INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION <br />By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective recipient of federal assistance funds <br />is providing the certification as set out below. <br />2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was <br />placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective <br />recipient of federal assistance funds knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in <br />addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the Department of Labor <br />(DOL) may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. <br />3. The prospective recipient of federal assistance funds shall provide immediate written notice <br />to the person to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective recipient of <br />federal assistance funds learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has <br />become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. <br />4. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered <br />transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," <br />and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions <br />and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You may contact the <br />person to which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those <br />regulations. <br />5. The prospective recipient of federal assistance funds agrees by submitting this proposal that, <br />should the proposed covered transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any <br />lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, <br />or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by <br />the DOL. <br />6. The prospective recipient of federal assistance funds further agrees by submitting this <br />proposal that it will include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, <br />Ineligibility and voluntary exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transactions," without <br />modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier <br />covered transactions. <br />A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant <br />in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily <br />excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A <br />participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its <br />principals. Each participant may, but is not required to check the List of Parties Excluded <br />from Procurement or Non -Procurement Programs. <br />8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of <br />records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The <br />knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally <br />possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. <br />23 <br />
