D.C. Cir. R. 26.1

(a) A corporation, association, joint venture, partnership, syndicate, or other similar entity appearing

as a party or amicus curiae in any proceeding must file a disclosure statement, at the time specified in

FRAP 26.1; Circuit Rules 5, 8, 12, 15, 18, 21, 27, and 40(c); or as otherwise ordered by the court,

identifying all parent companies and any publicly-held company that has a 10% or greater ownership

interest (such as stock or partnership shares) in the entity. A revised corporate disclosure statement

must be filed any time there is a change in corporate ownership interests that would affect the

disclosures required by this rule. For the purposes of this rule, "parent companies" include all

companies controlling the specified entity directly, or indirectly through intermediaries.

(b) The statement must identify the represented entity’s general nature and purpose, insofar as

relevant to the litigation. If the entity is an unincorporated entity whose members have no ownership

interests, the statement must include the names of any members of the entity that have issued shares

or debt securities to the public. No such listing need be made, however, of the names of members of

a trade association or professional association. For purposes of this rule, a "trade association" is a

continuing association of numerous organizations or individuals operated for the purpose of

promoting the general commercial, professional, legislative, or other interests of the membership.
