About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form required for a federal contract opportunity with Letcher County, Kentucky, related to the 2022 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Home Buyout Program. The certification applies to the county's solicitation for qualified legal firms or title companies to provide title search, title opinion, and closing services for one property under the FEMA buyout initiative. The document establishes the certifying party's acknowledgment that no federally appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officers, congresspersons, or agency employees in connection with the award of this federal contract, grant, or cooperative agreement.
The certification requires that if any non-federally appropriated funds are used for lobbying purposes, the contractor must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying. The contractor must incorporate this certification language into all subawards and subcontracts at all tiers and require subrecipients to certify and disclose accordingly. Failure to file the required certification subjects violators to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation, and the certification is governed by 31 U.S.C. Section 1352 and Chapter 38 regarding administrative remedies for false claims and statements. The certification serves as a material representation of fact required as a prerequisite for entering into the federal transaction.
