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. The
Commission has calculated the
applicable percent difference to be 6.7
percent.
Contribution limitations shall be
adjusted accordingly:
2005–2006 limitation
$2,000 ..........................................................................
25,000 ..........................................................................
37,500 ..........................................................................
57,500 (of which not more than $37,500 may be attributable to contributions to political committees
that are not political committees of national political
parties).
35,000 ..........................................................................
$2,100.
26,700.
40,000.
61,400 (of which not more than $40,000 may be attributable to contributions to political committees
that are not political committees of national political
parties).
37,300.
Under the Act, the inflationary
adjustments are to be made only in oddnumbered years and the increased
limitations at 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A),
441a(a)(1)(B) and 441a(h) are to be in
effect for the 2-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
respective figures above are in effect
from November 3, 2004 to November 7,
2006. The limitation under 2 U.S.C.
441a(a)(3)(A) and (B) 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 limits under
2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(3)(A) and (B) are in
effect from January 1, 2005 to December
31, 2006.
Dated: February 4, 2005.

Proposed Project
Assessment of Occupational
Exposures to Electric and Magnetic
Fields (EMF)—New—National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
This proposal is to conduct a
validation study on an interview-based
procedure for assessing occupational
exposures to electric and magnetic
fields (EMF) from AC electricity.
Participants in the study will be asked
to wear specially designed instruments
to measure a range of EMF that
employees encounter as part of their
daily work practices. These devices
have been field-tested and meet all
safety requirements. This study will
capture not only the magnetic field
magnitude but also its frequencies,
induced currents and contact currents.
This study will provide important new
information that will shed light on EMF
and health effects on workers.
This study has the following
objectives: (1) Validate an interviewbased EMF exposure assessment
algorithm against measurements of the
time-weighted average (TWA) magnetic
field magnitude used in previous
epidemiologic studies, (2) calibrate the
parameters in the algorithm in order to
improve the exposure estimates, and (3)
determine the correlation between the
EMF exposures from the algorithm and
biologically-based metrics measured by
new instrumentation. These
biologically-based metrics consist of
either characteristics of the magnetic
field that have produced biological
effects in laboratory studies or currents
in the body resulting from contact with
charged surfaces. For the higher
correlations with the TWA magnetic
field magnitude, these data will be used
to determine whether the exposure
algorithm can be modified to accurately
assess exposures to the biologicallybased metrics.
This is a one-time study of workers of
an electric utility in Canada and a
Federal research laboratory in the U.S.
There will be no cost to respondents
except for their time.

Members of the public and health
practitioners at all levels require up-todate, credible information about health
and safety in order to make rational
decisions. Such information affects the
