The impact of the regulations, if implemented, will result in a Canadian monopoly on the cross-lake trade on the Great Lakes. It will have a significant impact on the revenue for U.S. flag lakers, and result in an economic win for Canadian-flag lakers. Lake Carriers Association(LCA) has hired lawyers and lobbyists in both U.S. and Canada to work the issue. 298860 320632 ICEBREAKER AND ICEBREAKING POLICY: In the past several Winters, the Great Lakes region lost over $1 billion in economic activity as a result of inadequate icebreakers. LCA has hired lobbyists to authorize and appropriate a new Great Lakes icebreaker for the Coast Guard. In addition, LCA's lobbyists are advocating for a new law to codify the Great Lakes icebreaking mission, set mission performance standards, and define the "resonable demands of commerce". 253353 271967 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 all paid for from the fund. 1303925 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 11 0 true 4 true 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 false false false false OH X KATIE GUMENY 4403339995 25651 DETROIT RD102 WESTLAKE OH 44145 JAMES H WEAKLEY PRESIDENT 55.00 X 288959 0 0 THOMAS G RAYBURN DIRECTOR-REGULATORY AFFAIRS 45.00 X 98903 0 0 ERIC PEACE DIRECTOR-COMMUNICATIONS 45.00 X 126335 0 0 514197 0 0 1 false true false K L GATES LLP 1601 K STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20006 LEGAL SERVICES 809575 1 1024010 1024010 Canadian Ballast Water 488300 806759 0 0 New Icebreaker 488300 320632 0 0 Water Resources Act 488300 271968 0 0 1399359 5 5 0 2423374 1399359 5 0 514197 0 0 0 26186 0 0 0 52946 0 0 0 76724 0 0 0 32262 0 0 0 925657 0 0 0 9292 0 0 0 15106 0 0 0 40672 0 0 0 39896 0 0 0 9947 0 0 0 6293 0 0 0 40550 0 0 0 939 0 0 0 4282 0 0 0 COVID-19 EXPENSES 4054 0 0 0 SEAWAY PARTNERSHIP 30000 0 0 0 CURRENT METER STUDY 18845 0 0 0 COURSE UPDATES 75577 0 0 0 1923425 0 0 0 141048 624771 10805 34757 3368 3368 24993 21361 1180 3632 156401 666528 112770 122948 112770 122948 X 43631 543580 43631 543580 156401 666528 499949 X true X false true false true false false 24993 21361 3632 3632 false false false JAMES H WEAKLEY 288959 0 0 0 0 0 27015 0 0 0 315974 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.
