TO THE ADMINISTRATOR, GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION:

WE HAVE A LETTER OF MAY 29, 1963, WITH ENCLOSURE, YOUR REFERENCE BB, SIGNED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT AND ECONOMIC POLICY, OFFICE OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION, REQUESTING OUR REVIEW AND COMMENT ON PROPOSED REVISIONS TO SUB-PART 1-1.10 OF THE FEDERAL PROCUREMENT REGULATIONS.

THE PROPOSED REVISIONS DEAL WITH THE MAKE-UP OF MESSAGES ANNOUNCING PROPOSED PROCUREMENTS AND CONTRACT AWARDS TO BE SENT BY PROCUREMENT AGENCIES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE SO THAT SUCH INFORMATION MAY BE PUBLISHED IN THE COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY IN CLASSIFIED GROUPINGS. WE HAVE NO COMMENT TO OFFER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED CHANGES, WHICH APPEAR TO BE DESIGNED TO FACILITATE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLICATION OF SUCH INFORMATION IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INCREASE ITS USEFULNESS.
