.02 

multiplied by the total VAP of the 

United States (247,773,709), multiplied 

by the price index, 4.80703. Amounts 

are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52 

U.S.C. 30116(d)(2) and 11 CFR 

109.32(a). Based upon this formula, the 

expenditure limitation for 2016 

Presidential nominees is $23,821,100. 

Limitations on Contributions by 

Individuals, Non-Multicandidate 

Committees and Certain Political Party 

Committees Giving to U.S. Senate 

Candidates and National Party 

Committees for the 2015–2016 Election 

Cycle 

For the convenience of the readers, 

the Commission is also republishing the 

contribution limitations for individuals, 

non-multicandidate committees and for 

certain political party committees giving 

to U.S. Senate candidates and national 

party committees for the 2015–2016 

election cycle: 

Statutory provision Statutory

2015–2016

52 U.S.C. 30116(h) 35,000 46,800 

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure 

Threshold for 2016 

The Act requires certain political 

committees to disclose contributions 

bundled by lobbyists/registrants and 

lobbyist/registrant political action 

committees once the contributions 

exceed a specified threshold amount. 52 

U.S.C. 30104(i)(1), (3)(A). The 

Commission must adjust this threshold 

amount annually to account for 

inflation. The disclosure threshold is 

increased by multiplying the $15,000 

statutory disclosure threshold by 

1.17569, the difference between the 

price index, as certified to the 

Commission by the Secretary of Labor, 

for the 12 months preceding the 

beginning of the calendar year and the 

price index for the base period (calendar 

year 2006). The resulting amount is 

rounded to the nearest multiple of $100. 

See 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 

30116(c)(1)(B); 11 CFR 104.22(g). Based 

upon this formula ($15,000 × 1.17569), 

the lobbyist bundling disclosure 

threshold for calendar year 2016 is 

$17,600, unchanged from 2015. 

On behalf of the Commission.
