About this file
This document is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form (31 CFR Part 21) that requires a contractor to certify their compliance with federal lobbying regulations. The certification consists of three key provisions: first, the contractor affirms they have not used federal appropriated funds to influence government officials or members of Congress in connection with awarding federal contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. Second, if non-federal funds have been used for lobbying, the contractor must complete and submit a Standard Form-LLL "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying". Third, the contractor must ensure that this certification language is included in all subawards at all tiers and that all contractors certify and disclose accordingly.
The document outlines significant legal and financial consequences for non-compliance, including civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure to file the required certification. The form 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 their statements and acknowledges that they are subject to administrative remedies for false claims under 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38. The certification serves as a material representation of fact and is a prerequisite for entering into federal transactions involving contracts, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements.
