    The document outlines the certification requirements regarding lobbying for applicants seeking federal grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements over specified monetary thresholds. It emphasizes compliance with the regulations under 15 CFR Part 28, which prohibits the use of federal funds for lobbying activities aimed at influencing government officials regarding federal transactions. Applicants must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be used for lobbying and disclose any other funds that may have been used for such purposes by submitting the Standard Form-LLL. The document also reinforces that this certification is a critical component for obtaining federal funding and that violations may lead to substantial civil penalties. Furthermore, the certification obligations extend to all subrecipients involved in the project. Overall, the purpose of the form is to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of federal funds and uphold the integrity of the federal grant and contract awarding processes.
