SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Lobbying coverage in the FAR is
based on section 319 of Public Law 101–
121, which added 31 U.S.C. 1352.
Section 1352 prohibits the use of
appropriated funds to influence certain
persons in connection with awarding or
modifying a contract and includes civil
penalties. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) guidance was published
December 20, 1989 (54 FR 52306),
which directed a FAR rule and an OMB
nonprocurement common rule be
published with the same substance. A
FAR rule was published on January 20,
1990 (55 FR 3190), which has been
occasionally revised since then. The
penalties section of the FAR provision
at 52.203–11, Certification and
Disclosure Regarding Payments to
Influence Certain Federal Transactions,
