About this file

The document is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form (31 CFR Part 21) for a federal contract, which requires certification that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence government officials in connection with the awarding of federal contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements. The certification mandates that if any non-federal funds are used for lobbying, the contractor must complete a Standard Form-LLL "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying" and include this certification language in all subawards and subcontracts.

The form stipulates significant penalties for non-compliance, including civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure to file the required certification. The document requires the signature of the contractor's authorized official, along with their printed name, title, and organization. By signing, the contractor affirms the truthfulness of the certification and acknowledges that false claims may be subject to administrative remedies under 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38.
