SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Federal Election Campaign Act, 52
U.S.C. 30101–46, coordinated party
expenditure limits (52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(2)–(3)) and the disclosure
threshold for contributions bundled by
lobbyists (52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(A)) are
adjusted periodically to reflect changes
in the consumer price index. See 52
U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1); 11 CFR
109.32, 110.17(a), (f). The Commission
is publishing this notice to announce
the adjusted limits and disclosure
threshold for 2016.
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
for 2016
Under 52 U.S.C. 30116(c), the
Commission must adjust the
expenditure limitations established by
52 U.S.C. 30116(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). 52 U.S.C. 30116(c).
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. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(3)(B). This limitation also
applies to the District of Columbia and
territories that elect individuals to the
office of Delegate or Resident
Commissioner.1 Id. The formula used to
calculate the expenditure limitation in
such states and territories multiplies the
base figure of $10,000 by the difference
in the price index (4.80703), rounding to
the nearest $100. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(B); 11 CFR
109.32(b), 110.17. Based upon this
formula, the expenditure limitation for
2016 general elections for House
candidates in these states, districts, and
territories is $48,100.
1 Currently, these are the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, and the territories of American Samoa,
Guam, the United States Virgin Islands and the
Northern Mariana 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. See 52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(3)(A). The formula used to
calculate this expenditure limitation
considers not only the price index but
also the voting age population (‘‘VAP’’)
of the state. Id. The VAP figures used to
calculate the expenditure limitations
were certified by the U.S. Census
Bureau. The VAP of each state is also
published annually in the Federal
Register by the U.S. 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, 4.80703 (which totals $96,100);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.80703. Amounts
are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52
U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR
109.32(b), 110.17. The chart below
provides the state-by-state breakdown of
the 2016 general election expenditure
limitation for Senate elections. The
expenditure limitation for 2016 House
elections in states with only one
congressional district 2 is $96,100.

3. Expenditure Limitation for President
The national party committees have
an expenditure limitation for their
general election nominee for President.
52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(2). 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 VAP figure used to
calculate the expenditure limitation was
certified by the U.S. Census Bureau. The
U.S. Department of Commerce also
publishes the total VAP of the United
States annually. 11 CFR 110.18. The
formula used to calculate this
expenditure limitation is $0.02
multiplied by the total VAP of the
United States (247,773,709), multiplied
by the price index, 4.80703. Amounts
are rounded to the nearest $100. See 52
U.S.C. 30116(d)(2) and 11 CFR
109.32(a). Based upon this formula, the
expenditure limitation for 2016
Presidential nominees is $23,821,100.

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure
Threshold for 2016
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. 52
U.S.C. 30104(i)(1), (3)(A). 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
1.17569, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
price index for the base period (calendar
year 2006). The resulting amount is
rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.
See 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3),
30116(c)(1)(B); 11 CFR 104.22(g). Based
upon this formula ($15,000 × 1.17569),

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. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(3)(A). The formula used to calculate
this expenditure limitation considers not only the price index but also
the voting age population (``VAP'') of the state. Id. The VAP figures
used to calculate the expenditure limitations were certified by the
U.S. Census Bureau. The VAP of each state is also published annually in
the Federal Register by the U.S. 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,
4.80703 (which totals $96,100); or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 4.80703. Amounts are rounded to the nearest $100.
See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR 109.32(b), 110.17. The
chart below provides the state-by-state breakdown of the 2016 general
election expenditure limitation for Senate elections. The expenditure
limitation for 2016 House elections in states with only one
congressional district \2\ is $96,100.

\2\ Currently, these states are: Alaska, Delaware, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. See https://www.house.gov/representatives/.

3. Expenditure Limitation for President
The national party committees have an expenditure limitation for
their general election nominee for President. 52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(2).
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 VAP figure used to calculate the expenditure limitation was
certified by the U.S. Census Bureau. The U.S. Department of Commerce
also publishes the total VAP of the United States annually. 11 CFR
110.18. The formula used to calculate this expenditure limitation is
$0.02 multiplied by the total VAP of the United States (247,773,709),
multiplied by the price index, 4.80703. Amounts are rounded to the
nearest $100. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(2) and 11 CFR 109.32(a). Based
upon this formula, the expenditure limitation for 2016 Presidential
nominees is $23,821,100.
Limitations on Contributions by Individuals, Non-Multicandidate
Committees and Certain Political Party Committees Giving to U.S. Senate
Candidates and National Party Committees for the 2015-2016 Election
Cycle
For the convenience of the readers, the Commission is also
republishing the contribution limitations for individuals, non-
multicandidate committees and for certain political party committees
giving to U.S. Senate candidates and national party committees for the
2015-2016 election cycle:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory 2015-2016
Statutory provision amount limit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(A)........................ $2,000 $2,700
52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(B)........................ 25,000 33,400
52 U.S.C. 30116(h).............................. 35,000 46,800

Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure Threshold for 2016
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. 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(1), (3)(A). 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 1.17569, 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 52 U.S.C.
30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1)(B); 11 CFR 104.22(g). Based upon this formula
($15,000 x 1.17569), the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold for
calendar year 2016 is $17,600, unchanged from 2015.
On behalf of the Commission.
Dated: February 3, 2016.
