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:

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.
