SF-LLL: Disclosure of Lobbying Activities



Supporting Statement to Accompany SF-83I


A. Justification


1. Section 319 of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1990, PL 101-121 (31 USC 1352) required that each person who request or receives a Federal contract, grant, cooperative agreements, loan or a Federal commitment to unsure or guarantee a loan, must disclose lobbying. The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (PL 104-65) included some amendments to 31 USC 13542, popularly known as the Byrd Amendment. These amendments were effective 1/1/96.


2. The SF-LLL is the standard disclosure reporting form for lobbying paid for with non-Federal funds, as required by the Byrd Amendment, as amended by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The form is used by persons who request or receive a Federal contract, grant, cooperative agreements, loan or a Federal commitment to unsure or guarantee a loan. The Federal awarding agencies and OMB use information reported on this form for general management of the Federal assistance awards programs (see Appendix).


3. Federal awarding agencies have the option of allowing grantees to use electronic submission of alternate forms. Although agencies can allow grantees to submit electronically, or via other forms, they are only approved to collect the information approved under this information collection.


4. There is no other source for the information reported on this form.


5. The information requirements do not pertain to small business or other small entities.


6. The collection of information is required to meet a statutory requirement; thus, the collection cannot be less frequently.


7. No such special circumstances exist.


8. The information requirement has been in effect since 1989.


9. No such payments or gifts are contemplated.


10. No confidentiality is provided.


11. No sensitive information is collected.


12. The estimated reporting burden per respondent for this form is 10 minutes. It is expected that 1,000 respondents will use this form.  At 10 minutes per response, the total burden is 10,000 minutes or 167 hours.



13-18. Not Applicable.
