Spending: about $6,044,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2011: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Office of the Vice President of the United States, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Management & Budget (OMB)
Related Foreign Entities:

Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.

H.R. 5628/S. 2892:Timber Innovation Act of 2016. Directs the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to establish a performance-driven research and development program to advance tall wood building construction in the United States. Directs USDA to collaborate with one or more nonfederal entities, including governments of other countries, to enhance tall wood building commercialization in the United States and to develop technical assistance related to tall wood building commercialization.
Advocated against passage of both bills since the program, if the legislation were to become law, would create an unfair advantage for wood in the construction materials marketplace, would intrude on state and local building codes for safety and high rise construction, and would be duplicative of many benefits already realized by the wood industry via the existing federal softwood lumber check off program.
