About this file

This is a Federal Certification Regarding Lobbying form (31 CFR Part 21) associated with the City of Scranton's 911 Battle Street Demolition project in Pennsylvania. The certification requires the contractor to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officers, members of Congress, or their employees in connection with the award of this federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement. The contractor must also disclose any non-federal funds used for lobbying purposes by submitting Standard Form-LLL if applicable. The certification applies to all tiers of subawards, requiring subcontractors to provide identical certifications and disclosures.

The certification represents a material representation of fact and is a prerequisite for entering into the transaction. Contractors who fail to file the required certification face civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure. The form requires an authorized official of the contractor's organization to sign, print their name, provide their title, and identify their organization. The certification is binding under 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38, which provides administrative remedies for false claims and statements, making any misrepresentation subject to legal consequences.
