SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of
the Federal Election Campaign Act of
1971, as amended (‘‘FECA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’),
the Federal Election Commission (‘‘FEC’’
or ‘‘the Commission’’) is adjusting
certain expenditure limitations and the
lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold
set forth in the Act, to index the
amounts for inflation. Additional details
appear in the supplemental information
that follows.
DATES: Effective Date: January 1, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Greg J. Scott or Mr. Kevin R. Salley,
Information Division, 999 E Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20463; (202) 694–1100
or (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 1 and the Honest Leadership and
Open Government Act of 2007,2
coordinated party expenditure limits (2
U.S.C. 441a(d)(2) and (3)(A), (B)) and
the disclosure threshold for
contributions bundled by lobbyists (2
U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A)) are adjusted
periodically to reflect changes in the
consumer price index. See 2 U.S.C.
434(i)(3) and 441a(c)(1), and 11 CFR
109.32 and 110.17(a), (f). The
Commission is publishing this notice to
announce the adjusted limits and
disclosure threshold.
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
for 2010
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 4.35110, which reflects 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 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
1 Public Law 107–155, 116 Stat. 81 (Mar. 27,
2002).
2 Public Law 110–81, 121 Stat. 735 (Sep. 14,
2007).

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.3
The formula used to calculate the
expenditure limitation in such States
multiplies the base figure of $10,000 by
the difference in the price index
(4.35110), rounding to the nearest $100.
See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and
441a(d)(3)(B), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and
110.17. Based upon this formula, the
expenditure limitation for 2010 general
elections for House candidates in these
States is $43,500.
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 difference in the price
index, 4.35110 (which totals $87,000);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.35110. Amounts
are rounded to the nearest $100. See 2
U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and 441a(d)(3)(A),
and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and 110.17. The
chart below provides the state-by-state
breakdown of the 2010 general election
expenditure limitations for Senate
elections. The expenditure limit for
2010 House elections in states with only
one congressional district 4 is $87,000.

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure
Threshold for 2010
The Act, as amended by HLOGA,
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. 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
1.06418, 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 2 U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A) and (B),
441a(c)(1)(B) and 11 CFR 104.22(g).
Based upon this formula ($15,000 ×
1.06418), the lobbyist bundling
disclosure threshold for calendar year
2010 is $16,000, unchanged from 2009.

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 \1\ and the Honest Leadership and Open Government
Act of 2007,\2\ coordinated party expenditure limits (2 U.S.C.
441a(d)(2) and (3)(A), (B)) and the disclosure threshold for
contributions bundled by lobbyists (2 U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A)) are adjusted
periodically to reflect changes in the consumer price index. See 2
U.S.C. 434(i)(3) and 441a(c)(1), and 11 CFR 109.32 and 110.17(a), (f).
The Commission is publishing this notice to announce the adjusted

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits for 2010
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 4.35110, which reflects 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 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
[[Page 8354]]
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.\3\ The formula used to
calculate the expenditure limitation in such States multiplies the base
figure of $10,000 by the difference in the price index (4.35110),
rounding to the nearest $100. See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and
441a(d)(3)(B), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and 110.17. Based upon this
formula, the expenditure limitation for 2010 general elections for
House candidates in these States is $43,500.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Currently, these States include the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the territories of American
Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands and the Northern
Mariana Islands. See https://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml and https://about.dc.gov/statehood.asp.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 difference in the price index,
4.35110 (which totals $87,000); or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.35110. Amounts are rounded to the nearest $100.
See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(B) and 441a(d)(3)(A), and 11 CFR 109.32(b) and
110.17. The chart below provides the state-by-state breakdown of the
2010 general election expenditure limitations for Senate elections. The
expenditure limit for 2010 House elections in states with only one

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure Threshold for 2010
The Act, as amended by HLOGA, 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. 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 1.06418, 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 2 U.S.C. 434(i)(3)(A) and
(B), 441a(c)(1)(B) and 11 CFR 104.22(g). Based upon this formula
($15,000 x 1.06418), the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for
calendar year 2010 is $16,000, unchanged from 2009.
On behalf of the Commission.
Dated: February 19, 2010.
Matthew S. Petersen,
Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
