H.R. 1, Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011; Issues related to fossil energy loan guarantee
Duration: January 15, 2009
to
March 1, 2011
General Issues: Energy/Nuclear , Environmental/Superfund , Budget/Appropriations , Taxation/Internal Revenue Code
Spending: about $490,000 (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 2009: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Related Foreign Entities:
Rio Tinto plc (London, GBR); contribution to lobbying: $0; ownership 50%; BP plc (London, GBR); contribution to lobbying: $0; ownership 50%

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.
