FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
[Notice 2005–7]
Price Index Increases for Expenditure
and Contribution Limitations
AGENCY:
Federal Election Commission.
Corrected notice of expenditure
and contribution limitation increases.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of
the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of
2002 (‘‘BCRA’’), the Federal Election
Commission (‘‘FEC’’ or ‘‘the
Commission’’) is adjusting certain
expenditure and contribution
limitations set forth in the Federal
Election Campaign Act of 1971, as
amended (‘‘FECA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), to
account for increases in the consumer
price index. This notice corrects certain
information regarding the effective
periods for changes to contribution
limits under FECA that was published
in the Commission’s notice appearing in
the February 10, 2005, Federal Register.
Additional details appear in the
supplemental information that follows.
DATES: Effective Date: The effective date
for the limits at 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A),
441a(a)(1)(B) and 441a(h) is November
3, 2004. The effective date for the limits
at 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(3) and 441a(d) is
January 1, 2005.
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)), and certain
contribution limits (2 U.S.C.
441a(a)(1)(A) and (B), (a)(3), (d) and (h)),
are adjusted either annually or
biennially by the consumer price index.
See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1). The
Commission is publishing this notice to
announce these limits for 2005 or the
2005–2006 election cycle.
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
for 2005
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 (3.831),
rounding to the nearest $100. Based
upon this formula, the expenditure
limitation for 2005 House elections in
those states is $38,300. 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
(3.831), rounding to the nearest $100.
Based upon this formula, the
expenditure limitation for 2005 House
elections in these states is $76,600.
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 $76,600); 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 2005 expenditure
limitations for Senate elections.

Contribution Limitation Increases for
Individuals, Nonmulticandidate
Committees and for Certain Political
Party Committees Giving to U.S. Senate
Candidates for 2005–2006 Election
Cycle
BCRA amended the Act to extend
inflation indexing to: (1) The limitations
on contributions made by persons under
2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A) (contributions to
candidates) and 441a(a)(1)(B)
(contributions to national party
committees); (2) the biennial aggregate
contribution limits applicable to
individuals under 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(3);
and (3) the limitation on contributions
made to U.S. Senate candidates by
certain political party committees at 2
U.S.C. 441a(h). 2 U.S.C. 441a(c). These
contribution limitations are increased
by multiplying the respective statutory
contribution amount by the percent
difference between the price index, as
Statutory provision

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)),
and certain contribution limits (2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A) and (B),
(a)(3), (d) and (h)), are adjusted either annually or biennially by the
consumer price index. See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1). The Commission is
publishing this notice to announce these limits for 2005 or the 2005-
2006 election cycle.
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits for 2005
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 (3.831),
rounding to the nearest $100. Based upon this formula, the expenditure
limitation for 2005 House elections in those states is $38,300. 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 (3.831), rounding to the nearest $100. Based upon
this formula, the expenditure limitation for 2005 House elections in
these states is $76,600.
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
$76,600); 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 2005 expenditure
limitations for Senate elections.

Contribution Limitation Increases for Individuals, Nonmulticandidate
Committees and for Certain Political Party Committees Giving to U.S.
Senate Candidates for 2005-2006 Election Cycle
BCRA amended the Act to extend inflation indexing to: (1) The
limitations on contributions made by persons under 2 U.S.C.
441a(a)(1)(A) (contributions to candidates) and 441a(a)(1)(B)
(contributions to national party committees); (2) the biennial
aggregate contribution limits applicable to individuals under 2 U.S.C.
441a(a)(3); and (3) the limitation on contributions made to U.S. Senate
candidates by certain political party committees at 2 U.S.C. 441a(h). 2
U.S.C. 441a(c). These contribution limitations are increased by
multiplying the respective statutory contribution amount 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 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:
