PART 106--ALLOCATIONS OF CANDIDATE AND COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 106.3  Allocation of expenses between campaign and non-campaign related travel.

    (a) This section applies to allocation for expenses between campaign 
and non-campaign related travel with respect to campaigns of candidates 
for Federal office, other than Presidential and Vice Presidential 
candidates who receive federal funds pursuant to 11 CFR part 9005 or 
9036. (See 11 CFR 9004.7 and 9034.7) All expenditures for campaign-
related travel paid for by a candidate from a campaign account or by his 
or her authorized committees or by any other political committee shall 
be reported.
    (b)(1) Travel expenses paid for by a candidate from personal funds, 
or from a source other than a political committee, shall constitute 
reportable expenditures if the travel is campaign-related.
    (2) Where a candidate's trip involves both campaign-related and non-
campaign-related stops, the expenditures allocable for campaign purposes 
are reportable, and are calculated on the actual cost-per-mile of the 
means of transportation actually used, starting at the point of origin 
of the trip, via every campaign-related stop and ending at the point of 
origin.
    (3) Where a candidate conducts any campaign-related activity in a 
stop, the stop is a campaign-related stop and

travel expenditures made are reportable. Campaign-related activity shall 
not include any incidental contacts.
    (c)(1) Where an individual, other than a candidate, conducts 
campaign-related activities on a trip, the portion of the trip 
attributed to each candidate shall be allocated on a reasonable basis.
    (2) Travel expenses of a candidate's spouse and family are 
reportable as expenditures only if the spouse or family members conduct 
campaign-related activities.
    (d) Costs incurred by a candidate for the United States Senate or 
House of Representatives for travel between Washington, DC, and the 
State or district in which he or she is a candidate need not be reported 
herein unless the costs are paid by a candidate's authorized 
committee(s), or by any other political committee(s).
    (e) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the 
reportable expenditure for a candidate who uses government conveyance or 
accommodations for travel which is campaign-related is the rate for 
comparable commercial conveyance or accommodation. In the case of a 
candidate authorized by law or required by national security to be 
accompanied by staff and equipment, the allocable expenditures are the 
costs of facilities sufficient to accommodate the party, less authorized 
or required personnel and equipment. If such a trip includes both 
campaign and noncampaign stops, equivalent costs are calculated in 
accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
