LINE 11 LOBBYING ISSUES:  Select categories from the following list that most closely match the client's lobbying issue areas. The form provides a list of descriptions and corresponding codes (for reference only) in a select box above the fields where the codes are to be entered.

Select each applicable code from the small select boxes on line 11. Enter as many as necessary to accurately reflect all actual and anticipated lobbying activities. If more than nine lobbying issues apply, click the blue > button in the right margin labeled 'Go to page 3 to add more lobbying issues'. This will move the focus to page 3, where nine more issues may be selected.

LINE 12. SPECIFIC LOBBYING ISSUES: Identify the client's specific issues that have been addressed (as of the date of the registration) or are likely to be addressed in lobbying activities. Include, for example, specific bills before Congress or specific executive branch actions.

BE SPECIFIC, but brief. Bill numbers alone do not satisfy the requirements for reporting on this line and restatement of the general issue code is insufficient.  Use the following format to describe legislation: BILL NO, BILL TITLE, AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFIC SECTION(S) OF INTEREST, i.e.;

 "H.R. 3610, Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 1996, Title 2, all provisions relating to environmental restoration."

For specific issues other than legislation, provide detailed descriptions of lobbying efforts. Do not leave line blank. No additional space is available, so please abbreviate and enter the information in paragraph format to maximize space.

LINE 13. AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS:  Identify the name, address, and principal place of business of any entity other than the client that contributes in excess of $5,000 toward the registrant's lobbying activities in a quarterly period and actively participates in the planning, supervision, or control of such activities.

Either 'No' or 'Yes' must be checked for each level of affiliation. The LDA amendments require disclosure of some affiliates that were heretofore undisclosed, and retained the requirement for listing those affiliates that contribute in excess of $5,000 and in whole or major part (20%) plans, supervises or controls such lobbying activities. 

If 'No' is checked, the affiliated organization lines will be 'skipped'. If 'Yes' is checked, at least one affiliated organization name and address is required. If 'No' is checked after information has been entered in the lines, the information will be deleted.

The LDA Amendments state in part: “No disclosure is required under paragraph (3)(B) if the organization that would be identified as affiliated with the client is listed on the client’s publicly accessible Internet website as being a member of or contributor to the client unless the organization in whole or in major part plans, supervises or controls such lobbying activities.”  If a registrant relies upon the preceding sentence, the registrant must disclose the specific Internet address of the web page containing the information relied upon.  If the registrant chooses to use the website, it is responsible for ensuring that the web page remains valid and accurate until a new LD-2 is filed with updated information.  Please enter the URL underneath the address of any affiliates that apply.

If more than three affiliated organizations are to be listed, complete the first three, then click the blue > button in the right margin labeled 'Go to Page 3 to add more affiliated organizations'. This will move the focus to the 'Additional Affiliated Organizations' section on Page 3, where three more names may be added. If more than six affiliated organizations are to be listed, go to the bottom of page three, click the orange > button labeled 'Add an additional supplementary information page', and continue adding organizations on the next page. When all organizations have been entered, click the 'Return to page 2...' button in the right margin to return to Line 14.

LINE 14. FOREIGN ENTITIES:  Identify the name, address, principal place of business, amount of any contribution in excess of $5,000, and the approximate percentage of equitable ownership in the client of any foreign entity that:

•      holds at least 20% equitable ownership in the client or any organization identified on line 13; or

•      directly or indirectly, in whole or in major part, plans, supervises, controls, directs, finances, or  subsidizes activities of the client or any organization identified on line 13; or

•      is an affiliate of the client or any organization identified on line 13 and has direct interest in the outcome of the lobbying activity.

Either 'No' or 'Yes' must be checked. If 'No' is checked, the foreign entity lines will be 'skipped'. If 'Yes' is checked, at least one foreign entity name, address, principal place of business, contribution amount and percentage of ownership is required. If no contribution was made and no ownership exists, enter zero in those fields. If 'No' is checked after information has been entered in the lines, the information will be deleted.

If more than two foreign entities are to be listed, complete the first two, then click the blue > button in the right margin labeled 'Go to Page 3 to add more foreign entities'. This will move the focus to the 'Additional Foreign Entities' section on Page 3, where three more names may be added. If more than five foreign entities are to be listed, go to the bottom of page three, click the orange > button labeled 'Add an additional supplementary information page', and continue adding entities on the next page. When all entities have been entered, click the 'Return to page 2...' button in the right margin to return to Line 14.

PRINTED NAME AND TITLE. Enter the name and title of the person who is responsible for the accuracy of the information contained in the registration.
