FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

[Notice 2010–02] 

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 of 

1971, as amended (‘‘FECA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), 

the Federal Election Commission (‘‘FEC’’ 

or ‘‘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, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Greg J. Scott or Mr. Kevin R. Salley, 

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, 

2 U.S.C. 431 et seq., as amended by the 

Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 

2002 1 and the Honest Leadership and 

Open Government Act of 2007,2

coordinated party expenditure limits (2 

U.S.C. 441a(d)(2) and (3)(A), (B)) and 

the disclosure threshold for 

contributions bundled by lobbyists (2 

U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A)) are adjusted 

periodically to reflect changes in the 

consumer price index. See 2 U.S.C. 

434(i)(3) and 441a(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 2010 

Under 2 U.S.C. 441a(c), the 

Commission must adjust the 

expenditure limitations established by 2 

U.S.C. 441a(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 4.35110, which reflects 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 1974). 

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 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
8354 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 24, 2010 / Notices 

3Currently, these States include 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/house/ 

MemberWWW_by_State.shtml and http:// 

about.dc.gov/statehood.asp. 

4Currently, these States are: Alaska, Delaware, 

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and 

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

MemberWWW_by_State.shtml. 

Representatives in States with more 

than one congressional district. This 

limitation also applies to those States 

that elect individuals to the office of 

Delegate or Resident Commissioner.3

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 

(4.35110), rounding to the nearest $100. 

See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and 

441a(d)(3)(B), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and 

110.17. Based upon this formula, the 

expenditure limitation for 2010 general 

elections for House candidates in these 

States is $43,500. 

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, 4.35110 (which totals $87,000); 

or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the 

state, multiplied by 4.35110. Amounts 

are rounded to the nearest $100. See 2 

U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and 441a(d)(3)(A), 

and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and 110.17. The 

chart below provides the state-by-state 

breakdown of the 2010 general election 

expenditure limitations for Senate 

elections. The expenditure limit for 

2010 House elections in states with only 

one congressional district 4 is $87,000.

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure 

Threshold for 2010 

The Act, as amended by HLOGA, 

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 

1.06418, 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 2 U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A) and (B), 

441a(c)(1)(B) and 11 CFR 104.22(g). 

Based upon this formula ($15,000 × 

1.06418), the lobbyist bundling 

disclosure threshold for calendar year 

2010 is $16,000, unchanged from 2009. 

On behalf of the Commission.
