<br /> <br /> <br /> CALIFORNIA <br /> OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY <br /> <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES <br /> <br /> RESTRICTION ON STATE LOBBYING <br /> <br /> None of the funds under this program will be used for any activity specifically designed to urge or influence a State or <br /> local legislator to favor or oppose the adoption of any specific legislative proposal pending before any State or local <br /> legislative body. Such activities include both direct and indirect (e.g., "grassroots") lobbying activities, with one <br /> exception. This does not preclude a State official whose salary is supported with NHTSA funds from engaging in direct <br /> communications with State or local legislative officials, in accordance with customary State practice, even if such <br /> communications urge legislative officials to favor or oppose the adoption of a specific pending legislative proposal. <br /> <br /> CERTIFICATION REGARDING DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION <br /> <br /> Instructions for Primary Certification <br /> <br /> 1. By signing and submitting this Grant Agreement, the Grantee Agency official is providing the certification set out <br /> below. <br /> 2. The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of <br /> participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot <br /> provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the <br /> department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the Grantee <br /> Agency official to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this <br /> transaction. <br /> <br /> 3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the <br /> department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the Grantee Agency <br /> official knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal <br /> Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default. <br /> <br /> 4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which <br /> this Grant Agreement is submitted if at any time the Grantee Agency official learns its certification was erroneous <br /> when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. <br /> 5. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, <br /> primary covered transaction, principal, Grant Agreement, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the <br /> meaning set out in the Definitions and coverage sections of 49 CFR Part 29. You may contact the department or <br /> agency to which this Grant Agreement is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. <br /> <br /> 6. The Grantee Agency official agrees by submitting this Grant Agreement that, should the proposed covered <br /> transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lowertier covered transaction with a person who is <br /> proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9 subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily <br /> excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency entering <br /> into this transaction. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 Certifications and Assurances (Rev. 2013) <br /> <br /> 20A-15 <br />
