1-Lobbying Certification.pdf

This document is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form for federal contracts, grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. The form requires the signatory to certify that no federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to influence or attempt to influence any government official, Member of Congress, or their employees in connection with the award of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

The certification includes critical compliance requirements, specifically that the signatory must submit a Standard Form-LL "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying" and include the certification language in all award documents, subawards, and contract tiers. Failure to comply can result in significant civil penalties of up to $100,000 for each violation. The form serves as a legal declaration that any transaction was made in compliance with Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code, which prohibits the use of federal funds for lobbying activities.
