Department of Defense February 10, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing this document to summarize and respond to the comments received in response to the advance notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 26916, May 13, 2010. This information was used to determine if the FAR should be amended to provide for further transparency in Government contracts. DoD, GSA, and NASA acknowledge the comments and solutions provided and will take this information into account, at a later date, in determining if the FAR should be amended to further enhance transparency in Government contracting. At this time, DoD, GSA, and NASA do not plan to amend the FAR because some of the existing acquisition systems at https:// www.acquisition.gov provide certain information on Government contracts that is readily available to the public, and most of the content of a contract solicitation or contract action not already available on one of the acquisition systems at https://www.acquisition.gov is either standard FAR terms and conditions available at https:// www.acquisition.gov/far/, agency specific terms and conditions available from the contracting agency Web site, or sensitive information that may be releasable under FOIA.
