Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

This document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form, designed for use with bids or offers exceeding $100,000, specifically related to federal contracts, grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. The certification requires the undersigned to affirm 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 contract, and mandates disclosure of any non-federal funds used for lobbying activities.

The document outlines strict compliance requirements, including the potential for civil penalties of $10,000 to $100,000 for failure to properly certify or disclose lobbying activities. Signatories must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying" if non-federal funds have been or will be paid to influence federal transactions. The form requires the organization to either check that no non-federal funds have been used for lobbying or attach a detailed disclosure of lobbying activities, with the certification serving as a material representation of fact for the specific transaction.
