Long-Term Loan or Guarantee Application
ATTACHMENT D: Anti-lobbying Declaration/Disclosure
The provisions of this Attachment D apply to the following, as applicable: direct loans, medium-
term insurance policies and final commitments for medium or long-term guarantees.
1.
Anti-Lobbying Law.
Under a U.S. law (31 U.S.C. 1352), recipients of U.S. government loans (which includes direct
loans from EXIM), grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements, are prohibited from
spending Federally appropriated funds to influence certain U.S. government employees,
including EXIM employees, in connection with the awarding of any such Federal award.
Recipients of U.S. government loans, grants, contracts and cooperative agreements may
spend non- Federally appropriated funds for such lobbying purposes; however, they are
required to declare and disclose such lobbying expenditures related to a specific
transaction.
The law also requires recipients of EXIM guarantees and insurance to declare and disclose
any lobbying activities in connection with the particular guarantee or insurance policy.
Declaration and Disclosure Forms are to be filed by applicants and recipients, including
certain exporters and suppliers, as defined below.
2.
Compliance Procedures. 2a. Who Must File.
All applicants for direct loans, medium-term insurance policies and final commitments for
medium or long-term guarantees must file the appropriate Declaration, in the form
annexed to this Attachment D, regardless of whether any funds have been spent for
lobbying purposes.
For applicants for direct loans, if any funds have been spent for lobbying purposes in
connection with this direct loan, a Disclosure Form must also be filed as directed in the
annexed Declaration. The Disclosure Form is OMB Standard Form LLL, “Disclosure Form
to Report Lobbying,” (http://exim.gov/sites/default/files/forms/lll.pdf).
For applicants for medium-term insurance policies and for final commitments for
medium-term and long-term guarantees, if any funds have been spent for lobbying
purposes in connection with the insurance policy or guarantee that is the subject of the
transaction, a Disclosure Form must also be filed as directed in the annexed Declaration.
The Disclosure Form is OMB Standard Form LLL, “Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying,
(http://exim.gov/sites/default/files/form/lll.pdf).
The Declaration and/or Disclosure Forms must be received by EXIM from the applicant
before EXIM will consider the application for a final commitment.
All recipients under EXIM programs, who are not the applicant for a final commitment, must
file the appropriate Declaration and, if they have spent funds for lobbying purposes in
connection with the EXIM transaction, a Disclosure Form. Recipients include borrowers who
receive EXIM direct loans, exporters who receive EXIM insurance and lenders who receive
EXIM insurance or guarantees.
The Declaration and/or Disclosure Forms must be received by EXIM from the recipients
before EXIM will enter into a loan, or issue an insurance policy or guarantee.
All suppliers who have entered into a contract in excess of $100,000 with the recipient of an Ex-Im
Bank direct loan or grant must file a Declaration and, if funds have been spent for lobbying
purposes, a Disclosure Form.

Such suppliers must file the Declaration and/or Disclosure Forms upon being awarded the
supply contract.
2b. Exemptions.
The law has been interpreted so that it does not apply to foreign governments, their
instrumentalities or their wholly-owned companies. Therefore, these entities are exempt
from filing both the Declaration and Disclosure Forms.
The law’s disclosure requirements do not apply to loan, insurance or guarantee transactions where the
U.S. Government-financed portion is $150,000 or less.
2c. How To File.
Complete the appropriate Declaration Form on the following page. If you are required to
file a Disclosure Form, it will be provided by EXIM upon request. Any person who fails to
file the required forms shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not
more than $100,000 for each such failure.
