FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
[Notice 2021–03]
Price Index Adjustments for
Contribution and Expenditure
Limitations and Lobbyist Bundling
Disclosure Threshold
Federal Election Commission.
Notice of adjustments to
contribution and expenditure
limitations and lobbyist bundling
disclosure threshold.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As mandated by provisions of
the Federal Election Campaign Act (‘‘the
Act’’), the Federal Election Commission
(‘‘the Commission’’) is adjusting certain
contribution and 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: The new limitation at 52 U.S.C.
30116(a)(1)(A) applies beginning on
November 4, 2020. The new limitations
at 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(A),
30116(a)(1)(B), 30116(d) and 30116(h)
apply beginning on January 1, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Elizabeth S. Kurland, Information
Division, 1050 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20463; (202) 694–1100
or (800) 424–9530.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Federal Election Campaign Act, 52
U.S.C. 30101–45, coordinated party
expenditure limits (52 U.S.C.
30116(d)(2)–(3)), certain contribution
limits (52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(A) and (B),
and (h)), 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)(B), 30116(c); 11 CFR
109.32(a)(2), (b)(3), 110.17(a), (f). The
Commission is publishing this notice to
announce the adjusted limits and
disclosure threshold.
Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits
for 2021
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,
E:\FR\FM\02FEN1.SGM
02FEN1
7868
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 20 / Tuesday, February 2, 2021 / Notices
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)(B)(i),
(2)(B)(i).
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 (5.24905), 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
2021 general elections for House
candidates in these states, districts, and
territories is $52,500.
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. 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, 5.24905 (which totals $105,000);
or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 5.24905. See 52
U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A); 11 CFR
109.32(b), 110.17. Amounts are rounded
to the nearest $100. 52 U.S.C.
30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 109.32(b)(3),
110.17(c). The chart below provides the
state-by-state breakdown of the 2021
general election expenditure limitations
for Senate elections. The expenditure
limitation for 2021 House elections in
states with only one congressional
district 2 is $105,000.

the respective statutory contribution

The limitation at 52 U.S.C.
30116(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. 52 U.S.C.
30116(c)(1)(C); 11 CFR 110.1(b)(1)(ii).
Thus the $2,900 figure above is in effect
from November 4, 2020, to November 8,
2022. The limitations under 52 U.S.C.
30116(a)(1)(B) and 30116(h) shall be in
effect beginning January 1st of the oddnumbered year and ending on December
31st of the next even-numbered year. 11
CFR 110.1(c)(1)(ii). Thus the new
contribution limitations under 52 U.S.C.
30116(a)(1)(B) and 30116(h) are in effect
from January 1, 2021, to December 31,
2022. See 11 CFR 110.17(b)(1).
Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure
Threshold for 2021
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), (i)(3)(A). The
Commission must adjust this threshold
amount annually to account for
inflation. 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B). The
disclosure threshold is increased by
multiplying the $15,000 statutory
disclosure threshold by 1.28380, 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). See 52
U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1)(B); 11
CFR 104.22(g). The resulting amount is
rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.
52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B),
30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 104.22(g)(4).
Based upon this formula ($15,000 ×
1.28380), the lobbyist bundling
disclosure threshold for calendar year
2021 is $19,300.

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)(B)(i), (2)(B)(i).
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 (5.24905), 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 2021 general elections for
House candidates in these states, districts, and territories is
$52,500.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Currently, these are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the
United States Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. See
https://www.house.gov/representatives.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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,
5.24905 (which totals $105,000); or $0.02 multiplied by the VAP of the
state, multiplied by 5.24905. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B), (d)(3)(A);
11 CFR 109.32(b), 110.17. Amounts are rounded to the nearest $100. 52
U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR 109.32(b)(3), 110.17(c). The chart
below provides the state-by-state breakdown of the 2021 general
election expenditure limitations for Senate elections. The expenditure
limitation for 2021 House elections in states with only one
congressional district \2\ is $105,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Currently, these states are: Alaska, Delaware, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. See https://www.house.gov/representatives/.
\3\ This expenditure limit does not apply to the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the United States
Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands because those
jurisdictions do not elect Senators. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(d)(3)(A);
11 CFR 109.32(b)(2)(i).

Limitations on Contributions by Individuals, Non-Multicandidate
Committees and Certain Political Party Committees Giving to U.S. Senate
Candidates for the 2021-2022 Election Cycle
The Act requires inflation indexing of: (1) The limitations on
contributions made by persons under 52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(A)
(contributions to candidates) and 30116(a)(1)(B) (contributions to
national party committees); and (2) the limitation on contributions
made to U.S. Senate candidates by certain political party committees at
52 U.S.C. 30116(h). See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c). These contribution
limitations are increased by multiplying the respective statutory
contribution amount by 1.46170, 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 2001). 52 U.S.C.
30116(c)(1)(B)(i), (2)(B)(ii). The resulting amount is rounded to the
nearest multiple of $100. See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c); 11 CFR 110.17(b).
Contribution limitations shall be adjusted accordingly:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statutory
Statutory provision amount 2021-2022
---------------------------------------------------------------limit----
52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(A)................ $2,000 $2,900
52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(B)................ 25,000 36,500
52 U.S.C. 30116(h)...................... 35,000 51,200
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The limitation at 52 U.S.C. 30116(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. 52 U.S.C. 30116(c)(1)(C); 11 CFR
110.1(b)(1)(ii). Thus the $2,900 figure above is in effect from
November 4, 2020, to November 8, 2022. The limitations under 52 U.S.C.
30116(a)(1)(B) and 30116(h) shall be in effect beginning January 1st of
the odd-numbered year and ending on December 31st of the next even-
numbered year. 11 CFR 110.1(c)(1)(ii). Thus the new contribution
limitations under 52 U.S.C. 30116(a)(1)(B) and 30116(h) are in effect
from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. See 11 CFR 110.17(b)(1).
Lobbyist Bundling Disclosure Threshold for 2021
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), (i)(3)(A). The Commission must
adjust this threshold amount annually to account for inflation. 52
U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B). The disclosure threshold is increased by
multiplying the $15,000 statutory disclosure threshold by 1.28380, 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). See 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3), 30116(c)(1)(B); 11 CFR
104.22(g). The resulting amount is rounded to the nearest multiple of
$100. 52 U.S.C. 30104(i)(3)(B), 30116(c)(1)(B)(iii); 11 CFR
104.22(g)(4). Based upon this formula ($15,000 x 1.28380), the lobbyist
bundling disclosure threshold for calendar year 2021 is $19,300.
Dated: January 28, 2021.
On behalf of the Commission,
Shana M. Broussard,
Chair, Federal Election Commission.
