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.

Chair, Federal Election Commission.
