Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

The document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form, which is required for federal bids or offers exceeding $100,000. The certification is designed to ensure transparency and prevent improper lobbying activities in connection with federal contracts, grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. It requires the undersigned to certify 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 award of the contract.

The form mandates disclosure of 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. The document provides two checkbox options: one to affirm no non-federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying, and another to indicate that a Standard Form LLL is attached describing the use of non-federal funds for lobbying activities. The form is to be executed and signed by an authorized official, with space provided for the organization's name, the official's name, title, and signature.
