Spending: about $860,000 (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 2008: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Indian Health Service, Interior - Dept of (DOI), State - Dept of (DOS), Homeland Security - Dept of (DHS), U.S. Customs & Border Protection, Justice - Dept of (DOJ), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Highway Administration (FHA), White House Office, Transportation - Dept of (DOT), Army - Dept of (Corps of Engineers), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
