This is a Lobbying Certification form issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture for contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements involving Federal appropriated funds. The certification document establishes the requirement that the undersigned certify compliance with Federal lobbying restrictions and disclosure obligations. The form mandates that no Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to influence officers or employees of Congress, members of Congress, or Congressional employees in connection with the awarding of Federal contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements, or any extensions, continuations, renewals, amendments, or modifications thereof.

The certification must be executed by an authorized signatory such as the Chief Financial Officer or designee and represents a material representation of fact upon which reliance is placed in the transaction. The form requires that identical certification language be included in all sub-award documents at all tiers, including sub-contracts, sub-grants, and contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. Additionally, if any non-Federal funds have been or will be paid for lobbying purposes, the contractor must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying, in accordance with its instructions. Failure to file the required certification subjects any person to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure, as imposed by section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code.
