This document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form for federal contracts or grants exceeding $100,000. The certification requires the undersigned to affirm that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence a federal transaction, including the awarding of contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements involving a member of Congress, an officer, or employee of an agency.

The form mandates that if any non-federal funds have been or will be paid to lobby in connection with the application/award/contract, the organization must either check a box confirming no such funds will be used or attach a Standard Form LLL disclosing lobbying activities. Failure to comply with this certification can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation. The document is designed to ensure transparency and prevent improper lobbying efforts in federal transactions, with specific requirements for disclosure and compliance.
