3 Video Description: Implementation of the 

Twenty-First Century Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010, Report and Order, 26 FCC 

Rcd 11847, 11854, para. 12 (2011) (‘‘2011 Video 

Description Order’’). 

4 47 CFR 79.3(b)(4); 2011 Video Description 

Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 11857, para. 18. 

5 In determining the top five nonbroadcast 

networks subject to the rules in 2011, the 

Commission relied on Nielsen’s ‘‘live +7 day’’ 

ratings, which include incremental viewing that 

takes place during the seven days following a 

telecast. Consistent with this approach, we rely on 

Nielsen’s ‘‘live + 7 day’’ ratings. The data covers the 

2013 to 2014 cable ratings year (September 30, 2013 

to September 28, 2014). 

6See 2011 Video Description Order, 26 FCC Rcd 

at 11857, para. 18. In the 2011 Video Description 

Order, the Commission stated that ‘‘[t]o the extent 

a program network that otherwise would appear in 

the list of top five nonbroadcast networks does not 

air at least 50 hours of prime time programming that 

is not exempt, it must seek an exemption from the 

video description requirement no later than 30 days 

after publication of the 2013–2014 ratings 

information by The Nielsen Company,’’ noting that 

‘‘[t]his requirement will ensure that the 

nonbroadcast network replacing it in the top five 

has ample time to come into compliance.’’ Id. 

Although the Order indicates that networks must 

file for exemption 30 days after publication of the 

ratings information, we will allow parties to file for 

exemption 30 days after publication of this Public 

Notice to ensure that all parties are evaluating the 

same ratings data and have the full time period to 

evaluate this data and submit a request for 

exemption, if necessary. 

are USA, the Disney Channel, TNT, 

Nickelodeon, and TBS.3

In accordance with the Commission’s 

rules, the list of top five nonbroadcast 

networks will update at three year 

intervals to account for changes in 

ratings, and the first update will occur 

on July 1, 2015, based on the 2013 to 

2014 ratings year.4 According to data 

provided by the Nielsen Company, the 

top ten nonbroadcast networks for the 

2013 to 2014 ratings year are: USA 

Network, ESPN, Turner Network 

Television, TBS Network, History, 

Disney Channel, Fox News Channel, 

Nickelodeon, A&E Network, and FX.5

If a program network believes it 

should be excluded from the list of top 

five networks covered by the video 

description requirements because it 

does not air at least 50 hours of prime 

time programming that is not live or 

near-live or is otherwise exempt, it must 

seek an exemption no later than 30 days 

after publication of this Public Notice.6

Filings should be submitted 

electronically in MB Docket No. 11–43 

by accessing the Commission’s 

Electronic Comment Filing System 

(ECFS): http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/ecfs/. 

Filers should follow the instructions 

provided on the Web site for submitting 

filings. The Media Bureau will promptly 

evaluate requests for exemption and 

will provide notice of any resulting 

revisions to the list.

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

[NOTICE 2015–01] 

Price Index Adjustments for 

Contribution and Expenditure 

Limitations and Lobbyist Bundling 

Disclosure Threshold 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of adjustments to 

contribution and expenditure 

limitations and lobbyist bundling 

disclosure threshold. 

SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of 

the Federal Election Campaign Act of 

1971, as amended (‘‘FECA’’ or ‘‘the 

Act’’), the Federal Election Commission 

(‘‘FEC’’ or ‘‘the Commission’’) is 

adjusting certain contribution and 

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: The effective date 

for the limitation at 52 U.S.C. 

30116(a)(1)(A) is November 5, 2014. The 

effective date for the limitations at 52 

U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(A), 30116(a)(1)(B), 

30116(d) and 30116(h) is January 1, 

2015. 

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 of 1971, 

52 U.S.C. 30101 et seq., coordinated 

party expenditure limits (52 U.S.C. 

30116(d)(2) and (3)(A), (B)), certain 

contribution limits (52 U.S.C. 

30116(a)(1)(A) and (B), and (h)), 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) and 

30116(c)(1), and 11 CFR 109.32 and 

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

publishing this notice to announce the 

adjusted limits and disclosure 

threshold. 

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits 

for 2015 

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).

1Currently, these states are the District of 

Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and 

the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the 

United States Virgin Islands and the Northern 

Mariana Islands. See http://www.house.gov/

representatives. 2Currently, these states are: Alaska, Delaware, 

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and 

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

representatives/. 

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. This 

limitation also applies to those states 

and territories that elect individuals to 

the office of Delegate or Resident 

Commissioner.1 The formula used to 

calculate the expenditure limitation in 

such states multiplies the base figure of 

$10,000 by the difference in the price 

index (4.80133), rounding to the nearest 

$100. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B) and 

30116(d)(3)(B), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) 

and 110.17. Based upon this formula, 

the expenditure limitation for 2015 

general elections for House candidates 

in these states is $48,000. 

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. The formula 

used to calculate this expenditure 

limitation considers not only the price 

index but also the voting age population 

(‘‘VAP’’) of the state. The VAP of each 

state is published annually in the 

Federal Register by the 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, 4.80133 (which totals $96,000); 

or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the 

state, multiplied by 4.80133. Amounts 

are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52 

U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B) and 

30116(d)(3)(A), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) 

and 110.17. The chart below provides 

the state-by-state breakdown of the 2015 

general election expenditure limitation 

for Senate elections. The expenditure 

limitation for 2015 House elections in 

states with only one congressional 

district 2 is $96,000.

Limitations on Contributions by 

Individuals, Non-Multicandidate 

Committees and Certain Political Party 

Committees Giving to U.S. Senate 

Candidates for the 2015–2016 Election 

Cycle 

The Act requires inflation indexing to: 

(1) The limitations on contributions 

made by persons under 52 U.S.C. 

30116(a)(1)(A) (contributions to 

candidates) and 30116(a)(1)(B) 

(contributions to national party 

committees); and (2) the limitation on 

contributions made to U.S. Senate 

candidates by certain political party 

committees at 52 U.S.C. 30116(h). See 2 

U.S.C. 30116(c). These contribution 

limitations are increased by multiplying 

the respective statutory contribution 

amount by 1.33702, 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 2001). The 

resulting amount is rounded to the 

nearest multiple of $100. See 52 U.S.C. 

30116(c) and 11 CFR 110.17(b). 

Contribution limitations shall be 

adjusted accordingly: 

Statutory provision Statutory mount 2015–2016 limit 

52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(A) ........................................................................................................................ $2,000 $2,700 

52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(B) ........................................................................................................................ 25,000 33,400 

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

The increased limitation at 52 U.S.C. 

30116(a)(1)(A) is to be in effect for the 

two-year period beginning on the first 

day following the date of the general 

election in the preceding year and 

ending on the date of the next regularly 

scheduled election. Thus the $2,700 

figure above is in effect from November 

5, 2014, to November 8, 2016. The 

limitations under 52 U.S.C. 

30116(a)(1)(B) and 30116(h) shall be in 

effect beginning January 1st of the oddnumbered year and ending on December 

31st of the next even-numbered year. 

Thus the new contribution limitations 

under 52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(B) and 

30116(h) are in effect from January 1, 

2015, to December 31, 2016. See 11 CFR 

110.17(b)(1). 

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure 

Threshold for 2015 

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. 

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 

1.17429, 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)(A) and (B), 

30116(c)(1)(B) and 11 CFR 104.22(g). 

Based upon this formula ($15,000 × 

1.17429), the lobbyist bundling 

disclosure threshold for calendar year 

2015 is $17,600. 

On behalf of the Commission, January 28, 

2015.
