All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers; United 
States City Average

    Pursuant to Section 112 of the 1976 amendments to the Federal 
Election Campaign Act (Pub. L. 94-283, 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1)(A)), the 
Secretary of Labor has certified to the Chairman of the Federal 
Election Commission and publishes this notice in the Federal Register 
that the United States City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for 
All Urban Consumers (1967=100) increased 283.1 percent from its 1974 
annual average of 147.7 to its 2004 annual average of 565.8 and that it 
increased 6.7 percent from its 2001 annual average of 530.4 to its 2004 
annual average of 565.8. Using 1974 as a base (1974=100), I certify 
that the United States City Average All Items Consumer Price Index for 
All Urban Consumers thus increased 283.1 percent from its 1974 annual 
average of 100 to its 2004 annual average of 383.1. Using 2001 as a 
base (2001=100), I certify that the United States City Average All 
Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers thus increased 6.7 
percent from its 2001 annual average of 530.4 to its 2004 annual 
average of 565.8.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on the 3rd day of March 2005.
