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

[[Page 14219]]

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.
