AGENCY:
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 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. Additional details appear
in the supplemental information that
follows.

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 1, coordinated party expenditure
limits (2 U.S.C. 441a(d)(2), (3)(A) and
(B)) are adjusted annually by the
increase in the consumer price index.
See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1), 11 CFR 109.32
and 11 CFR 110.17. The Commission is
publishing this notice to announce these
limits for 2008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
for 2008
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 in States with More
Than One Congressional District.
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 in States with more
than one congressional district. This
limitation also applies to those States
that elect individuals to the office of
Delegate or Resident Commissioner.2
The formula used to calculate the
expenditure limitation in such States
multiplies the base figure of $10,000 by
the price index (4.205), rounding to the
nearest $100. See 2 U.S.C. 441a(d)(3)(B)
and 11 CFR 109.32(b). Based upon this
formula, the expenditure limitation for
2008 general elections for House
candidates in these States is $42,100.
1 Public Law No. 107–155, 116 Stat. 81 (Mar. 27,
2002).
2 Currently, these States include the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
the territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the
United States Virgin Islands. See https://

2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate
and for House of Representatives in
States With Only One Congressional
District
Both the national and state party
committees have an expenditure
limitation for a general election held to
fill a seat in the Senate or in the House
of Representatives in States with only
one congressional district. The formula
used to calculate this expenditure
limitation considers not only the price
index but also the voting age population
(‘‘VAP’’) of the state. The VAP of each
state is published annually in the
Federal Register by the Department of
Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The general
election expenditure limitation is the
greater of: the base figure ($20,000)
multiplied by the price index (which
totals $84,100); or $0.02 multiplied by
8697
the VAP of the state, multiplied by the
price index. Amounts are rounded to
the nearest $100. See 2 U.S.C.
441a(d)(3)(A) and 11 CFR 109.32(b). The
chart below provides the state-by-state
breakdown of the 2008 general election
expenditure limitations for Senate
elections. The expenditure limit for
2008 House elections in states with only
one congressional district 3 is $84,100.

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits for 2008
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

This expenditure limitation is increased by the percent difference

1. Expenditure Limitation for House of Representatives in States with
More Than One Congressional District.
Both the national and state party committees have an expenditure
limitation for each general election held to fill a seat in the House

This limitation also applies to those States that elect individuals to

formula, the expenditure limitation for 2008 general elections for
House candidates in these States is $42,100.

2. Expenditure Limitation for Senate and for House of Representatives
in States With Only One Congressional District
Both the national and state party committees have an expenditure
limitation for a general election held to fill a seat in the Senate or
in the House of Representatives in States with only one congressional
district. The formula used to calculate this expenditure limitation
considers not only the price index but also the voting age population
(``VAP'') of the state. The VAP of each state is published annually in
the Federal Register by the Department of Commerce. 11 CFR 110.18. The
general election expenditure limitation is the greater of: the base
figure ($20,000) multiplied by the price index (which totals $84,100);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the state, multiplied by the price
index. Amounts are rounded to the nearest $100. See 2 U.S.C.
441a(d)(3)(A) and 11 CFR 109.32(b). The chart below provides the state-
by-state breakdown of the 2008 general election expenditure limitations
for Senate elections. The expenditure limit for 2008 House elections in
states with only one congressional district \3\ is $84,100.

3. Expenditure Limitation for President
The national party committees have an expenditure limitation for
their general election nominee for President. 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
Department of Commerce also publishes the total VAP of the United
States annually in the Federal Register. 11 CFR 110.18. The formula
used to calculate this expenditure limitation is $0.02 multiplied by
the total VAP of the United States (227,719,424), multiplied by the
price index. Amounts are rounded to the nearest $100. See 2 U.S.C.
441a(d)(2) and 11 CFR 109.32(a). Based upon this formula, the
expenditure limitation for 2008 Presidential nominees is $19,151,200.
