Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

This document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form for federal contracts exceeding $100,000. The certification requires the undersigned to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence the awarding of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The document mandates disclosure of any non-federal funds used for lobbying activities in connection with the application, award, or contract.

The certification requires the signatory to include the anti-lobbying language in all award documents, subcontracts, subgrants, and cooperative agreements. Failure to comply with this certification can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation, as specified in the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The form provides two checkboxes for respondents to indicate either that no non-federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying, or that a Standard Form LLL describing lobbying activities is attached.
