FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION 

[Notice 2006–3] 

Price Index Increases for Coordinated 

Party Expenditure Limitations 

AGENCY: Federal Election Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of coordinated party 

expenditure limit increases. 

SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of 

the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 

2002 (‘‘BCRA’’), the Federal Election 

Commission (‘‘the Commission’’) is 

adjusting the coordinated party 

expenditure limits set forth in the 

Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, 

as amended, to account for increases in 

the consumer price index. 

Additional details appear in the 

supplemental information that follows. 

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date 

for the limits is January 1, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Gregory J. Scott, Information Division, 

999 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20463; Telephone: (202) 694–1100; Toll 

Free (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, Public Law 107–155, 116 Stat. 81 

(March 27, 2002), coordinated party 

expenditure limits (2 U.S.C. 

441a(d)(3)(A) and (B)) are adjusted 

annually by the consumer price index. 

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

Commission is publishing this notice to 

announce the limits for 2006. 

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits 

for 2006 

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 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). 

1. Expenditure Limitation for House of 

Representatives 

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. The formula used to 

calculate the expenditure limitation in a 

state with more than one congressional 

district multiplies the base figure of 

$10,000 by the price index (3.961), 

rounding to the nearest $100. Based 

upon this formula, the expenditure 

limitation for 2006 House elections in 

those states is $39,600. The formula 

used to calculate the expenditure 

limitation in a state with only one 

congressional district multiplies the 

base figure of $20,000 by the price index 

(3.961), rounding to the nearest $100. 

Based upon this formula, the 

expenditure limitation for 2006 House 

elections in these states is $79,200. 

2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate 

Both the national and state party 

committees have an expenditure 

limitation for a general election held to 

fill a seat in the Senate. The formula 

used to calculate the Senate expenditure

limitation considers not only the price 

index but also the voting age population 

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

limitation is the greater of: the base 

figure ($20,000) multiplied by the price 

index (which totals $79,200); or $0.02 

multiplied by the VAP of the state, 

multiplied by the price index. Amounts 

are rounded to the nearest $100. The 

chart below provides the state-by-state 

breakdown of the 2006 expenditure 

limitations for Senate elections.
