FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
TiVo Inc.
(‘‘TiVo’’) has filed a petition for
clarification or waiver of 47 CFR
76.640(b)(4)(iii). Section 76.640(b)(4)(iii)
requires that set-top boxes provided by
cable operators include a digital
interface to enable consumers to

connect consumer electronics devices
that they own to set-top boxes that they
lease from their cable operators for
whole-home viewing and recording.
TiVo asserts that the ‘‘touchstone’’
solution for home networking has not
been published publicly, and therefore
requests that the Commission extend
waiver until ‘‘compliance is achievable
on an industry-wide basis that includes
TiVo.’’ Alternatively, TiVo requests that
we clarify whether the rule is still in
effect in the wake of the D.C. Circuit’s
decision in Echostar Satellite, LLC v.
FCC. We seek comment on TiVo’s
request.
This proceeding will be treated as
‘‘permit but disclose’’ for purposes of
the Commission’s ex parte rules. As a
result of the permit-but-disclose status
of this proceeding, ex parte
presentations will be governed by the
procedures set forth in 47 CFR 1.1206.

(‘‘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, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information
Division, 999 E Street NW., Washington,
DC 20463; (202) 694–1100 or (800) 424–
9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Federal Election Campaign Act, 2 U.S.C.
431 et seq., 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)(B) and 441a(c)(1), 11
CFR 104.22(g), 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 2014
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
subordinate committees of state party
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
and territories that elect individuals to
the office of Delegate or Resident
Commissioner.1 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 (4.72469), 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 2014 general
elections for House candidates in these
states is $47,200.
7191
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, 4.72469 (which totals $94,500);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.72469. 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 2014 general election
expenditure limitation for Senate
elections. The expenditure limitation for
2014 House elections in states with only
one congressional district 2 is $94,500.

[Notice 2014-03]
Price Index Adjustments for Expenditure Limitations and Lobbyist
Bundling Disclosure Threshold
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Notice of adjustments to expenditure limitations and lobbyist
bundling disclosure threshold.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 7191]]
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, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information
Division, 999 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20463; (202) 694-1100 or
(800) 424-9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Election Campaign Act, 2
U.S.C. 431 et seq., 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)(B) and 441a(c)(1), 11 CFR 104.22(g), 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 2014
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 subordinate
committees of state party 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 and territories that elect
individuals to the office of Delegate or Resident Commissioner.\1\ 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 (4.72469), 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 2014 general
elections for House candidates in these states is $47,200.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Currently, these states are 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,
4.72469 (which totals $94,500); or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.72469. 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
2014 general election expenditure limitation for Senate elections. The
expenditure limitation for 2014 House elections in states with only one
congressional district \2\ is $94,500.

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure Threshold for 2014
The Act 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
1.15555, 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 1.15555), the
lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2014 is
$17,300.
On behalf of the Commission.
Dated: January 30, 2014.
Lee E. Goodman,
Chairman, Federal Election Commission.
