Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

This document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form required for federal bids or offers exceeding $100,000. The certification mandates that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, or congressional staff in connection with the awarding of federal contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements.

The form requires bidders to disclose any non-federal funds used or planned for lobbying activities related to the application, award, or contract. Failure to comply with this certification can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. Bidders must either certify that no non-federal funds have been used for lobbying or attach a Standard Form LLL describing the use of non-federal funds for lobbying activities. The document is to be executed and signed by an authorized official of the organization applying for the contract or grant.
