The Contractor must require subcontractors <br /> provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was <br /> erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. <br /> Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance <br /> with 49 CFR § 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor: <br /> 1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included <br /> on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or <br /> 2)whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign <br /> country on such USTR list; or <br /> 3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR <br /> list. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of <br /> records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The <br /> knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally <br /> possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. <br /> The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate <br /> this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor <br /> may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign <br /> country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S.firms as published by USTR, <br /> unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous. <br /> This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making <br /> an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an <br /> erroneous certification,the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)may direct through the Owner <br /> cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA. <br /> 14.
