Spending: about $950,000 (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 2007: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Justice - Dept of (DOJ), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Commerce - Dept of (DOC), Transportation - Dept of (DOT), U.S. Customs & Border Protection, Economic Development Administration, Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), Housing & Urban Development - Dept of (HUD), Energy - Dept of, Homeland Security - Dept of (DHS), Housing & Urban Development Dept of (HUD), Labor Dept of (DOL), Commerce Dept of (DOC), Health & Human Services Dept of (HHS), Homeland Security Dept of (DHS), Y Y Department of Housing and Urban Development Department of Labor Department of Commerce Department of Health and Human Services Department of Homeland Security, Y Y, Y Y Department of Homeland Security Department of Housing and Urban Development Department of Labor Department of Commerce
