WASHINGTON -

The Home Depot Inc.spent $233,250 in the third quarter to lobby on legislation aimed at stabilizing the foundering house market and other issues, according to a recent disclosure report.

The home improvement chain also lobbied the federal government on legislation involving identity theft, import tariffs, sales taxes, energy efficiency credits, labor issues and more, according to the report filed on Oct. 20 with the House clerk's office.

The Atlanta-based retailer has seen particularly hard hit by the slowing economy and housing market slump as consumers spend less money improving and renovating homes.
