Quote:
`(iii) SUBSEQUENT YEARS- In the case of any calendar year after 2013, each of the dollar amounts under clauses (i) and (ii) shall be increased to the amount equal to such amount as in effect for the calendar year preceding such year, increased by an amount equal to the product of--

`(I) such amount as so in effect, multiplied by

`(II) the cost-of-living adjustment determined under section 1(f)(3) for such year (determined by substituting the calendar year that is 2 years before such year for `1992' in subparagraph (B) thereof), increased by 1 percentage point.

"Section 1(f)(3)" refers to the Cost-of-Living Adjustment defined in US Law, which is based on the Consumer Price Index as published by the Department of Labor.
