Sec.  32.17  Certifications and representations.



    (a) OMB Circular A-110 authorizes and encourages each Federal 

agency, unless prohibited by statute or codified regulation, to allow 

recipients to submit certifications and representations required by 

statute, executive order, or regulation on an annual basis, if the 

recipients have ongoing and continuing relationships with the agency. 

The Circular further states that annual certifications and 

representations, when used, shall be signed by responsible officials 

with the authority to ensure recipients' compliance with the pertinent 

requirements.

    (b) DoD grants officers shall comply with the provisions concerning 

certifications and representations at 32 CFR 22.510. Those provisions 

ease burdens on recipients to the extent possible, given current 

statutory and regulatory impediments to obtaining all certifications on 

an annual basis. The provisions thereby also comply with the intent of 

OMB Circular A-110, to use less burdensome methods for obtaining 

certifications and representations, as such methods become feasible.
