GAO commented on proposed revisions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation that would implement Helium Act requirements that the Bureau of Mines procure all government major helium requirements. GAO noted that it had no objection to the proposed changes, since such changes would: (1) inform government agencies and contractors of the act's requirements; and (2) prescibe procedures for the acquisition of helium.
