INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION <br />1. By signing and submitting this proposal, the prospective recipient of federal assistance <br />funds 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 <br />notice to the person to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective <br />recipient of federal assistance funds learns that its certification was erroneous when <br />submitted or has 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 <br />Definitions and Coverage sections of rules implementing Executive Order 12549. You <br />may contact the person to which this proposal is submitted for assistance in obtaining a <br />copy of those regulations. <br />5.

The prospective recipient of federal assistance funds further agrees by submitting this <br />proposal that it will include the clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, <br />Suspension, Ineligibility and voluntary exclusion - Lower Tier Covered Transactions," <br />without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower <br />tier covered transactions. <br />7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective <br />participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, <br />or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is <br />erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the <br />eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to check the List of <br />Parties Excluded from Procurement or Non-Procurement Programs. <br />8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system <br />of 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 />9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 5 of these instructions, if a participant <br />in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a
