During the winter of 2021-2022, over 1.6 million tons of cargo carrying capacity was delayed for 28 days. LCA has hired a lobbying firm to authorize and appropriate a new Great Lakes icebreaker for the Coast Guard. In addition to regular order funding, an attempt was made to fund the icebreaker via the infrastructure bill. LCA is advocating for a new law to codify the Great Lakes icebreaking mission and set mission performance standards. 159086 155829 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT - The legislation that authorizes the Army Corps of Engineers' projects also sets funding targets for appropriators. LCA hired attorneys and federal lobbyists to better fund the Great Lakes navigation system and increase the spending targets from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. This fund pays for operations and maintenance at coastal ports. Dredging, breakwall repairs, and lock maintenance are also all paid from the fund. LCA also hired federal lobbyists and attorneys to fully fund the completion of a new Corps funded lock in Saulty Ste. Marie, Michigan. 131005 128322 CANADIAN BALLAST WATER - Transport Canada has proposed and finalized ballast water regulations that will prohibit U.S.-flag ships on the Great Lakes from exporting cargo from the U.S. to Canada. The impact of the regulations will result in a Canadian monoploy on the cross-lake trade on the Great Lakes, and significantly decrease revenue for U.S.-flag ships. LCA worked with a lobbying firm to file a petition with the Federal Maritime Commission requesting an investigation into the Canadian government. LCA continues to work with Transport Canada, the EPA, FMC, and the U.S. Coast Guard as part of this effort. 1306127 false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 5 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false true true false true true false false true false false true false false false OH X KATIE GUMENY 4403339995 25651 DETROIT RD102 WESTLAKE OH 44145 JAMES H WEAKLEY PRESIDENT 55.00 X 291064 0 0 THOMAS G RAYBURN DIRECTOR-REGULATORY AFFAIRS 45.00 X 94370 0 0 ERIC PEACE DIRECTOR-COMMUNICATIONS 45.00 X 133583 0 0 519017 0 0 2 false true false K L GATES LLP 1601 K STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20006 LEGAL SERVICES 880234 1 424122 424122 New Icebreaker 488300 995231 0 0 Water Resources Act 488300 155829 0 0 Canadian Ballast Water 488300 128322 0 0 1279382 1703504 1279382 0 0 519017 0 0 0 71076 0 0 0 60341 0 0 0 77991 0 0 0 36057 0 0 0 863558 0 0 0 9154 0 0 0 5168 0 0 0 36324 0 0 0 40557 0 0 0 8329 0 0 0 305 0 0 0 33750 0 0 0 1045 0 0 0 3932 0 0 0 SEAWAY PARTNERSHIP 30000 0 0 0 COURSE UPDATES 7565 0 0 0 GREAT LAKES PARTNERSHIP 32000 0 0 0 1836169 0 0 0 624771 534951 34757 640 3368 8850 24654 22067 3632 2587 666528 547028 122948 136113 122948 136113 X 543580 410915 543580 410915 666528 547028 -132665 X true X false true false true false false 24654 22067 2587 2587 false false false JAMES H WEAKLEY 291064 0 0 0 0 0 23285 0 0 0 314349 0 0 0 Pt VI, Line 6 THE ORGANIZATION IS COMPRISED OF APPROXIMATELY 13 MEMBER Pt VI, Line 6 COMPANIES REPRESENTING PRIMARILY SHIPPING VESSEL OWNERS Pt VI, Line 6 AND OPERATORS ON THE GREAT LAKES.
