U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A) 441a(a)(1)(B) 441a(a)(3)(A) 441a(a)(3)(B) jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES The increased limit at 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(A) is to be in effect for the two-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 $2,500 figure above is in effect from November 3, 2010, to November 6, 2012. The limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(B), 441a(a)(3)(A) and (B), and 441a(h), shall be in effect beginning January 1st of the odd-numbered year and ending on December 31st of the next evennumbered year. Thus the new contribution limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a(a)(1)(B), 441a(a)(3)(A) and (B), and 441a(h) are in effect from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2012. See 11 CFR 110.17(b)(1). Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure Threshold for 2011 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 1.08163, 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) and 441a(c)(1)(B); 11 CFR 104.22(g). Based upon this formula ($15,000 × 1.08163), the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2011 is $16,200.

VerDate Mar<15>2010 collection regulations (45 CFR part 30) provides that the Secretary shall charge an annual rate of interest, which is determined and fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury after considering private consumer rates of interest on the date that the Department of Health and Human Services becomes entitled to recovery. The rate cannot be lower than the Department of Treasury’s current value of funds rate or the applicable rate determined from the ‘‘Schedule of Certified Interest Rates with Range of Maturities’’ unless the Secretary waives interest in whole or part, or a different rate is prescribed by statute, contract, or repayment agreement. The Secretary of the Treasury may revise this rate quarterly. The Department of Health and Human Services publishes this rate in the Federal Register. The current rate of 11%, as fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, is certified for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This interest rate is effective until the Secretary of the Treasury notifies the Department of Health and Human Services of any change.
