Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

The document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form, which is required to be submitted with bids or offers exceeding $100,000. The certification is a legal document that requires the undersigned to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence or attempt to influence any federal official or employee in connection with the awarding of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

The form mandates that if any non-federal funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officials, the undersigned must complete and submit a Standard Form - LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying." The certification must be included in all award documents, including subcontracts and subawards. Failure to comply with this certification can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. The document provides two checkbox options: one for confirming no non-federal funds will be used for lobbying, and another for attaching a detailed disclosure of lobbying activities.
